5. Beef in the crock pot

The beef was sold as London Broil. It appears to be Top Round.
Potatoes and carrots in the pot as well.

The little store had no-sugar-added Klondike bars which meet my low sugar diet (sort of), these bars are gone from other stores. One will be my dessert.

=======

The veggies aren't quite done, but FLFC has asked for and received a portion of the beef that he ate with gusto.

6. Didn't feel like cooking

An apple, some liver pate from Trader Joe’s, and a few seeded crackers. I think I’ll call that dinner.
