Week 16, Day 7

Breakfast: oatmeal, but we emptied the last of the bag into our canister from the freezer yesterday - need to buy more

Lunch: Jason took a burrito with taco beans and a salad, Cress and Phyllis have a turkey sandwich with a mandarin, an apple and a CSA carrot, Daitarih has a PBJ with the same produce.  I ate fast food that I grabbed on my way to work with only about 15 minutes to spare to eat it at work - because I got my nails done.  (PS - got them longer than usual - will probably not do again.  Go back to short.)  Yes, I had salad in the fridge but not time to go home and get it before going to work.

As a side note, Sue Albertson, one of the yard duties asked, "Are you eating junk food?"  When I replied yes, she said she had never seen me do that before - which isn't strictly true, of course.  But it makes you think - whether it is food, honesty, modesty, etc.  - people are watching!!

Dinner - chicken taco salad.  Seriously I love meal salads.  So glad my kids do, too.

I made a layered taco salad.  Lettuce, olives, chicken, tomatoes, corn, cheese, repeat.  Then Jason, Phyllis and Cress all asked, "Where are the beans?"  But it was one at a time over half an hour or so.  Then Phyllis asked, "Why are you so stressed?"  I snapped, "Because everyone keeps asking about the beans instead of just trying what I have provided.  Have a little faith that I am not feeding you only salad."

Prep ahead: bread - I have put it off long enough.  I really like that recipe.
