so long, holiday food

After almost three weeks of eating Mom's food in abundance, I am back to menus of a single college student.

Jordin and I spared little time before making our "Signature Stir-Fry." I don't think that it is actually stir-fry. It's cut up chicken breast, cooked in a skillet with butter. Then we toss in whatever vegetables we have on hand and eat it over rice or potatoes.


Aren't those satisfying colors? We love the cooking, smelling, and eating of this tasty dish.

Thanks goodness for our big batch of Sunday stir-fry, because I was running dangerously low on food this week due to lack of time and a ride for grocery shopping.

Depicted above are sad contents of my portion of refrigerator space. I also had flour, butter, and milk, so biscuits were a staple this week.

Also, my ever-comforting and refreshing Big Swig! My currently preferred beverage mix is Diet Pepsi with a shot of Dr. Pepper. My walk to the gas station is always a highlight. I usually combine my stroll with a phone call to a family member or some leisure reading. (The icy state of the sidewalks right now adds a new level of risk to my reading-walking endeavors. It's hard to navigate ice and slush while also giving my attention to a novel. I make it work.)

Postscript: I went grocery shopping last night. I'm back in the black food-wise. Hooray!
