Day 5, Week 2

Breakfast:  Cracked wheat cereal with the fixings, except there were only four bowls (one cup of cracked wheat can't feed all five of us) so Phyllis had rice cereal - we had rice leftover from last night. When I refer to rice it is brown.  Then Dai  had canned apricots and Phyllis ate a pint of home made applesauce.  Jason had coffee and I had Roma with non-dairy creamer.  I need Roma but payday is four days away but if I run out I can drink tea.

Lunch: The girls got bread from church.  Dai had rice and gravy and meatballs.  Jason, Phyllis, Cressida and I had salad.    I also mashed the pumpkin with butter and salt and pepper.  Jason said the flavor was ok, but he really didn't like something.  I think maybe the texture?  So I made pumpkin pancakes out of them and they seem good with ketchup.  Course, they will be cold by the time dinner rolls around.

Dinner: Corn, frozen - the last of that.  I do a lot of fresh veggies, but like to have frozen on hand for soups or for in a pinch.  So, I added that to the list to buy on Wednesday - which is really Thursday because Wednesday I have school and then babysit Gabriela Castro.  Also spaghetti.  I sauteed the rest of the mushrooms and added some sliced garlic.  To that I added a can of spaghetti sauce and some red chili flakes, basil and oregano.
