Tonight we are getting signs of winter. Lots of snow in the south island, and a coolish night with lots of intense rain. Mum was glad that it was only just starting as she left work, so she got the groceries home nice and dry. She was feeling our small pantry was a bit depleted, but now feels better as she has lots of nice things to take for lunch this week, and most of the weeks dinners planned. Tonight she had leftover sausages, peas and mash from last night with some kiwifruit for her supper. Tomorrow night she has pork chops and will roast up some sweet potato + potatoes and cook up a big lot of broccoli and carrots that will last most of the week.
Eggs were boiled tonight to make sandwiches tomorrow for lunch and a quick eggs on toast for breakfast, and the rest of the week there is soup to take to work with a toasted cheese sandwich - good cold weather food.
We were looking at those destructive tornadoes in the US on the news. Scary stuff, we are so lucky that we only have a few little ones in NZ. Amazing that anyone survives.
Oh and another sign of winter is that every night I climb onto mums lap for a little snooze. No longer than five minutes. She sits quietly and lets me snuggle, but I never stay long.
Have a great night. Keep warm or cool depending on where you live!!

I always thing how good your Mum is, preparing food for days to come Poppy!x
ReplyDeleteI just look in the fridge or cooker and see what's about..! HeHe!
I never go short though...! :>).
Oh! And, that nasty weather, on it's way...Never mind Poppy!x Stay snuggled up to Mum when you can, or in your little bag cave...!x
Ditto, our human never plans ahead re: meals. Loathsome chore, in her opinion.
ReplyDeleteYour weather probably still is warmer than ours, Poppy, though of course it would feel cool to you. It's kind of nice to have lots of comfort food and warm, snuggly blankets and laps in the winter, though. :-)
Heheh! Here the Winter is coming too!!!!

Your Mum sounds very organized! My Mum does simple meals but she tries to make them healthy. I think with winter coming on it's nice of you to snuggle your Mum every night...no matter how briefly, it's the thought that counts.
ReplyDeleteThe tornadoes were terrible. It all passed us and we got very little rain! I know your Mom enjoys the snuggle time

ReplyDeleteOur spring began more than a month ago, but it feels like autumn most days. It's unseasonably cool in southern Alberta. We may not get summer until you do!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it's about time for the winter cozies where you are, Poppy!
ReplyDeleteGood idea filling the pantry--did she get lots of feast for you?
ReplyDeleteMum is jealous of your mum, Poppy. Having you snuggle up to her. I NEVER snuggle. Still chilly here even though it is spring, so the weather man says. Meow, Jessica
ReplyDeleteI'd tryin stealin some of that pork chop if I were you.
ReplyDeleteHeck, mum is still eating cold weather food here. Lots of soup to be warm.
