Week 12, Day 1

Breakfast: Dai and Phyllis had oatmeal and Cressida had a breakfast burrito and I had a scramble.  Eating all together would be nice, but in the mornings, it is hard.  Cress has to leave between 7:10 and 7:15.  The older two don't even get up until 7.  I have to drive the carpool to San Martin on M, T, W mornings.  I do not get back until after 8 and the other two need to leave by about 8:35.  I explain this because I realize that I regularly say who had what but I am not the kind of mom who does custom orders.

Lunches:  Cress and Phyllis have peanut butter on those "healthy" crackers.  Dai had a peanut butter sandwich.  She was surprised because she thought we didn't have bread which wasn't exactly right, we didn't have much and often said, we need to make bread - that is true.

Dai asked if we could make rainbow bread on Sunday, but we didn't.  I told her we could do it Wednesday or something, but then I realized she won't be here this evening - so I am unsure.  But even if I make it on my own, I think I will do rainbow just for fun.  Or maybe one of the shapes inside.

I had grilled chicken on salad (with parmesan and my white dressing) and Jason had burritos.

Dinner: Grilled chicken on salad.  We had it with parmesan and each could choose their own dressing.

Prep ahead:
I did make rainbow bread, but learned a couple things.  I remembered how hard it is to get the bread to take color.  Also, the extra process of kneading in the coloring probably means I should have kneaded it less time in the mixer - didn't seems quite as soft when it came out.  We haven't cut it yet, though so we shall see.
