Making supper and saving in the process

 I came home from a late appointment tonight, grabbed my prepared last night reincarnation pasta and meatballs, now topped with cheese and popped it into the convection, table top oven for 30 minutes, covered with repurposed foil

 Foil removed, cheese melted a bit more before taking the dish out. Once emptied, the door stayed open to let residual heat into the kitchen.

 Meanwhile, I grabbed a handful of prewashed, organic baby salad greens, topped this with leftover wax and green beans, cut up some grape tomatoes. Home made Dorothy Lynch dressing set out.

 I normally opt for broccoli but had buttered b sprouts that needed to be eaten so I heated those up in the microwave.

 Wood stove is going, so that is what i have been using all day to cook lunch, and heat more and more water for hot tea. tonight's supper was no exception: more tea!

 I selected 2 regular and one decaf lemon "used" tea bags to make 1/2 a pot's worth of tea (about 2 cups, plenty for me, Wed is dinner for one night), before the tea bags will be composted. I am out of fresh lemon, so my lemon herbal and flavored teas have been filling in.



Here's my cobbled together supper, heated/prepared as economically, food and energy wise as possible. Not bad!
