The "They Just Won't Go Away" Edition.....
I snapped this photo as I neared our street late last month. This is the "committee" of buzzards who roost nearby where we live, waiting for me to die so they can pick my bones clean. lol I don't plan on kicking off anytime soon. Look for a free meal elsewhere vultures!
Onward to the meal planning!

2. Monday--Hubs wants Chinese buffet after procedure so we'll have that
3. Tuesday--Dinner out at Trivia?
4. Wednesday--Leftover Lasagna, Salad
5. Thursday--Something with Chicken-Fajitas?
6. Friday--Asparagus Risotto, ?
7. Saturday--?
And here's what actually happened....
1. Sunday--TV Dinner(me), Jello for Hubs Nom Nom
2. Monday--Chinese Buffet at Hubs request
3. Tuesday--I had a Cheeseburger at Trivia
4. Wednesday--Crab Cakes, Leftover Roasted Broccoli
5. Thursday--Chicken Fajitas
6. Friday--Home Chef meal(Beef in Burgundy Sauce, Carrots and Whipped Potatoes)on clearance at Kroger
7. Saturday--Chicken Teriyaki w/Stir-Fry Veggies
I was good at the buffet on Monday-had sushi, half a plate of green beans, some General Tso, some Baked Chicken and my downfall of Crab Rangoon. ;-/
I had half a Rotisseries Chicken leftover so sliced the meat off the bone and put it into the Fajita filling on Thursday. We found a couple Home Chef ready to eat meals on clearance at Kroger on Friday. The rest of my marked down Rotisserie Chicken went into the Teriyaki Stir-Fry. We had enough leftover rice for Hubs to have with the Stir-Fry.

What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?
Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?
Any deals on food at your stores this week?

When are you moving away from buzzard corner? ;). Hilogene in Az.
ReplyDeleteHilogene, if it were up to me and I could just throw my shit in a car/truck, I'd be out of here tomorrow(or yesterday?). But unfortunately we have to sell this house before we leave so who the heck knows! ;-)
DeleteI know a little town below Cullman that has buzzards around all the time in even larger groups. I imagine that murders are flung out and to be devoured by buzzards. They are flying around the skies all the time. Really creepy.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad there was no liver mentioned in the post. If I were there I would throw any liver from the freezer into the yard to feed the buzzards.
ReplyDeleteI can eat my weight in Crab Ragoon.
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you on that one!lol
DeleteWe have buzzards in front of us in woods and behind us also. Hate it when the Amish just pull the cow or horse that died out in their field or behind their woods and let it rot for the buzzards. Smell is horrible. I note what needs ate on my to do list. Sometimes it actually gets ate.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like it would be annoying about the buzzard feeding on dead animals that large.
DeleteWe've been really good about eating the leftovers lately.
I have two pizzas in the oven and a lot of black bean soup. That should be enough to last until the weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe have quite a few hawks around here. I’ve noticed them watching people walk small dogs.
We had a hawk who circled around our backyard waiting for my chihuahua to appear. Glad we have the dogs on leads and not an enclosed yard so if the hawk tried to grab him, he wouldn't get far before the lead yanked him back. ;-)
