Breakfast: I had nopales con huevos because I used up all my pre-chopped veggies before I left. The girls had oatmeal. Jason ate cold cereal at work. He still feels pretty sick - he thinks it is allergies.
Lunch: This was kind of weird. We had popcorn and string cheese before we headed out to the library. It was closed because apparently to day is Cesar Chavez Day. So, we decided to go grocery shopping. That took 2.5 hours. By then we just took Phyllis home long enough to change into her MMA clothes and grab a second cheese stick. When we got home, I made crackers with cream cheese and/or summer sausage for the girls. Jason and I had a bit. So, lunch wasn't a precise deal.
Dinner: chef salads - though not traditional. I do chopped up lunch meat and parmesan. On the salad we had radishes, cucumbers, grape tomatoes and green onions from that which we are growing in the window. I also toasted two tablespoons of pine nuts - just enough for the two who want it, I thought. But I still managed to nibble a teaspoon or so. I chopped up measured turkey for Jason and I. I chopped up ham for the girls. Not a single girl ate meat on their salad - so we will use that for omelets tomorrow, I guess. the girls are far more excited about that than they were about it on their salad.
I also grilled an onion and two pounds of asparagus on the George Foreman. What a piece of cake - and such happy children. Cress also had some leftover warmed cooked carrots.
While eating her salad, Cress pulled out a green onion and asked me what it was. I started to tell her and she didn't flip out at all - she was excited to eat the onions we had grown. Most kids don't like raw green onions - Dai says she doesn't pick around them and that they just fall to the side because they are so small - but it isn't uncommon for her to have some left on her plate. Not tonight though.
Prep Ahead: chopped up bell peppers, broccoli and onion for future scrambles
