Can you believe it?! Tomorrow is the last day of this!! It was an interesting experience, but I am glad it is pretty much over. I wonder if I will ever look back and find it fascinating. Or maybe someone 100 years from now, "They ate what?! Who in their right mind would eat that?!" What I am sure of is tat it is a good place to put a recipe that I want to hand on down or to which I want easy access, but I will just put them in my regular blog going forward.
Breakfast: oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins plus your choice of regular or almond milk. Cress prefers almond milk. I think the other two don't much care. I definitely prefer cow milk, but almond is better than soy.
Lunch: Cressida and I had chicken salad. Dai and Phyllis had BLTs. Phyllis had a sliced apple. The rest of us had a mandarin orange. We all had a few Cheez-its. (I am trying to go back to no sugar.) I was planning to have a BLT, also, but I burned the last few pieces of bacon and it was already going to be light on the bacon so I had leftover chicken salad. We used church sourdough bread.
As a kid I remember thinking that people who froze bread were even poorer than we. Now, I love freezing bread. My kids' sandwiches are thawed by lunchtime. If we sandwiches eat at home they are just toasted, either lightly or a lot depending on the kid. Cressida really prefers not toasted. She reminded me, "Mom, next time can you remember I don't like toasted bread for my sandwiches?" I told her it was either toasted or frozen.
I love freezing bread because it lasts forever. Yesterday, Lucky had bread on clearance. I am sure it was close to its expiry date. It was a good brand and cracked wheat or wheat berry and white hamburger buns. We are having hamburger buns tonight since I think they probably need to be used quickly (which means beef two nights in a row plus I plan to do a roast tomorrow!) but I just tossed all the sandwich bread in the freezer and I know it will last until the day that it is pulled out to be used.
Dinner: Hamburgers, pan fried rather than grilled because we still need propane. Beans and cornbread. I tried a different recipe and used bacon fat in it - fresh from lunch. That means you really cut down the salt that goes in the beans, so they were a bit salty. Cress and Phyllis didn't eat theirs. We are letting the rest sit overnight with potatoes to remove the salt so Jason can take them and the rest of the cornbread for lunch tomorrow. We also had canned green beans.
I made it without sugar. I did have four dates after dinner.
