What we bought, spent and ate this week

Hello Dear Reader,

I think the days are gaining momentum, these final weeks of 2018 are flying by! I started a list in August of things that I wanted to get done by the end of the year and I am happy to say that most of that list will be ticked off by tomorrow. There will, unfortunately, be six rather large/difficult jobs to tackle after tomorrow though. These jobs will require time, effort and brain space to be completed, they include-

Sorting out the huge quantity of photos belonging to my late in-laws we have stored in our daughters storage shed

My late FIL's shed next door, it is packed to the rafters with so much stuff, he was also a shopper and collector of stuff.

Hundreds if not thousands of files of photos on memory sticks which belonged to my late MIL

Items to go to the local Baseball and Gun club

Many old family portraits to go to a family member who did the family genealogy a few years ago

And lastly the scattering of Grans and my MIL's ashes

You can see why we are having difficulty completing these last few jobs they definitely require time and for us to be in the right head space to do them. Hopefully early in the new year we can tackle them.

Now on with something much easier, what we bought, spent and ate this week-

What we bought

Shopping from Coles

Plus some mark downs from Coles, picked up on Thursday afternoon. The tomatoes will go in salads for lunches, the mushrooms will go in this slow cooker Beef Stroganoff and the cauliflower has already been used in a spicy cauliflower rice 

Shopping from the Northside Discount Fruit Barn

Shopping from Aldi

What we spent

Coles-$59.70 + $5.70 on Thursday afternoon
Northside Discount Fruit Barn-$13.33
Aldi-$73.45 

TOTAL-$152.18

What we ate

Friday-A rare family night out at Tempest Teppanyaki, they had a super special on as they have released a new menu. We used this time together as a family to start planning for Christmas.

Saturday-Left over from Drunken Chicken with Gai Lan and steamed Basmati rice

Sunday and Monday-Upmarket Tuna Pasta Bake, recipe coming soon

Tuesday-Lentil and Carrot Curry with steamed Basmati rice and papadums

Wednesday-Tempura Whiting with Choy Sum and steamed Basmati rice

Thursday-Mushroom and Bean Curry with Spicy Cauliflower Rice

So a few new recipes and a few more items used up from the freezer and pantry, my favourite this week was the Upmarket Tuna Bake, it is so very good! I will share that recipe next week.

Over to you, anything new on your menu this week?

Have a lovely day,
