Week 1, Day 2

Breakfast: Cracked Wheat cereal with milk and brown sugar and raising and bananas an sauteed mushrooms

I grind the wheat myself - made way too much this time but a few days ago it was too little.  Ach so! I had bananas and had some mushrooms that I was afraid would go bad if we didn't get to them so I sauteed them.  Phyllis,Cress and I ate those.  Cress woke late so she didn't have a banana.  Jason had coffee and I had Roma with cream.  

Lunch: We had scrambled egg tacos - two each, I think.  The girls say that was their idea since I was serving warmed up corn tortillas and scrambled eggs.  They did ask for cheese, but really?  What e;se you gonna do with a tortilla and eggs?  Each girl also had a string cheese.  

For lunch Jason took leftover gringa beans and tortillas.  I guess two people at his work have commented on his near professional burritos wrapping skills.  

Dinner: Bean burritos, a salad made with lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes. toasted pine nuts for the salad (on the side) and homemade balsamic vinaigrette, except Dai who had store bought buffalo ranch from ages ago.  We also had iced-tea made with a loose-leaf herbal blend Nicole Tervalon gave us and sealed in teabags Lisa Hansen gave me for Christmas.  

Phyllis asked, as I was preparing to toast the pine nuts, if they could be eaten untoasted.  I said, "Yes, but they aren't as good" and she and Cress tried one - neither liked it.  After Phyllis had a big salad she asked if she could have some plain toasted pine nuts.  Since we said no, she had another big salad with nuts.  Then I divided the rest up between Cress, Phyllis and me before clearing the table.

We had bought ice-cream yesterday for after our hike, but never got to it, so we had milkshakes for dessert.  The girls had chocolate, I had blueberry (made with frozen blueberries that Tess Douglas gave us when she moved), and Jason had mint chip (made with leftover slow churn ice-cream Elise left behind when she was here in the first part of December).  Dai also made chocolate chip cookies today because she was looking for something to do.  We gave 10 to the Castros.
