What I'm Reading This Week #23

How do, all?  I hope if you had a short week it didn't drag like short weeks tend to do.  (At least they do for us.)   The Mr got off early one day this week and we road tripped to a drive in to see A Quiet Place 2 because usually anything new is good.  Thankfully, this was worth it and it was a nice way to beat a case of the 'mundanes' that tend to come during the week.  

Here's a case of what was on our plates this week.

Monday I took advantage of a sale through Amazon Fresh of Caulipower Veggie Pizzas.  While I appreciate the new 'stone fired' crust in order to make it more crispy, now there's ZERO sauce on it.  (Not that there was before, really)  Next go round will see if they can handle a drizzle of my low sodium marinara without sogging out because that was like eating cardboard.

Workout was a 3 lapper around the hood.

Tuesday was BBQ chicken pita pizza and Brussels.

Another 3 lapper but it was hotter than advertised before we started walking.  Bleh.

Wednesday was BBQ shrimp and cheese grits.

Workout was Turbo Fire Sculpt 30.

Thursday was Butternut Squash Ravioli and roasted broccoli.

Workout was 3 laps around the hood between pop ups.

Now let's pop into...

Amazon's Sidewalk feature will share your internet connection. Here's how to opt out  (For Amazon ECHO and RING users!!  If you do not opt out of this, this is a violation of your contract with your ISP and could cause problems.  Not sure how the heck they can get away with this but you now have 5 days to do it!  This is why you won't find a true "smart" device in our home.)
