A total side effect of keeping this is the seeming nearness of the end of the year - 52 weeks when we are about done with 39!
Breakfast: canned apricots and bagels with cream cheese. I really need to get eggs and milk.
Lunch: Jason made me a ham sandwich on sliced sourdough from the church. It is the first time I have eaten a made-on-frozen-bread sandwich. Jason had told me that he read about it and that it would thaw by lunch but I had never actually eaten one that way. Today I did and it was thawed and good. I also put arugula and tomatoes on it - man - I love arugula! Cressida had a ham san ciwh made with yesterday's church roll, an apple, a carrot and pickles. Phyllis had leftover meatballs, rice and gravy, three apples and half a CSA sweet pepper. She ate her rice and meatballs at brunch so she also ate a burrito, cookies and three chocolate milks from the tray for lunch. Dai had a tomato sandwich, half a CSA sweet pepper, an apple and a carrot. We also all had one of the cookies Dai made.
After school snack: microwave popcorn
Dinner: I saw some old frozen chicken pieces in the freezer yesterday and decided to try to use them today. My cupboards are a little bare so it wasn't as easy as I had hoped. I kind of stir-fried the chicken, some frozen but cooked bacon, some corn and some green onions with rice. It was okay but not great. Cress didn't finish. Dai did and Phyllis said she liked it but she had an apple, cheese stick and ham sandwich for early dinner since she has volleyball and I wasn't done with the rice. She only got a taste before leaving for volleyball. I took the chicken out of the remainders and put it in the fridge.
Last night we used the last of our hamburger from our cow purchase and counted up that we have two or three roasts and some ribs left only. Elise was here when I picked it up. When was that - in January? Two years ago maybe? I just looked it up and I picked up our first one December 5, 2013. I will pick up our next December 3, 2014. Only a year - I would have thought longer.
