The original plan for dinner tonight was the tilapia with polenta and broccoli. However, for the second time in three days the power went out at about 5:45 pm. The text I received said it should be back on by 10:30 pm. Although we talked about going to get some sort of take-out, I was hoping that it might come back on in an hour or so since that is what happened two days ago. Luckily power was restored by 7 pm but at that point we didn’t want to start cooking polenta with all its stirring.

We settled on cooking the already defrosted fish, making a salad kit, and heating a cup of microwaveable rice with red quinoa. It was not quite what I had anticipated but tasty nonetheless and ready in about 20 minutes.
