I don’t know why I cannot seem to get back in the groove with cooking but it looks like we’ll be getting a new fridge next week or the one after that so I hope it helps. Food prices went up here NOTICEABLY which is sort of strange because it’s the summer which in theory should have lower food prices but what’cha gonna do?

I have a very good excuse for not posting a menu in a month: I was on an extended vacation with my mother the whole time! It’s been a huge trip and I’ve eaten some new and exciting things but it’s always nice to come home and have a kitchen that’s all my own again too. No Saturday and Sunday this week because my mother is still here so we’ll go out but an almost full week after that 🙂

After a very exciting (a little longer than a) week away in Lisbon, we’re back home and so it’s back to the menu grinding board. Honestly I already made a half menu for the time we were back and I really missed cooking and having control over what we eat and when. As freeing as it is to not have to cook, I actually mostly prefer cooking my own food believe it or not.

Going to a coffee festival this weekend so I hope that it doesn’t keep me up all night or something! Also we’re going to see Guardians of the Galaxy and having a dinner party at a friends house on Sunday so it’s going to be a busy one. Next weekend I take my A2 Estonian exam (the official one) so it’s going to be a super fun weekend and a study hard week.
