Breakfast: Jason, Cress and Phyllis had breakfast burritos (I am out of eggs!!) and Dai and I had fried eggs and toast. We also had canned apricots with breakfast.
Lunch: I had a church bagel with cream cheese, tomatoes and capers. Dai had a tomato sandwich on her church bread. Phyllis had toast with peanut butter.
Dinner: Swedish meatballs and turkey gravy. It has allspice and nutmeg in it. I only had whole allspice so Phyllis used a pestle and mortar to grind it for me. The recipe is the first meatball recipe Jason has actually liked - the others were fine, but this he liked quite well. It has a recipe for gravy, but part of why I made the meatballs was specifically to use up a turkey gravy packet that Steve Arnold, the neighbor whose friend's wife died, gave me. Maybe next time I will try the gravy - but it won't be anytime soon since I am out of hamburger. I think the split cow part included 35 pounds of ground meat and today we ate the last two. Phyllis had thirds on the meatballs and only left four behind so that she could take them for lunch tomorrow. We also had brown rice. Daitarih said she preferred brown rice to white. I told how when I first decided that our family should eat brown rice that I actually had to not get white at all. That sparked an interesting conversation. Cressida said born proteins were healthier than white. I asked where she got that because I was pretty sure she meant brown carbs (an indication of whole grains but not a guarantee) versus white carbs but she was sure it was protein. Cress asked if vegetables were so good for us why didn't we eat them all the time. Then we talked about how protein is how we and our brains grow and that we need it and meat is just an easy and complete protein. Then we talked about meat versus all veggies and vegetarianism and why some people choose that and how those people can still get proteins. We also had baked CSA sweet dumpling squash with butter and sugar in them. Dai didn't like it and she usually loves squash. Phyllis made us a green salad using a head of romaine, a CSA sweet pepper and some CSA tomatoes. We had apple cider with dinner, too, since Jason had bought two quarts for my green bean recipe the other day and we only needed 1 or 2 tablespoons.

Prep ahead: Dai made some cookies from a picture we had seen. It starts with crescent roll dough. We had a little extra so I made two and Jason and I ate them with butter and jelly. These cookies aren't all that - so I wouldn't remake them. Jason made the CSA chard, too.
