We had Shrimp Fra Diavolo for dinner last night. These are the ingredients. They were all in my freezers and pantries. If you don’t have any white wine, you can substitute chicken broth for it. I have done that many times.
It turned out delicious as usual. This shrimp was getting close to being freezer burned so I needed to use it up. I think it was old when I bought it. Top’s marks over the expiration dates on all of their seafood. They have been doing that since the pandemic started. You have to ask why they are hiding the date. From now on, I will buy my shrimp elsewhere.
We had roast beef sandwiches with au jus gravy on buns for brunch today.
All meals were made with what we have at home.
I have another CD expiring soon so I am doing my research to see what the interest rates are at two different credit unions. I will put it with the one that has the highest interest rate.
Hubby mowed the lawn on Tuesday and today he is weeding some of the gardens. Turf Tec fertilized the lawn yesterday so we let the sprinkler come on today to water it in.
I am going through every item in this house and selling what we no longer use or donating it. The less we have the less we have to take care of.
That is it for today. I will be back tomorrow with more.

Hi Precious. I am so impressed by your industriousness. I really need to go through our things too. Today I did my usual grocery shopping. I did end up going over my budget by $17, but I did find the coffee earlier in the week. I also stocked up on Chi Chi salsa that we love. It was .99/jar at Meijer and I bought 12 jars.
We had everyone over for supper tonight and had some sausages we had gotten at Costco awhile back, baked beans in the crock pot, fruit salad, broccoli, tomatoes and cucumbers from Hubby’s garden and leftover ice cream sandwiches from last week for dessert. Shouldn’t have to cook all weekend. Tomorrow is our day to have little granddaughter.
We got the water bill and it was the usual 71.xx.
Hi Chris,
That is a great price on the salsa.
It is great when you can eat off of leftovers for days.
