We went to watch DS in an amateur improv performance tonight, then stopped for pizza on the way back.

We had dinner at Captain Cooks (Thai Coconut meatballs and Superfoods salad.) Always a favorite meal. Nothing appealed to us for dessert there so we went to Scat Cats for beignets afterwards.

Today was our pool day. We each got a steak quesadilla with a side of potato wedges from the pool bar for lunch. For dinner, we went to 'Ohana! We finished all of the wings and noodles, and very nearly finished all of the coconut pineapple bread pudding.

We order from Doordash a lot, when we've been driving all day & are too tired to go out to eat. It's really easy. You definitely should to give it a try. Lunch is where I struggle, when we're driving. We usually want to get the quickest option available, so we can get to our destination ASAP. I'd love some tips for more healthy/ low calorie fast food or fast casual options that I can find in most areas.

I don't know if you're interested in going through the effort, but we take a cooler on the road. I try to always have stuff to make a turkey sandwich that we can stop at a rest area & put together, if necessary. (turkey, cheese, lettuce, bread & condiments) We also travel with fruit & DH likes to have chips available. Like you, we usually carry sandwich cracker multiple packs for desperate times. Babybel cheese is also good for a quick snack to tide you over. I like to combine one of those with half a green apple or plum for a more sustantial snack. I also carry my breakfast with me for convenience.

I think I just had a brain-cramp this weekend and didn't prep well. DD takes bagged salad and yogurt when we travel; she'll eat an entire bag salad for her lunch. I also had crostini and ricotta in the cooler, which we both enjoy, and some cheese/cracker packets. It's hard to plan when you have to schedule around performance times, dancer is starving but doesn't want to eat a lot before going on stage, and just having, as I said, a brain cramp. I didn't think about fruit (as I don't eat it) and DD brought baby carrots but not enough. I pretty much had DD covered, but myself, not so much. Next week, I'll plan better!

One of the things we do for lunch on road trips is go to a grocery store. Most of the grocery stores in our area have re-instated their hot bars (which were closed during covid) so we can get chicken wings or pieces, mac and cheese, and a variety of hot dishes (or fried things like potato wedges and such). Many also have a salad bar, or at least pre-packed salad options (not the bagged salad, actual individual salads).

Tuesday was another one of those days where the plan went sideways. DD had an upper GI scheduled for 2:15 and of course her hubby was taking her. About 10am we got the panic-message: We forgot to make plans to get the LittleGuy off the bus after school! DH picked him up at 3:30 and brought him back to work to meet me, by which time I was finished and could bring him back to my house, as of COURSE the docs were running a little over 2 hours behind! While I was home, I threw together a fast veggie/bean soup for DD's family so they didn't have to cook at the end of a stressful day. As it wasn't a planned thing, I used whatever I had in the fridge and had just enough to take to them, so DH and I ended up with pizza. This has to stop... individual pizzas here run about $15 and up, and it annoys the daylights out of me to pay that kind of money for PIZZA.

I think tonight we'll have steak. Better go take it out of the freezer!
