Week 21, Day 2

Breakfast: brown rice cereal.

Lunch: all the girls had quesadillas.  Jason took leftover chicken from a couple of nights ago for his. He can put it together and nuke it at school.  Cress took dates. apples (quartered for each girl), pickled cucumbers.  Dai got celery, carrots (with buffalo ranch for dip) and apples.  Phyllis pickled cucumbers, apples, pickles.  Sometimes our produce selections are very mundane, but sometimes they are not.

Dinner: The afternoon was crazy.  I left at noon to get Cress from school, but she still hadn't presented her science project, so I waited for that (we still had to leave before all the judges could see her present), and we got the otehr girls from school with the right amount of time (I had left early to get Cress), then off to the dentist.  From there, I dropped Cress at gym with  leotard to change into (she was still 20 minutes late.)  Then I took Dai to gym, got Cress from gym (she put her clothes on over her leotard in the car) and we went to the Open House for her school, where we a little late, but it is a flexible thing so OK.  Jason picked up Dai at 6:30, got ice for camping, got the CSA.  He as driving, I was returning from SMG, and I called to ask if they had eaten and if not should I pick something up?  He said yes.

We went to Nob Hill and got a bag of chicken fingers and bag of grilled chicken.  At home I broke out the potato salad (what was left fit into the designated container and all of wouldn't have), put the chicken in two different bowls and peeled and sliced two cucumbers.  That was dinner.  It was on the table almost as fast as any fast food i could have picked up but I felt much better about that - and the chicken was under $18, which it would have cost at least that much at any fast food place.

We have some leftovers but it is just the right amount to send with the girls for lunch tomorrow - about which they are pleased.

After packing for camping, our fridge looks so bare - but I guess that is better than returning to spoiled food.
