The Week Recapped

This week certainly has been eventful! 

On Tuesday our new meal caterer delivered delicious home made food straight to the door. All we had to do was reheat the food, cook some rice to go with the dishes and wash up afterwards. We ordered Japanese tofu with pork mince, fried pork and salt and pepper chicken ribs. The pork and chicken although fried, did not taste oily. All three dishes tasted wholesome but tasty. 

The next day I bit the bullet and finally went to the dentist to seek advice about a maligned wisdom tooth. What I didn't expect was to walk out of the surgery 45 minutes later with one tooth gone and a week's worth of steps to full recovery post wisdom tooth removal.

On Thursday more new varieties of meals were delivered but I was still on a soft food diet. I wasn't going to let it deter me so I cut everything into small pieces and just swallowed them whole. The Nestum chicken was really delicious but quite oily. The other dishes were fried fish with Thai chilli sauce and braised tofu. 

We tried out a new cafe for lunch on Saturday. It was a location we have never really noticed before even though it was in our local area. The owner and his wife are such friendly and generous people that it was no wonder everyone who came into the cafe greeted them like long lost friends. We ordered a big breakfast and a chicken parma. The food was average but so generous. Who has ever seen a big breakfast that came with 3 eggs, 4 pieces of bread plus hash brown, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms and 2 sausages all for $13.50? 

We even had some leftovers for a picnic dinner in the park while enjoying open air opera in Canterbury Gardens. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed the show plus felt good supporting our musicians who have been sidelined for so long by the pandemic. 

After an eventful week and a nearly healed jaw, I was finally able to catch up on house chores. My plan was to do some food preparation so that I have less to cook during the week. I made 5 dishes (my target was 6) that just needed to be reheated in some sauce. It was so tiring! For some R & R I got into Wordle, something I had become quite hooked on during the week. 

Wordle is like Mastermind with words and it has been very enjoyable trying to guess the 5 letter word of the day in 6 tries or less. So, that has been my week. Night!
