Seeing as how my refrigerator is packed, I have to use up some food. We've
just been eating dinner out far too often lately.

I'm doing sort of a minestrone but no pasta in it. There are potatoes.
Why? Because I need to use them up. The remaining red potatoes I got from
Costco were starting to go bad. Not really sprouting but about half of them
were beginning to go soft and were slightly wrinkled. I would have
preferred kidney beans but the first thing I pulled out of the cupboard were
small red beans. I do need to use those up. A couple of years ago, my
husband determined that those were the best beans for nutrition so was
eating a can a day. Then of course after I stocked up, he quit eating them.
Bah! I think I'm down to 2 or 3 cans of them now.

Angela and my husband are having roasted chicken and American cheese
sandwiches along with it. Why? She found some football picks at Target and
wanted to put them in a sandwich for her dad. We also had part of a loaf of
bread that expires today. So that worked.

Now if we just hadn't spilled that salad all over the floor, things would be
good! We ate last night at Wendy's. Not my favorite place by a long shot
but it was cheap and we can get stuff free of allergens. I was too full to
eat my salad so brought it home. The lid never did want to fit tightly and
Angela accidentally knocked it out. It spilled all inside the fridge and on
the floor. At least there was no dressing on it.
