Because we are leaving on our summer vacation later tonight, I haven’t wanted to do much grocery shopping and have been trying instead to just eat up what we have left in our fridge and cupboards. Our meals this weekend haven’t been too too strange: macaroni and cheese for the kids, western omelets (with fresh salsa) for me and hubby, bean burritos (with more salsa) for everyone. We ordered pizza on the Fourth of July to eat at a backyard gathering with our neighbors. Sunday was getting trickier though – leftover pizza for lunch, pasta and tomato sauce for the children for dinner. I had an omelet and hubby had a fried egg sandwich.
Today will be even more interesting – or boring – depending on how you look at it. For fresh items, I’m down to one potato, a couple of onions, a lemon, two cucumbers, a bunch of grapes, a few plums, two pots of yogurt, and four eggs. There is plenty of bread in the freezer and a jar of peanut butter in the cupboard. Fried potatoes and scrambled eggs for breakfast sounds like a possibility. After that it will probably be take-out because I’m saving the peanut butter sandwiches for the plane!
The only thing left to do is actually pack up and then hope the rest goes smoothly; forget comfort, I’ll settle for a minimum of delays and no lost luggage. They’ve changed my flight times so instead of having a stop-over in NY with a (blessed) night of sleep in a hotel, instead we get to go all the way through in one really long day. Goodie. There isn’t a neck pillow made that can make a journey like that comfortable…
Jenyfer, wishing you and your family a safe trip back to the U.S.
