Week 23, Day 1

Breakfast: cracked wheat but there were complaints - even Dai said it seemed too bready

Lunch:  Cress had a pizza party at school today so no lunch.  Dai had ham and Swiss, carrots, celery and pickles. Phyllis had pickles, carrots and celery and Cobre Valley casserole leftovers.  Jason ate leftovers, I ate leftovers.

Dinner: Sirloin tri tip roast (2.25 pounds so we have lots of leftovers), Chinese chicken napa cabbage salad, fried potatoes.  The younger two girls love the salad - Dai doesn't like it at all but she couldn't say enough good things about the potatoes.

Root beer whirls for dessert again.  But yesterday I used a recipe - 3 cups vanilla ice-cream to 1 cup of root beer.  Today I used the rest of the ice-cream, maybe 4 cups and a full can of root beer (leftover from camping.)  Phyllis likes the extra root beer.

I brought Jason a beer after the kids went to bed last night.  Actually, I had put one in the freezer and two in the fridge since they were all warm.  I set a timer for the one in the freezer and took it to him when it was cold. Tonight he got out his own beer (one of the two I put in yesterday) and I asked, "Does beer make you feel good?  Fell relaxed?"  He said, "It makes me feel loved because my wife bought me beer."  I don't drink and wish he was LDS, too, which would mean he didn't drink, but I do buy him beer for parties and camping and such.  I guess because I usually do it without his asking and I get his preferred beer (New Castle), that makes him think I put his desires ahead of mine.  I am totally speculating - he didn't say that part.

I realized last night that I have come to really like the smell of New Castle.  It never smelled bad - decent for beer - but because it is his beer, I think I particularly like the smell.  I think of him when I smell it.  I think of evenings spent with him because I always get more than is strictly needed for whatever event so he has it for a few days afterwards - depends on how many he consumes each night.
