And then real life sets in!
I was doing so well but I wasn't actually living my normal routine. This week R went back to his normal schedule and that meant a lot more travel.
On the 18th I went to a hockey game after work so I did not make anything. I pretty much rushed home from work (as much as you can when there is a bit of a snow storm and everyone is going slow), fed the dogs, took them outside and then left.
I have to admit, although I had a homemade muffin for breakfast for lunch I picked up an antipasto plate from La Bottega and some bread and then I ate that for lunch and dinner. Fail!
On the 19th I worked and then drove up to see R and bring him the dogs. He lives about an hour and a half away. I called as I was getting close to see what he wanted to eat for dinner. He said cereal. I told him I'd go to the grocery store but he thought it was too late for that and suggested take out if I didn't want cereal. But I was determined. In the end we both went to the grocery store and picked up the Dole Asian Crunch salad in a bag and some frozen shrimp.
This is a fall back recipe we both enjoy. R makes the shrimp as I assemble the salads. I will have to ask R what he puts in the shrimp because I honestly don't have any idea. I'm pretty sure I saw some teriyaki sauce, soya sauce, and something red. The shrimp were already cooked so they really only needed to be warmed up and flavoured and then put on top of the salad.
So that was dinner. I'll add photos soon I just left them on R's camera.
The next day I drove back to my city for work. I'm pretty sure I had to buy a muffin for breakfast that day and can't for the life of me remember what I had for lunch. I had a meeting with a caterer after work (which was already 6:30) and I had decided to drive back up to see R because I was going away for the weekend the next day. The caterer gave me two chicken dinners to take up with me and seeing as I didn't get there until close to 10pm I decided just to eat that. I was going to take a photo but I was too hungry.
So this was all a total fail. I think what attributed to it all was the fact that we didn't have any food up at R's place and I didn't have anything ready to go at my place.
Planning and shopping! That's what I really need to work on. I am really going to have to make up for these three days.
