breakfast: oatmeal with all the fixings. We have almond milk in the house because Jason seems to have more acne when he drinks milk. But, Cress prefers it to milk, too, so she gets that.
Lunch: top ramen with strawberries (the girls asked and I was feeling uber-lazy)
Dinner: grilled zucchini and grilled brats and hot links. The brats are not much more exciting than hot dogs so we served them on a piece of bread with mustard. When we were kids that was what we did because bread was cheaper than buns.
I also made apricot cobbler tonight. My mom made the kind where you put batter in the melted butter and then dump fruit on top of that. Jason's mom made the kind that is a bottomless pie. There is also another variety that puts biscuits on top. I guess there is quite a bit out there about buckles, crumbles, and cobblers. And, in fact, when Dai saw it she said, "I don't recognize that. It isn't like Heather (Castro) makes it." But it is the way my mom made it and I love it (I actually called her several years ago to get it for my own book). She always made it using home canned pechs and i am using home canned apricots - so we shall see how that goes. Seeing it come out of the oven all warm makes me wish we had vanilla ice-cream.
Prep ahead: used last night's black beans to make beans for black bean layers. It used to be Dai's favorite dinner so I told her and Cressida cheered. When I asked if that was her or Dai she said her "because I like them, too"
