Biggie has decided

[susandennis]

Biggie has never been a fan of wet food. He used to dabble when I'd set some out for The Smalls. Since The Smalls has gone, I've tried a variety of ways to convince him that wet food is good and he's just not having it. No brand, no texture, no flavor. He might lick some off the top but otherwise, ignores it.

So I give up. I'm reclaiming the shelf space formerly housed by cans and packets of wet cat food. There's actually not much left. When seattlejo and I finally get together for our planned AV brunch, I'll hand over a bag of the remainder and so ends smelly, yucky, disgusting cat food.

I'm delighted to be a dry kibble house. Biggie continues his march to the most low maintenance cat on the planet.

Massive disappointment this morning... my boyfriend was not at his window!!! No sign of him. It was like it was the weekend. No laptop, no smile, no wave. I'm like so why am I even walking???? He better have a good excuse, that's all I gotta say.

My first Dinnerly box arrived yesterday and I made my first meal last night. It was way more cooking than I generally do but I did not take short cuts and it was delicious. And I have the other half of it for dinner tonight. Plus, of course, two more meals. $40 a box. I'm pretty happy with it. They want to send me 3 meals a week. But, since it's 3 meals for 2, a week, and I'm only 1... happily, it's easy to skip a week.

Today I have no plans at all. Nothing on tap.

I just looked on my calendar and discovered a notation for 'Justin Beiber concert'. WTF??? No details in the notes, no clues at all why in the hell I'd have a Justin Beiber concert on my calendar. And then I remembered life BV. He was scheduled for a concert at Century Link Field - the stadium across the street. I note big draws on my calendar so I'll know not to make plans that involve my taking the car out or anything else that might not be easy when a biscillion people descend on my neighborhood. Ha. Tonight, at concert time, I'm guessing there might be a handful of people out walking their dogs. Maybe. Also, it's supposed to rain so maybe not. Wonder what old Justin is up to.

I think I might just enjoy the day knitting and watching TV. I have plenty of both to keep me entertained.

Oh nice! The boys will appreciate it. They may send a gift stickie with me to keep biggie happy

[susandennis]

So sad the male gender has let you down. First, no boyfriend, then no Justin.

On its behalf, I apologize.

[susandennis]

yeah, bad boy day here. we appreciate your support.

What the hell, Boyfriend? Turning fickle so early in the relationship?

Well Boyfriend had better be back there next time!

I subscribe to the local baseball, soccer, and football teams precisely for the same reason - I live three blocks from the first two stadiums, and you don't want to get caught on the wrong side of town during a foot ball game. Haven't noted the concerts yet - I'll have to hunt those calendars down.

The one-offs are the worst and hardest to corral, that's how I got JB on the calendar. I add them the minute I get a hint.

I'd tried a bunch of the meal boxes over a couple of years, but haven't tried Dinnerly. They did tend to be more involved than a lot of what I would usually do, but I loved the creative recipes and the ingredients I wouldn't normally think to use!

Sometimes I had a guest, but more often than not, like you, I was cooking for two just for myself! Leftovers for lunch worked fine.

The last I explored was attached to a local farm, and they used a huge range of local ingredients from their farm and other local producers, which I loved. Unfortunately it ended up being way too much effort for them and they stopped.

I had the second one of the first dinner last night and it was just as delicious. Well, maybe a little more since I was able to tweak the potatoes more to my liking.

I've looked at all the others but never actually tried any because I never found more than one of their meal ideas that appealed to me. I find most of Dinnerly's options pretty darned appealing. I may not keep it up but, for the $, it's a fun option for now.

Every week at the end of my (Zoom) voice lesson, I take out my calendar (paper in my case) to schedule the next one, and I always see one or more things that had been scheduled for some night during the week. Sigh.

I can never get over the cost of food in the US. $40 for 6 meals! Our biggest equivalent, My Food Bag, is $16.25 a plate so for your six meals a total of $97.50.

[susandennis]

ohhh that is pricey!
