Feast or famine. Today both cousins will be coming. I have tons of things for cousin #3 to do, including setting up my new medical alert system. She really should drive the Subaru as well. It's been too long.
What's on tap for you today?
Breakfast - Protein bar
Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Stuffed cabbage, mashed potatoes, carrots, fruit cocktail
Dessert/Snack - Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Cookie
Dinner- Stouffer's Beef and Broccoli - WAY TOO SPICY!
What did you eat yesterday?

Hope the cousins get a lot accomplished for you today especially your medical alert system.
I'm mid way through the week of being home alone and I do miss my daughter. It's hard living alone
Last night I had grilled chicken on a salad.

I agree 200% with not liking to live alone. I hate it. Some crave solitude but not me. Cousin #3 got my medical alert system set up. Your salad sounds yummy.

Your home will be full of activity today, I am happy for you for that Linda.
Yesterday I had to work until 5, so was lazy and just made a quickie meal for us.
It was tater tots and breaded shrimp.
We each had a garden salad on the side.
The weather has been so much cooler as of late that it has me thinking of soups, and I may make some this weekend for my workday lunches next week. I noticed cauliflower on sale last week in the produce department, so perhaps cauliflower soup with a bit of broccoli and a tiny bit of carrots (for seasoning) would be nice.

I love broccoli. I could make an entire meal of it...and I have! Cauliflower soup sounds good too.

I got up about 4:30am to pee and felt fairly awake, so decided to cook up some potatoes and make some jello, so I'll be having that sometime later today. I also made a cup of green tea with apple cider vinegar and honey, and had a cookie, but I think I'll go back to bed as soon as I finish here.

@LindaOHio I did, thank you, and now I think I'll do the "rinse and repeat" thing... my head is spinning and my throat is ticklish still from that major reflux episode the other day.

@LadyDuck Yes, I need to downsize. I have a whole closet and armoire full of my husband's clothes which need to be donated.

If you can, I'd go out and just start it once in a while. I know it's hard for you to get around, though. Either way.
I made a batch of Bremer Salisbury steaks with a medley of roasted potato, onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini on the side. Very good eats!
There were no leftovers.

Yes, I make sure that it gets started and driven occasionally. Very important to drive it.

Just now
@LindaOHio And you still won't absolutely drive it? I know you can drive, and I am pretty sure you have a license. Might be nice just to hop in every once in a while and take a drive, even if you aren't intending on going somewhere in particular. It would do you some good, I think.

Anyone who comes and runs errands for you should drive the Subaru. We had hamburgers last night. Guacamole as well. I ate salty snacks all day yesterday.

Are you getting enough hydration? Your body could be craving salt to preserve the liquid you have.

Definitely a “feast” kind of day with both cousins around! Cousin #3 hopefully gets to drive that Subaru
. Yesterday? I went light - just some toast for breakfast, sardines for lunch and leftover mung bean soup, paired with dried fish for dinner. A mix of comfort and surprise with that beef and broccoli of yours. Sounds like it packed more punch than expected! Hope today’s meals treat you more gently.

Yes, I would never buy the beef and broccoli again. Today from Meals on Wheels we are having meatloaf.

Suprised the beef and broccoli would be so spicy. Normally that isn't a spice dish. I had chicken caesar salad, pulled barbecue chicken, and cherrios and blueberries.

I’m going to enjoy the relatively nice day before the heat comes back.
I had the usual for lunch and Progresso chicken pot pie soup and a cheese sammich for dinner. Plus apples, yogurt, and fiber!

Yes, it's going to be over 90 here later this week BUT we are supposed to get some rain which we need badly.

I could go for a Dairy Queen BBQ chicken fingers basket. All I need is for someone to get it for me.

That sounds good. If I win the lottery, I can hire you as my chef.

The important stuff is done; but there's so much more.
