Breakfast: Scrambled eggs and tator tots
I love tator tots - even though they are processed I still love them! We used to have them in hot lunches when I was a kid if we got hot lunches - which we didn't always but I think there was a time when we did because we got subsidized lunches. And I think subsidized lunches when I was a kid were much better than what my kids are offered.
Lunch: leftover stroganoff. I cooked new noodles and added a couple dollops of sour cream, some beef bouillon and some Worcestershire sauce to the gravy to make it go a little further. But still, two kids ended up with no gravy - just noodles with butter and Parmesan. I had thought Jason and Phyllis would be home later than they were when planning lunch.
Snack: We went to Cold Stone but they didn't have what I wanted so just the kids got some. The kids shared mint and M&M one and Jason and I were going to share a Banana Split Decision - which is technically off their menu - but they could have rung it up as a special anyway. I was annoyed so we didn't get one. Then I was annoyed watching the kids eat theirs while I had none.
When Cressida and Phyllis realized where we were going, they reminded us that we aren't supposed to spend money on eating out because we are saving for Disneyland. I showed them that I had gift cards and they felt much better - though they called them coupons.
Dinner: Creamy Parsnip Soup made with CSA turnips, leek and celeriac. Was quite tasty. We also had a salad with toasted pine nuts on the side and toast using the bread I made earlier this week. We had Nicole, Noah and Kahlan Tervalon over. Al is in China so he couldn't come. Kahlan is traditionally very picky but she liked the soup - whereas Phyllis and Cress didn't eat theirs. Nicole brought brownies - yum!
