"A Gentleman Caller".........
As Amanda Wingfield in the play, "The Glass Menagerie", called a potential beau for her daughter, a "Gentleman Caller", we had a Gentleman Caller of sorts here, again.
Yes, it was another Opossum wanting to sleep under our house. I doubt it was the same one as before. Hubs said this one had an attitude when he got trapped.
Hubs hauled his bony butt off to where we let them loose...a nature preserve far from our development.
Onward to the meal planning!
Here is what was planned for the last week.....
1. Sunday--Catfish, Teriyaki Green Beans
2. Monday---Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, Leftover Yellow Squash
3. Tuesday--Chicken Marsala, Mashed Potatoes(optional), Leftover Broccoli
4. Wednesday--Beef, Stir-Fry Veggies
5. Thursday--Pot Pies(Chicken or Turkey)
6. Friday--Leftovers
7. Saturday--Leftovers(if no leftovers, we'll think up something else)
And here's what actually happened....
1. Sunday--Catfish, Teriyaki Green Beans
2. Monday---Pork Tenderloin Sandwich, Leftover Yellow Squash
3. Tuesday--TV dinner Teriyaki Chicken
4. Wednesday--Crab Cakes, Shrimp, Leftover Broccoli
5. Thursday--Chicken Marsala, Brussels Sprouts
6. Friday--Leftover Pork Tenderloin, Salad(Had that at Lunch)
7. Saturday--Leftover Chicken Marsala, Brussels Sprouts
Most everything happened but not necessarily when planned. When didn't take out something to thaw on Wednesday and didn't feel like pot pies on another night plus we were out of Marsala wine so that meal had to wait until we picked some up.
What got taken out of the freezer.......
* Catfish
* Pork Tenderloin
* TV Dinner
* Crab Cakes
* Shrimp
* Chicken
