Once again, my meal plan was messed of. Of course this will not be forgotten
by some here and we'll hear about it for years.

I bought 4 steaks at the Business Costco. Since Costco only sells large
amounts of things, I did not buy any sides there.

Angela made cookies for her dad. There was a misunderstanding there. I
thought she told me that the clearance item the had purchased was cookie
dough. Nope. It was some mix that required an egg. And we were out of eggs.
So when we went to buy eggs, I picked up a twice baked potato already made
at Albertsons for his dinner. Yes, I know I could make one myself but I
didn't want to waste ingredients. Unless Angela is on a nacho binge, sour
cream just doesn't get used up here.

I had wanted to buy asparagus since he loves it, but they wanted $4.99 for a
very small bunch. I had intended to see if they had frozen for cheaper but
then I forgot to look. Not even sure that it comes frozen.

Anyway, as I was searching for the potato, he said that he had already eaten
it. So the mad scramble was on. Cooked a box of rice pilaf. Again, I know
that I could make this from scratch, but it is one of those things that he
may or may not eat, so I just buy it once in a while on sale.

So he had the steak, rice pilaf, green beans and rolls. Angela had steak and
pasta salad. I haven't eaten yet. Will either be leftover chili or pasta
salad. Maybe rolls too depending on how the carbs appear to stack up. I add
a lot of raw veggies to the pasta salad in proportion to the pasta.

Need to go get my onions started. I'm going to do baked beans in the
Crock-Pot overnight.
