Breakfast: bagels and cream cheese and canned apricots
Lunch: the girls had ham and lettuce sandwiches. Now they also all like mustard, so that is nice - it used to be that one, I think Phyllis?, didn't. Cress had half a CSA sweet pepper, a CSA apple and pickles. Dai had celery with peanut butter for dipping, half a CSA sweet pepper and a CSA apple. Phyllis had pickles, carrots and a CSA apple and the leftovers from last night. Jason to a PBJ and carrot sticks - three carrots worth (his usual) and two CSA apples.
After school snack: bananas and corn dogs
Dinner: a crock pot pot roast. Usually I do a simpler one on the stove top but because I couldn't be home to babysit it I tried this. The meat was great - although not the cut I had been expecting but the gravy had a little much seasoning for my taste - so that you couldn't really enjoy the carrot flavor, for example.
Prep ahead: I made gringa beans. Dai was typing when it started and she said, 'I love that smell." I asked if she knew what it was and she did not. I don't think of her as particularly loving bean burritos, but I guess the smell is still comforting and familiar. She doesn't hate burritos, she just does not love them. I had used up our wheat bread from the freezer so I am starting more of that, too. The yeast didn't seem to activate as fully but it came out fine.
