Making salads with shredded Parmesan and hummus dressing.  Also dressed a slice of Casava bread with raspberry jam.  That was good too.

Thank you Hellie. I am OK but am really dragging anchor so to speak - actually that is what my Mother would say. Not on top of the world, the quarantine has me stir crazy although I agree it is necessary. Am frustrated one cannot go to even their own doctor now, all on the phone or whatever. I have a scan coming up, the running around I have to do for the arrangements then get the scan but NEVER see my MD. He will call me on the phone to discuss the results of the scan.  Now that part makes NO sense at all to me because this would be one time a person would NEED to see their MD in person. Oh well, what can I say.

Not doing a lot of cooking - hard to stand up for more than a minute - LOL - and certainly not in to bending and carrying much either. I am managing to eat well however. Not always perhaps what I would normally eat, but am surviving. Actually have put on a pound or two - probably tied into all that cream cheese I am eating with the cinnamon/raisin bagels. LOL. Did have a good Fajita meal the other night - I bought it already packaged at Aldi's and it was super good and certainly easy to fix.

Was beginning to panic a bit yesterday - had ordered some Keurig coffee pods from sam's some weeks back - down to my last one yesterday and FedEx showed up with my coffee about 4 p.m.. Whew!!

Hope all are well

Pulled out ground turkey and I think I may go full on Italian and make some meatballs in homemade sauce.  I have so much Parmesan for my salads that I am thinking meatballs and maybe a pizza burger or pizza tacos could make my dinners this week.

Thanks for your tips Pooky1 - just great. My computer is going nutso also - am trying to hang on to it as I am just way too old for a new one. LOL

Nice day today and by Friday of this week the experts now say it will be 90 or so. Hard to believe but this is Sou Cal and weather is never the same two days in a row. In June we normally dress our kids in layers as it is bitter cold when they leave home and by 10 r so in the morning sweaty hot. Oh yes

Tomorrow morning need to head to the small WM in Redlands for a few things. I much prefer the BIG Super WM in Beaumont but it has become difficult to handle - so very large and they have closed up one major set of cashiers and exit door. The virus had nothing to do with that - as they did it about a month or so before all this stuff hit. Way to hard to maneuver in that place now. Sad

Hope all had a great day!

Yesterday’s meal was roast chicken, oven fried potatoes, corn and cole slaw.   

Today the house is empty with just hubs and me, so it’s an easy meal of slaw dogs and fries.
