Hello Dear Readers,
The weather decided to warm up today, but the snow isn’t ready to bow out just yet. While there’s a solid chance it’ll melt away soon, the piles around here still make my wife a little wary of venturing out. Fingers crossed that tomorrow brings clearer roads and fewer icy surprises.
We skipped the grocery store run this week because of this snowy hiccup. That means no pre-packed meal kits from my wife, though she did lay out a game plan by picking recipes. The only catch? We’re missing a few ingredients, so I’ll need to play Chef Tetris with the menu. Luckily, I’ve made most of these meals often enough to wing it or pull off some creative swaps.
On the bright side, we’ve got frozen curry to save the day—or, in this case, the week. My wife, in her infinite meal-planning wisdom, froze it into neat little one-cup blocks and vacuum-sealed them like treasures. All it took was a quick pot of rice and voilà—curry and rice ready to go. Minimal effort, maximum comfort food.
Oh, and let’s not forget our trusty Sunday pizza tradition. It’s the highlight of the week, snow or no snow. Honestly, having a stash of homemade freezer meals and a little creativity in the kitchen makes weathering winter storms much easier (and tastier).
So, here’s to warmer days, clear roads, and always having a backup plan—preferably one that involves pizza.
