Dinner Time

This was tonight's dinner - spicy chicken tacos.   Mum got asked about her food subscription.   She uses My Food Bag which is a NZ one.  On Weds she gets an email telling her what will be delivered on Sunday.  It will tell her if she needs any pantry items like olive oil, butter or milk.  On Sunday afternoon her box is delivered at approx 3pm straight to her door.

In the box are the recipes and ingredients for 4 meals, one of which is big enough for two people to eat.  Mum finds there is often enough for leftovers the next day and will get 6-7 meals out if the food.   The chucken/fish/meat is all in sealed bags and chilled along with vegetables and things like sour cream.

They support NZ businesses and use local fresh ingredients and base menus on seasonal produce.  It has got mum eating more salads than normal and her work trousers were a little loser this week.  She has learnt a lot of new menus and techniques which is good.

Mum had been a bit bored with her own cooking and this has got her a bit more enthused.  It is pricey at $99 but mum is shopping less and less likely to waste any food so it is not so bad.  It is also easy to opt out of if you go away or would like to stop for a while.  There a range if types of boxes for different size family or vegetarian options.

Me - well I'm easy.  A cab of feast each night suits me.

Dinner Time

Dinner time was early at our house tonight.  Mum had a 7am start, but luckily that means a 3pm finish.  She stopped off for groceries but was home by 4.30pm and hungry.  So she microwaved her leftovers and served up a fancy feast for me.  Then she thought she should get out the vacumn cleaner to hoover up all the biscuits I had spilled out of my bowl.  Such old ladies!!!

Hope you have all had a good start to your week.

Dinner Time

It was dinner time, and mum got home late tonight.  She didn't finish til late.  Then she dropped a DVD back to the library, went and bought me some fancy feasts at the supermarket, then pick herself up some dinner before I heard her come up and path, and I called out to her.

Boy - Friday night is hopping at our house.  Still, we have a nice vanilla candle burning, and glee is playing in the background as mum does some chores.  She has a good book to read, and will try and hit the sack earliesh, as she got home from shift late last night.  Best of all - no on-call this weekend!  Yippee!

Did you notice my stack of dinner plates!!  Don't worry they are all in the wash tonight.
