Hexagons prepped, check

I made myself a list of things to do today. I'm happy to say I actually checked off about 5 or 6 from the list. 

One thing on the list was to prep hexagons. Once these are stitched, I have enough prepped for another column to add to the quilt. 


I made a list of meals for the week. Well, most of the week. I tape this to the fridge. 

Monday - was the corned beef and veggies in the crock pot that got unplugged and stopped cooking Sunday afternoon, so I let it go all night on low. I added an irish soda bread to the meal. 

That lead to a change for Sunday (which would have been the corned beef meal with cabbage). We fried some empanadas for dinner. I have a friends Mom from Puerto Rico that occasionally takes orders and will deliver them frozen to make some $. I got a dozen each of beef and chicken. We cooked up 3 of each for the 4 of us. 

Tuesday - I had pan seared scallops with garlic and lemon, the rest had salmon. I made a sheet pan of roasted red potatoes with rosemary and blanched some asparagus. Yummy.

Wednesday - Greg asked for the Mexican Skillet meal. It is quick and easy.

Thursday and Friday I left open. Emily added pork schnitzel with homemade mashed potato and peas for Friday's meal. She has winter guard practice Thursday from 4-6 and didn't want to miss 'her' meal. She usually helps me with getting the schnitzel prepped for frying. Aidan might also be late on Thursday. It depends on if his retainer is ready or not yet. Did I mention he got his braces off last Wednesday?

What I'm reading. I just finished the 3rd book in the Stella and Lyndie series by Clara McKenna. Murder at Keyhaven Castle. I'm enjoying this on my audible audiobook.

Then I swapped to my Libby app since The Thursday Murder Club Mystery - book 2 became available by Richard Osman. The man who died Twice. I'm enjoying this mystery series as well. I hope more of his books become available with my library card soon.

What are you reading?

I am reading "A Restless Evil" by Ann Granger--I love her series of Mitchell and Markby murder mysteries...

Your hexies look good! I think it takes longer to prep those than to sew them up. I've read one of the Thursday Murder Club mysteries - I should get the next one. Yummy sounding meals - what is the Mexican skillet? I need some new ideas!
