I’m going to not one but TWO outdoor shindigs this weekend which really makes you realize that once the sun comes out in Estonia everyone just flocks to the outside world. Next week I’m supposed to have a nice beach picnic as well, when it rains it pours (though I hope it doesn’t rain).

I’m trying to catch up with editing the 15 recipes I have pending so there’s no lack of content but for whatever reason editing recipes is a very droning task for me so I end up taking a lot “breaks” where I also end up writing on watching YouTube videos. Well, at least menus aren’t too bad (this only took me 20 minutes to make and about 5 to post!)

This is the last week before we take two weeks in Germany so it’s kind of a weird menu because I’m trying not to buy too many things or leave anything around to rot. Unfortunately that makes it a little low on the nutrition scale also but hopefully it’s not too awful.

I’m doing some house sitting for the next two weeks but we won’t be going over there until Tuesday so I kind of don’t want to shop until I can shop at the place I’ll be staying so the menu is a little messy for the next week. Good thing I made too much food last week!
