Monday - Sunny and warm
I woke up this morning a little late but was up before 9. I watched the news and then got dressed. I had a quiet day, but I did do a couple of loads of laundry, so got something done!
During the day I followed along with a situation in my women’s group. At the moment I don’t have to get overly involved, which I’m glad about.
I went downstairs after 5 pm to start working on dinner. I made some guacamole and F called while I was in the middle of it. He said that he’d be late tonight, so I slightly changed plans. I made the guac, put it in the fridge to meld, then I started scrubbing 3 potatoes. I decided to have a dinner of guacamole and chips, salad, baked potatoes and tuna salad. I made it all. It wasn’t difficult, just a bit time-consuming. I used a method where I pre-cooked the potatoes a bit in the microwave and then I oiled and salted them and put them in the oven. In this house, the microwave and the oven are the same thing, so it was a tad tricky!
I brought the food out to K and tried to explain that F would be late. We ate and things were good. We had sour cream and also tuna salad on the baked potato, so it was quite tasty. I liked the method I used as well, so yum. We were nearly finished eating when F called and said he was on his way. I might have scandalized K, but I didn’t clear the table. To be honest, I wanted a little more food. When F came back, I gave him his dinner. He was a bit of a goof though, he tried to pick up the entire potato with his chopsticks. I yelled at him! Even his mother didn’t try that. He said that he didn’t see his knife. Fair enough, it was covered with salad, but….
After dinner, guess who got to do all the clean up as usual. Yup, muggins here. Can’t quite believe it. Good thing there wasn’t that much to do as I’d done a bit along the way and I didn’t have pots and pans either.
F was tired, but I needed a few groceries. We went over to Komeda Coffee first and had kakigori. The waitress had told us that it was the last day for them! We both had kiwi and they were very nice.
When we finished we went to the grocery store, but we’d forgotten that they were closing tonight because they had to set their computers for the new tax. Darn.
We went to the drugstore across the way and I picked up a few things I needed. For me, I wanted coffee creamer…got it. I also got some dishwashing liquid and some detergent for my clothes. Yay.
We came back to the house and F set up the bread maker for the morning. We don’t have any bread for tomorrow. K might like some, I’m not sure. I might like some too! Or, I’m thinking of making avocado toast for dinner!
I watched some TV upstairs, F watched his computer a bit. We were too busy and tired tonight to try setting it up, a good reason not to try tonight.
That’s about it for me for tonight. Tomorrow I have to pack my backpack for my trip on Wednesday and I have to cook dinner again. Yay me! I’m so lucky. Come back later if you like and see what I get up to. Until tomorrow….
