Breakfast: We had two fried eggs each. Cressida likes them over hard. Dai and I like them over medium. Usually Phyllis also does over hard but today she asked if she could have one of each, so I did that. The girls had the last of the church baguettes for toast with breakfast and I had the last piece of homemade bread for the my toast. I also had Roma and cream. I love that stuff.
Lunch: Baked ziti. I didn't have fresh basil, so I considered sending Phyllis to the store. She was excited but when she went to get cash out of my wallet, I would have had to take it from the gas money part so I decided to use dried basil. it is okay, but not quite as good. We also had a salad made with CSA lettuce, CSA tomatoes and CSA bell pepper. I sliced the rest of the CSA bell pepper to go with lunch. We also had raspberry iced-tea or water with lunch. Then the girls asked if they could have "some of that tea stuff." At first I thought they meant the iced tea but they meant this Rooibos Vanilla Latte. It is rooibos tea with peach and apple juices and you mix it with an equal amount milk. It is very good. I got it on whim at Ross - Tazo brand. Dai and Cress didn't finish their.
Dinner: Steve Arnold, our next door neighbor, owns a shop where he works on trucks. Some of his customers bring in non-cash goods. One brings in expired snacks like from a vending machine. Steve always lets us pick through and get some. At first I got quite a few, but I found that my girls didn't always like them. Sometimes because they just don't like and maybe sometimes just because it is stale. So, I got less today, but we still got some. We ate a popcorn, a carmel popcorn and a TGIF potato skins thing. We also had ramen - except Dai who detests the stuff and ate leftover baked ziti - all of it! It was maybe two servings I thought, though Jason would have taken it all for a lunch. Cress must have filled up on snacks because she only ate a couple bites of her ramen. Today we ate in the living room so that we could start "Fiddler on the Roof," which is pretty long.
Prep ahead: Phyllis and I made oatmeal cookies, with chocolate chips. It seemed that all the recipes I looked up on line called for quick oats, but good old red and white Betty Crocker cookbook uses rolled oats. We also added chocolate chips. I actually prefer raisins but we don't have that. Pressure cooked the butternut squash but we did not eat it.
