Oops!

I had grand plans to actually have Tuna Sandwiches for dinner last night. However, by the time I picked up Man, it was late & we ended up at the Food Court. Bad, bad, bad, I know.

We ended up having the tuna for dinner tonight.

Tuna Sandwiches & Soup

Ok, folks, I think I'm back. Not full-force HausFrau, but back nonetheless. We are happily living in the new Haus in Virginia with the bare minimum of everything - including kitchenwares. Currently, my kitchen utensils include:

one big pot, one little pot, one sautee pan
spatulas & serving spoons
2 decent knives
cutting board
metal bakesheet & large stoneware bar board
grater, strainer
few pieces of plastic storage containers w/lids
2 sizes of Ziplocks

What I am missing that I should have thought of . . . vegetable peeler, can opener & corkscrew.

Yep, I'm subsisting on screwtop individual bottles of wine.

Not only is the kitchen mostly bare, Man is in class for the next 4 weeks at Belvoir & I have to play taxi service (both AM & PM). Obviously, there's preciously little time for cooking & working the magic. So, for the next month, our dinners will be as simple as possible.

Tonight's meal (right after I borrow a can opener from one of my uber-nice neighbors):

Tuna Salad Sandwiches on Whole Wheat Bread

albacore tuna, celery, apple, eggs, red onion, Kosher dill pickles, Miracle Whip & pepper

Served with:

celery & carrot sticks, cucumber slices
chips
canned soup: choice of beef or chicken (I loaded up a Costco last week)

I also found some awesome raspberry/vanilla swirled gelato & we will be having that for dessert.
