Breakfast was rice cereal. Dai and Phylis each had two bowls. They don't even know there are kids who wouldn't eat brown rice. I love that. Dai wanted more but there was no more so I offered her canned apricots. Larry cans them every summer. I think he likes doing it so he make a tn and then gives us some. Dai ate four halves and Cressida (who had been asleep while they ate) ate the rest of the quart jar (I tossed the syrup, of course.)
I also started the chicken curry for dinner tonight. In the crock pot. A new recipe. Was supposed to make enough for two gallon Ziploc bags but it was too much for the crock pot so it is all in there now. It called for mangoes, i cut up four. I ate the "extra" part still stuck to the seed of one. Cress ate three and the meat from her own mango. She loves mangoes. She wanted the last mango, too, but I had loaded the knife so I told her to wait. Then it was lunch time. I had nibbled on some dark chocolate pomegranate bits (not good for me who is at 186 today - new low!!) but was hungry. I had puffed cereal for breakfast.
For lunch we had leftover goulash - Cress ate two bites. I offered her leftover beaker soup. I told her she didn't like the goulash last night but she was sure that she like everything but the meat so I let her try it. She ate a couple bites and then decided I was right. We also each had a banana. And a glass of water.
Dai and Phyllis packed lunches today. They took mac-n-cheese muffins and Persian cucumbers. Dai took a tomato and half an apple. (I ate the other half with bites given to the kids with breakfast.) Phyllis took two cucumbers and prunes.
Tonight I am making fresh food (crock pot chicken curry) but I also have leftovers that need to be eaten up - one serving of soup and a full dinner's worth of goulash. It is better with salt and pepper. Should I require them to eat leftovers tonight? Should I pawn those off on Jason for lunch tomorrow? Decisions, decisions. But luckily I can decide that later.
On pinterest I found a pinto bean soup that has great potential. I look forward to that next week.
Chicken curry was bland (no chilies should have been a hint.) Cressida kept asking what soup I was making or saying the soup smelled good. I told her repeatedly it was not soup but she wouldn't give it up. D and P ate it over rice. I sent some with the missionaries (I had signed up to feed them but Jason was not here so they couldn't come in.) Heather had a few bites - and she was right, the carrots were the best part. Will not make that again but I have not entirely given up on crock pot foods - it is so easy. Just these recipes were not good. We had milk and water with dinner.
After school snack was bread and butter. I made white challa on Friday and it is still soft and wonderful today. Cress said, "Can you make this again? Wait, did you buy or make it?"
