Weekly Menu Plan 1-21 to 1-27-04, 2024

 

 

Not a happy camper this week.  Frigid temps, snow, school delays and closings, too cold to go out.  January.  Not my favorite month, definitely.  I'm so glad we are entering the LAST FULL WEEK OF JANUARY.  Hard to believe, right?  It seems like we just finished Christmas.  And it looks like, after today, we are heading into the 30's, 40's, and even 50's by the end of the week!  This morning it was -3 degrees when I got up.  So the forecast is looking good to me!  I know I am so spoiled living in Indiana!  I don't know how people can stand winter living in places like the UP in Michigan, or the New England states.  I think I would lose my mind.  

Then there's February, right around the corner.  For some reason, although it's the shortest month, it seems like the longest month to me.  I think it's because there's nothing really going on in February (other than Valentine's Day), and everyone is getting restless to go outside and see spring.  And this year is a leap year, so it's almost as long as a regular month.  So, to look on the positive side, we're almost halfway through the longest part of winter.  The days are starting to get longer, and pretty soon we'll be seeing tulips and daffodils popping up.  Right?  Right???

We're still eating from the freezer.  We ran to the grocery store for milk, eggs, bread, and coffee creamer.  That was it!  Maybe later this week I'll do a regular shopping trip.
