Yes! Hubby loves shrimp, asparagus and noodles in a wine sauce. I get all revved up to make and by dinner time...nah. Chinese.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•46 days ago

I think it's a pretty common scene. We start off the day with the best expectations.

roookii.bsky.social•46 days ago

I just wear out faster now.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•46 days ago

I hear that. I think that we're all emotionally and psychologically exhausted, to be honest.

hfyou.bsky.social•45 days ago

Pizza! Pizza!! More pizza!!!

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

charva42.bsky.social•45 days ago

I feel this in my bones.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

Right?! We start out with the best of intentions...

xtinarey85.bsky.social•46 days ago

Or end up having cereal

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•46 days ago

Yes, or PB&J...anything that's quick and filling.

3dmouse.bsky.social•46 days ago

Thanks Kathryn; will get it sorted out via my desktop as iOS on my iPhone 6s is too old for the app 😵‍💫😵

On another note the biggest Pizza chain in my country has “Pepperoni Crunch” which has Pik-Nik added. I’ve tried it a few times and have gone back to extra pepperoni 🍕😋🤤

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•46 days ago

What? Wait. I have so many questions: Where do you live? What is Pik Nik? The only thing I could find is shoestring potatoes??

3dmouse.bsky.social•46 days ago

That’s it: Pik-Nik is the brand name for shoestring potatoes.

And I live in the 🇵🇭

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

So they add shoestring potatoes to pepperoni pizza? I see why you nixed it. That's odd...to say the least.

arescuedlife.bsky.social•45 days ago

It's the thought that counts.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

that's true. I started off strong...

defeline.bsky.social•45 days ago

So me!😂😂

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

Uh huh. Well, at least you tried. With thoughts.

gloria6262.bsky.social•45 days ago

LMAO

shenaniganizer52.bsky.social•46 days ago

Ah damnit. That’s what I forgot!
I forgot to make veggies with my dinner the other night. I need to put a sticky note somewhere or suhm. I keep forgetting 😂😂

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

Hey, there's tomatoes in that sauce, right??

shenaniganizer52.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yeah! True! Didn’t think ab that
My mom is always the first to say that I needed to be making veggies with my dinner, so I always dismiss the tomato component of the sauce😂😅

dlbaldwin7.bsky.social•45 days ago

Relatable.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

I know, right?

celya723.bsky.social•45 days ago

🍕 Us adding extra Hormel Pepperoni to our on-sale premium freezer pizza 😋 cuz we're lazy/tired/unmotivated on a budget 😆

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

It sounds delicious to me...

elliaustr17.bsky.social•46 days ago

Same 🤣 I feel like I can do anything when I wake up but at the end of the day I have no more energy and just want my pizza delivery and Netflix 😅

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•46 days ago

It's so true. All incentive just goes right out the window.

lovedemirish.bsky.social•46 days ago

beezerbear.bsky.social•45 days ago

😂😂😂 just found you, new follower. Why did it take me so long??Thanks for the laughs!!!!!

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

I'm glad we found each other, BeezerBear! I'm just over here trying to make life less sucky for the rest of us.

calgal48.bsky.social•45 days ago

Yup 👍🏻

agent86-fan.bsky.social•45 days ago

It's shocking how closely you described my day!

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

It's like we're living mirrored lives...

erindickins.bsky.social•45 days ago

I feel ya.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

Thanks, Erin 😁

cornwalljackson.bsky.social•45 days ago

Hey man, you can't just call me out like that.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

Lol. Sorry, cornwall. I forgot that you wanted a pie, too. Next time, I promise. 😁

jewels1961.bsky.social•46 days ago

I did the same thing, and ended up settling for a lousy frozen bean and cheese burrito. 🌯 😂

sneadly.bsky.social•46 days ago

One of the great things about social media is finding out you’re no goofier than everybody else.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

This is one of my favorite things about SM.

whitewaterlawyer.bsky.social•45 days ago

4:45 PM!

Either you are excellent at planning ahead, or you procrastinate your lunch breaks worse than I do.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

Yeah, on days when I have pizza, it's the only thing I'll allow myself to eat all day.

whitewaterlawyer.bsky.social•45 days ago

my pizza consumption goes one of two ways.

Whatever is on hand at the closest possible little Caesars, or fancy homemade with no fewer than three different cheeses.

OK actually four, also either the fanciest traditional Italian thing or the standard New York slice when in New York. which is often.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

YUM. That looks really good. Now I'm hungry. Gotta to eat lunch.

balinvolvo.bsky.social•45 days ago

Same dinner plans ❤️ well I did get the chicken part done but I decided that chocolate cake would be my vegetable and starch accompaniment. So… my freezer pizza is safe for now 😁

If God didn't want us to get delivery, he wouldn't have given us the ability to travel anywhere in 30 minutes or less

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

That is so true. And I did pray for pizza today.

lynnegibb.bsky.social•45 days ago

Girl after my own heart 😉

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

😁

madmarciac.bsky.social•46 days ago

Same 🤣

agostmoon.bsky.social•45 days ago

That’s me!

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

You too, huh? At least we start off with good intentions...

agostmoon.bsky.social•45 days ago

The other day I decided roast beef, bake potato and an artichoke. I had roast beef.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

A roast beef...sandwich? 'Cause that sounds about right.

agostmoon.bsky.social•44 days ago

Just the beef!

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•44 days ago

Oh. LOL! Well, at least you got part of it done!

marticlepan.bsky.social•45 days ago

I, too, have ADHD.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

And you love pizza, right?

marticlepan.bsky.social•44 days ago

I sometimes say Pizza's name while I'm with Salad. Awkward.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•43 days ago

Oh wow. You'd better watch out, them's fighting words.

75fornow.bsky.social•45 days ago

I've taken to making dinner at lunchtime. Solves lots of problems!

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

Oh wow. But you don't *eat* the dinner at lunchtime? 'Cause i'd be really tempted to. I'm glad we've connected, jgr2books. If my posts here resonate, you might also enjoy my Substack. It’s free! No pressure, of course, but I do share extra fun stuff there. Link’s in my bio.

kevyblue.bsky.social•45 days ago

I hate it when I do that. I'm focused and energetic in the morning so I'll prep stuff for dinner then some Italian place jumps out in front of me on the way home...

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

YES. That's exactly what happens to me. Except sometimes, it's a chinese place that does the jumping.

ttaylor36.bsky.social•45 days ago

When I was working my crockpot was my best friend 😊

saclawyer.bsky.social•45 days ago

Now you’ve made me hungry.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

Me too. Then again, I'm always hungry.

kwamebao.bsky.social•46 days ago

Felt this

seven.modr.us•46 days ago

This happens.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•46 days ago

Yes it does. A LOT. 😁

havethet.bsky.social•45 days ago

This sounds sadly familiar. I'm even worse now that I live alone. Many nights I don't even have dinner. Unless popcorn is dinner?

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

Well, popcorn is dinner, imo. I often skip dinner myself and rely on lunch to be my main meal.

tac24.bsky.social•46 days ago

Or eat a bowl of popcorn! LOL

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•46 days ago

Oh yeah. Or kettlecorn. Or Cracker Jacks if I want something really sweet.

yesthatkefke.bsky.social•45 days ago

Every damn time.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

Right?! We start out so STRONG

milwaukee2024.bsky.social•46 days ago

Tsk tsk
Get butcher to spatchcock it
Set oven to 400F with a cast iron in it
Peal and cut potatoes in round thick slices
Season chicken
Once oven is ready take pan out, put potatoes in a layer & chicken on top
Cook for one hour
Set table
Watch a sitcom
Warm up some canned corn
Dinner!

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

You make it sound so easy. And delicious!

milwaukee2024.bsky.social•45 days ago

It is easy!
I've made it many times
I'm an empty nester now. I get the butcher to give me a small chicken and half it. Then I cook one half only. You can do the potato idea or not. It's just easy to do it all at once.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

I'll be moving next door to YOU.💙

milwaukee2024.bsky.social•45 days ago

It's 🥶 in Wisconsin!
Hahaha

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

Oh, my. Then I'll have to visit...but only in non-winter months. (I'd had my fill of winter in NY, thankyouverymuch)

rlfdr.bsky.social•45 days ago

The asparagus messed you up. Shoulda gone with green beans.

kathrynkatiekwrites.substack.com•45 days ago

Lol. That's it. I need to simplify the meal. Maybe go with baked potatoes?
