    Strep as an adult is awful! I hope you get back to full health soon!

    Here’s our menus for this week:

    Smoked gouda and roasted red pepper grilled cheese (Food Network)
    Asian sloppy joes (How Sweet Eats)
    More grilled cheese (Types TBD)-I am trying to work through an overabundance of cheese in the freezer!

    Happy Easter!

    — pork and green veg stir fry, leftover rice
    — beef and cheese empanadas
    — potato soup, brats

    Aw, feel better soon! Strep throat is awful. Lucky you have Cate to take care of you with delicious food. Rest up and get well!Don’t think too much, be optimistic and playing Block Blast will probably help you relieve some stress.

    If you’re looking for a unique game to kill time, try What Beats Rock . I was amazed to find that divine malaise does not beat autoapotheosis. Highly addictive!

    I keep coming back here each week to see if the blog will resume. I miss the inspiration I used to get here from everyone’s menus 🙁

    You should cook and eat nutritious Slither io and low-fat foods instead of eating fast food.

    Finding commonalities between words is the everyday challenge of Connections Game.The goal of the word-forming game Connections Wordle is to create four sets of four words while making no more than four mistakes. Because players need to give serious thought to their connections and choices in the Connections gaming feature, it ups the ante in terms of excitement and strategic thinking.

    Week 787 already! Feeling like I’m battling a tricky level in Geometry Dash with this strep throat. Antibiotics are my power-ups now, finally seeing progress. Huge thanks to Cate for the amazing dinners, definitely a high score there. Hope everyone’s week is less like navigating a difficult Geometry Dash level and more like enjoying a smooth ride.

  16. Glad to hear the antibiotics are working! Cate’s Indian food night sounds delicious, especially the chicken, paneer, peas, and lentils—what a thoughtful way to help during spring break.

  17. Glad to hear the antibiotics are working! Cate’s Indian food night sounds delicious—chicken, paneer, peas, and lentils is an impressive spring-break dinner.

  18. Glad to hear the antibiotics are working! Cate’s Indian food night sounds delicious—chicken, paneer, peas, and lentils is an especially cozy spring-break dinner.

  19. Hope the antibiotics keep working their miracles! I love how you squeezed a full week of dinners out despite strep—tomato soup and grilled cheese on Wednesday sounds perfect. As someone who spends too many evenings online meal planning, it’s handy that I can test my mouse buttons and scroll wheel without installing anything when my middle-click starts acting up mid-recipe search.

  20. This weekly menu looks so warm and comforting! I love how simple and personal the post feels, especially the part about family cooking together.

  21. Glad the antibiotics are working and that Cate stepped in with those delicious Indian meals—chicken, paneer, peas, and lentils sounds like the perfect spring-break dinner lineup!

  22. Hope you’re feeling better soon — adult strep is no joke, but glad the antibiotics kicked in! Cate making dinner two nights in a row during spring break is the best kind of help, and that tomato soup and grilled cheese night sounds perfect. Funny enough, I came across your post while testing my new mouse’s online DPI test during a work break — glad I wandered over, these weekly menus are a great meal-planning resource.

    Having Cate home for spring break and taking over dinner for two nights sounds like excellent timing while you recover from strep. For my weekly menu, I’m planning lentil soup, baked potatoes, and a pasta night with enough leftovers to cover a busy evening. Meal planning also reminds me to leave room for little breaks; I recently came across the name odio el chocolate, which stuck in my head while I was sorting dinner ideas.

    Getting a weekly menu posted while sick is a deceptively useful bit of structure: it gives readers a starting point even when the week is already moving. The note about antibiotics helping also makes the late timing feel human rather than apologetic. A flexible menu can work especially well here—choose a couple of easy fallback dinners, then leave room to swap meals as energy and schedules change. That kind of planning makes recovery days less demanding.
