Breakfast: Oatmeal wit hall the fixings - though some girls had golden raising rather then regular. We got them for a greens recipe we used to do quite often. But recently Steve gave me 6 pounds of raisins - I was so excited, until I realized they had all gone bad. So, knowing that they go bad - I let the girls have some golden ones rather than have them go bad.
Lunch: Phyllis and Cress had bread they got at church - though we realize Phyllis likely needs more than that so she won't be able to have just bread again. Dai wasn't able to get bread for herself becuase she had picked up a baguette for me and was told only one (Phyllis still managed to get three somehow) so I made her my eggs on cheese on pan toasted baguette which was why I wanted the baguette. She had cream cheese and I had goat cheese. We also put slices of tomato in the cheese under the egg - so good! Then everyone wanted one but we offered them leftovers - the usual Sunday lunch and they didn't want any so they just ate their bread. Jason had leftover parsnip soup.
Dinner: When the Tervalons had come over the night before, they invited us for the next night. Actually, we kind of invited ourselves. As they were headed out, we said than you again for the brownies and Nicole said they were making cinnamon rolls the next day. I asked, "When should we come then?" Half joking. She said she was also making butternut squash soup in her pressure cooker (she loves it) that she had intended for Saturday except we invited her over so we could come for dinner and cinnamon rolls. I told her we had a London broil marinating and that we would bring that.
So we had her butternut squash soup (had a nice ginger zing) and canned corn and our beef done on the grill. Jason is still learning about grilling so we had to cut off a charred but but thankfully, it wasn't overcooked. Phyllis and Kahlan wolfed down meat. Cress didn't love the soup but she ate it so she could have dessert and actually once salt was added I think it was okay for her except when she got a chunk of ginger. Nicole pointed out it was a warm colors meal - red meat, orange soup, yellow corn.
We needed to do a bit more shopping and Jason did it at Costco after volleyball - he dipped into next week's grocery budget.
Knowing that I will have to write it down does make me think twice about my spending. I have been very diligent about avoiding the hitting the drive through while driving. I also drive less around lunch time these days.
