Breakfast: We had oatmeal with dates. Cress loves it but Phyllis detests it so much that she would rather go without breakfast. Dai thinks it is ok, but not her favorite. I think it is fine. I was reading about how much added sugar Americans consume and it is more than 130 pounds per year per person, a third of which comes from soda. That is absurd. I had all the family guess and Jason guessed 20 pounds and thought that was likely way too high. So, I think beginning in January, we will have no sugar on our oatmeal - only dried or fresh fruit with our oatmeal. Today we had no sugar but I think that wasn't the main complaint.
Lunch: The girls all had a tomato sandwich and then Dai and Cress had a second and Phyllis's second was chicken salad. I had a chicken salad sandwich. We all had some summer sausage to finish up the remnant.
Dinner: We had whit bean and kale soup. Not the girls' favorite, so much so that Cressida didn't eat any. We also had Chinese chicken napa cabbage salad. I know these may not seem to match but I had a CSA head of lettuce to use up. It wasn't too big and we have no leftovers. We also had no sesame seeds so we did not have those as called for in the salad.
Prep Ahead: Daitarih pureed her pumpkin in batches. We got at least 32 cups.
