Breakfast: all over the board because Cress left early, Phyllis got distracted with reading and had Panther Patrol this morning (so she has to leave earlier than usual) and Dai spent most of the morning correcting her compare and contrast paragraph because Jason and I didn't have time to review it last night. Jason had a breakfast burrito as did I. I used the tortilla that Jason had smeared with goat cheese and then put in the fridge when I told him I did not need lunch Wednesday. Goat cheese isn't a great cheese for breakfast burritos. Phyllis had a peanut butter bagel while walking to school so that she wouldn't be late. Cress had brown rice for cereal, but the milk had gone bad. Dai had scrambled eggs while she worked. Take a bite, type. Take a bite, type.
Lunch: Dai and Phyllis took leftover cheaty pasta. Cressida had pizza. All three had CSA apple smiles and CSA green beans. Cress and Phyllis also took CSA raspberries. Dai took CSA bell pepper. I had a hot dog at work.
After school snack: cheese sticks
Dinner: Apricot chicken - a recipe I saw once and thought might have potential. Apparently it is an old comfort food/potluck type meal. I expected Jason wouldn't like it but wanted to try it anyway. It called for chicken thighs but I mistakenly got boneless skinless thighs and that was not what was called for. I reheated brown rice and made a salad with CSA sweet peppers, CSA tomatoes, CSA lettuce and a cucumber. I also made a green bean recipe. It had onions, CSA apples and CSA green beans and was flavored with maple syrup and apple cider. Dai was not a fan of the chicken or the beans. Phyllis and Cressida really liked the chicken. Phyllis asked Jason if he liked it and he replied, "It's okay." She interpreted that to mean he didn't like it, and he reiterated that it was okay. He thought the beans were too fruity. At the end, he said that he thought dinner was good. I said, "Except the chicken and the beans, so then...the salad?" He said, "Overall, (big hand motion to encompass the table,) it was good." It was nice to have a real meal and all of us here - I think that was the best part. The food was okay, otherwise. With him working Monday and Wednesday evenings and me running around like a crazy person on Tuesday and Thursday, we don't get to eat together really often. But only a few more weeks of volleyball and Tuesday and Thursday craziness.
