breakfast: cream of wheat - Dai brought some home from her camping trip since they bought a whole box just for their trip. He bought regular - my mom always bought the quick cooking or instant. But we spend five minutes cooking oatmeal so 2.5 for another cereal seems very reasonable - just the way one grows up with only one kind and never thinks about it.
Lunch: cherries, peaches and tomato sandwiches on Cressida's church sourdough. We had bagged it and saved it.
Dinner: Burritos again. The beans are almost gone, too! There is enough for Jason's lunch tomorrow but I am not sure beyond that. This batch I intentionally made a little spicier. Last night the girls asked for milk to drink with dinner. Dai said, "I think I know why milk helps with the spicy. Spicy is an acid and ilk is a base so it cancels out the spicy." Jason and I then told her spicy is a base, not an acid and that we were pretty sure milk was neutral pH. I told her most things we drink are fairly neutral pH, but there is a range. Phyllis then pointed out that sodas are slightly acidic. Jason then asked, "It would make sense it would be neutral because what is milk's real purpose?" A moment of silence and then Dai, said "Cheese!" We had a good laugh and then Phyllis said for calves.
* Update later: Milk is actually slightly acidic (6.8 pH) which totally make sense why it helps with spicy foods, which are bases. However, at 6.8 it is practically neutral - water being the neutral standard at 7 pH. Kind of cool what kids drive you to learn, right?
