Good morning, Alice and everyone.
I’m so glad the weekend is here. Even though I don’t have big plans I always look forward to the weekend. It is really getting hot down here and my husband will be trying to do more work on our roof tomorrow afternoon. I know he’s going to be miserably hot up there in the sun with it reflecting off the metal. He will need to pace himself and take lots of water breaks.
Alice, could the beans you were using be old? I have had this happen a time or two and I figured I must’ve bought a bag of older beans from the store.
Last night for supper I pulled all the leftovers out of the refrigerator and heated them up and repurposed a couple of things too. We had leftover taco meat, refried beans, and a couple of shells. That was enough for Emily to have 2 tacos. I took about a half of cup of cooked chicken and made chicken salad with it. I toasted some leftover Italian bread and made one and a half sandwiches. Tony had the chicken salad sandwiches. Then for Maddie, my granddaughter, I warmed up the leftover chicken nuggets and French fries she didn’t finish the night before. That used up all the leftovers except for half a can of pork and beans and a hotdog. I cut up the hotdog into the beans, added some diced onion, barbecue sauce, and a little garlic powder to make homemade beanie weinies for Tony to take for lunch. I am trying to be better about using up leftovers and repurposing them into other meals. I ended up eating a couple of Maddie’s chicken nuggets and a tiny piece of leftover steak.
