Calling it Day 8

Last night I had hoped to cook a small ham that was in the freezer and combine it with some yummy scalloped potatoes.  It didn't happen.  Tired happened.

So we ate our leftover salmon, brown rice and frozen peas from the night before.  Cute comment by the hubs..."how thoughtful".  He was referring to the addition of some baby gherkin pickles that I found in the fridge.  AND we found some tomato chutney in the larder which was a gift from someone a few years back.  It was delish!  The only complaint from the first night of the curried salmon was the overpowering of the curry flavour.  Funny how adding this chutney enhanced the flavour and subdued the curry.

Enjoyed some Cabernet Sauvignon from the wine cellar (DH is a winemaker so this was from his 'stash').  Felt pretty fortunate to have such an excellent dinner without doling out the money for it this week.

Tonight will be the baked ham, scalloped potatoes and probably some canned corn or carrots as those are the veggies we have left.  I'll probably have to shop for fresh stuff tomorrow but the bank account has been VERY happy this week!

Until next time, frugally yours,

Mavis
