Today's game was No-Wallet Monday. I left my wallet in my car. Not usually a big deal, except that today my husband is driving said wallet-containing car, and I barely ever have cash on-hand. So with $20 dollars scrounged up from around the house, the challenge was to get enough for Monday's dinner.
Here's what happened on Monday and what's cooking for the rest of the week.

Pillsbury Manapua
No-Wallet Monday
Fed the ohana for $11, plus char siu and edamame from the household 'freezer pantry'.
Pillsbury Manapua and an Edamame Salad that deserves a second look, using yuzu from a friend's yard. Bought the following: 2 tins of Pillsbury biscuits, 2 bunches of green onions, a bag of shredded carrots, 1 bunch of fresh mint, plus a cake of tofu for $11! Everyone is happy and full.
Tuesday
Should be a normal weekly shopping trip now that I've retrieved the wallet. Chicken Divan, at the request of the teenagers.
Fishy Wednesday
Mahi-mahi with tomato butter sauce. It's time to get this out of the Greenhouse and into a regular rotation. It's too good, too close and too easy not to finalize it.

Mediterranean Lamb Stir Fry
Meatless Thursday
PDQ Hot and Sour Soup. Skipping the pork and using only the tofu from the $11 purchase on Monday.
Friday
Mediterranean Lamb Stir Fry. We had takeout Caribbean food this weekend and tried curried goat. I may try to use goat instead of lamb, as it is the more locally raised animal, but we shall see.
Eat Well. Be Well.
Be grateful for those who defend our country.
