Week 20, Day 7 - Camp shop

Breakfast: Cress had oatmeal, Phyllis and I had grits and Dai fried herself eggs and then had apricots, too.

Lunch: PBJ with honey rather than jelly for Cress plus carrots and celery.  Phyllis and Dai both had soup and a roll and celery and carrots.  Phyllis also had pickles and Dai had beets.  I had a BLT using the leftover two slices of bacon from Sunday (Cress didn't eat hers - she doesn't like bacon.)

Dinner: chicken breasts grilled on the george forman - three of them and then cut into strips.  Basic seasoning - salt and pepper and paprika.  A box of Noodle Roni.  To that, when it was done and still thin, I added some leftover spaghetti noodles.  Parmesan as an option of course.  Except this wasn't really enough to feed five, so Jason had a burrito and some cottage cheese.  We have all been enjoying nectarines today, too, and had those for dessert.  Dai came home from swim hungry so she is having a leftover roll.  They pretty much need to go - not as good a fresh.

Prep ahead: Made gringa beans for camping.  One pound done and another started in the pressure cooker.  Bread dough started.
