Day #3135 (Mon., Aug. 6, 2018) – Organics At Aldi
I drove out to Aldi today to see about the selection and if they have organic products. They do, and in fact, a much greater selection than I initially anticipated. I took photos of the various products and plan to compare them with Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and Sams. We are spending way too much on groceries and it will be good to get this part of the budget under control.
Baby Ayra woke Bobby up from his nap for a change today. What a switch.
While at Aldi I picked up some vegetables that are in the shapes of dinosaurs (see photo to the left). I baked them in the oven when I got home along with some meatballs so that the kids could have dinner as soon as they got home from swimming. Katie especially liked the ones made from sweet potatoes.
It started to thunder and lightning so the kids came home from swimming class early. I guess Bobby is really taking to the water. A few short months ago he would cry when you put him in the water. Today he put on goggles and put his head under water to take a look.
Since I have been giving Maple treats she is following me around the house. Kind of annoying.
Laura, Katie’s piano teacher, has taken a new position, so she will no longer be able to take Katie as a student. My wife has another piano teacher in mind.
I’m starting to think of various meals that we can have during the week. How about pizza and movie night on Saturday? Meals around the dinner table on Sunday night? The week in food is starting to take shape.
