Breakfast: Jason shared his cold cereal with Cress. He had less than a bowl left for himself but he will get more at work I am certain - after he drops the car off at the shop. Dai and Phyllis had oatmeal. I had cold cereal after they left.
When Phyllis came out this morning, she asked, "What's for breakfast?" and I replied "Oatmeal." She asked if that was in both pans on the stove.
No - one was potato, garbanzo and corn soup. I think the girls liked having warm soup after the pool yesterday (the sandwich was before swim.) It is a little more peppery this time. I took some to Heather and she liked it but she had never seen the black garbanzo beans before. She thinks her daughter, Alex, probably thought they were black beans. I told her that I told Alex what they were, but maybe.
Lunch: peanut butter sandwiches for Cressida, Phyllis and Jason with regular produce. Phyllis is even having honey on them recently. Odd for her. And she had an orange yesterday and is having one today, also odd for her. Dai is having oatmeal for lunch. I love that she is excited about that and it makes my life easy.
Dinner: PBJ sandwiches for the girls before swim. Jason has a burritos with fresh gringa beans. I had potato soup. Phyllis had soup.
Prep Ahead: I also started gringa beans this morning - and am adding the leftover london broil, finely diced - and added some fresh tomatoes that were getting older, some frozen corn and the remainder of the cilantro. I like using up the bits and pieces. This will be good for jason who prefers burritos but will also help me because we won't go through as much bread - burritos are reasonable dinners, too, because they are quick and portable like sandwiches.
I also made a cream cheese bread for afterschool snack. It didn't blend up quite right but the fam still ate half a loaf for after school snack. Jason said he thought I should try it again because it was good - so I did and added a little extra water partway through after checking on it and seeing it looking lumpy still even though I brought the cheese to room temperature. Maybe I should use half a cup of milk rather than the thir it calls for in the future? This is from one of the bread machine books Shellie gave me way back in 2003 - and, yes, I used the bread maker.
I also made two loaves of sandwich bread using our regular recipe. I started it here and it did its first rise here, then I took it to Heather Castro's where I had to go for an Activity Days planning meeting, to finish it. Jason sliced and froze them this evening.
I am also making white bean and ham soup. My family has never had that before but I think it will be well received. I think if everyone has soup and sandwiches, we will go through lot of soup. Otherwise our fridge will be overly full for a bit.
