Doesn’t everyone eat have pizza for dinner the first night in their new place? Well, that or take out. I don’t think we’ve had take out chicken teriyaki and rice since since we left Gig Harbor. Not once.
Market Basket $48.16
Wild Mike’s pizza though, it was pretty good. The HH went grocery shopping after dropping off the U-Haul and didn’t deviate from the list. I was impressed. He must have been tired or something. What’s missing from this picture?
A neighbor brought over a homemade cherry pie. {How nice was that!?} The HH went to the door though because it was just before 6 pm and I was already in my pajamas and that’s not how you want to meet someone for the first time. I did meet her the next day though when I was out in the yard with the fence guy and the first thing she said was “I like your glasses”…. so clearly she’s got style. 😉
Hannaford $152.35
I went to the local grocery store, Hannaford’s for rations {a platter of pickety bits had been high on my list of things to buy} and ended up just throwing whatever sounded quick and easy in the cart. Which apparently meant 6 pints of ice cream. I couldn’t find a single box of Good N’ Plenty or Red Vines in the store. What is it with Red Vines here? It’s like New Englander’s will only allow Twizzlers in their doors or something {which by the way are totally gross because they taste like sticks of plastic}.
Something tells me Hannaford isn’t the the most inexpensive joint in town. Then again, it could have been all the ice cream and cheese I tossed in the cart. I think when you move, you’re allowed a week or two of food splurges.
If you like banana pudding, you’ve got to hunt down a carton of Steve’s Ice Cream Southern Banana Pudding. Crushed vanilla wafers in a creamy banana ice cream….it’s divine.
The Girl turned 24! And yes, she came with us. And I’m pretty sure she’s not leaving until she has the funds to pay for an ENTIRE house. That kid. She likes her job, and is able to commute so you know, why bother getting a place of your own when you can just live with your parents and save, save save? We’ve been trying to get Monkey Boy to move out here but he’s having too much fun with his friends and wants to stay put.
To celebrate moving to a new home, we went on a real date. Like, a REAL one with cloth napkins and bread and butter before the meal. 😉 Totally not Cracker Barrel!!! I couldn’t believe it.
Happiness is finding the Crock Pot.
And making a delicious Mississippi Pot Roast pot pie the next night.
And last but not least, the Sunday night pickety bits feast. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Oh how I’ve missed them.
It was a good week, with lot’s of yummy food. Next week though, I have a feeling the HH will have found the BBQ and we’ll be back to weenies and grilled chicken.
Have a great day everyone,
