Pork Medallions with Sliced Mushrooms; sunrise

Thyme for Cooking Posted on by

I’m planning my weekly menus more carefully now. Since the start of the pandemic I have switched to doing the shopping every 2 weeks rather than weekly. I do a monthly drive-through pick-up for the bulky things like wine, beer, milk, household cleaning supplies and any canned things I might need and I’ve always had dog food / treats delivered.

Still, shopping for 2 weeks at a time is definitely more work – but more than offset by not having to do any shopping on the off weeks.

Back to the planning…. I arrange the menus so we eat the most perishable foods first. The mushrooms and fresh spinach are gone within a few days but the cabbage, sauerkraut and frozen spinach are saved for second week. Carrots and celery easily last 2 weeks and there are always frozen peas – and dried beans to be cooked in my Instant Pot.

I like having my fridge, freezer and pantry full. I have never liked doing the shopping that fills them.

This was dinner the day after shopping:

Pork Medallions, Mushrooms

We’ve either had rain or mist or fog of clouds almost constantly for the last few weeks. When I came downstairs one morning and saw a hint of color through the windows I grabbed my camera along with the dog when we went out for our walk.

It was a beautiful sunrise.

It was calm – also unusual lately.

The sun rising was brilliant.

Guapa was bored – but managed to find sufficient things to sniff while I enjoyed the beauty of the morning.

    • I saw that on the news this morning – and the bit when they emptied the tennis stadium…. Stay strong !
      5 days and done is better than waiting and then doing 2 or 4 weeks (which I think may be our future).

  2. Beautiful pictures! I’ve forgotten what it looks like green. It’s snowing again…

    I need to make this recipe. Over noodles or rice, I think. It looks delicious.
