Fast Sunday
Breakfast: Gillian McWilliams, who spent the night, and Cressida and Jason had oatmeal.
Lunch: Cressida, Jason and Gillian had bean burritos. I am so grateful that we usually have beans on hand.
Dinner: black bean layers. When we broke our fast, Dai and Phyllis had a bean burrito and a piece of toast from whatever their church bread was -Dai got a seed covered baguette and Phyllis got a raisin bagel. Phyllis had cream cheese on hers. They also had s bean burrito. Then we started making sugar cookies. I started black beans (we found some in the bucket into which we had been going to put the pinto beans) and rice w little after four, when we started the cookies. So dinner wasn't full easy until 7. It could have been ready by 6:30 but we were frosting cookies when the rice got done so we didn't stop to finish the beans right away. After I pressure cook the beans, I add all the spices and onions and such and set it for a stew cycle in the pressure cooker. So, Dai and Phyllis weren't hungry. Only Jason, cress and I ate. We had black bean layers. We used these eggs that Gillian's mom gave us. They had such lovely orange yolks! Store bought ones are more yellow than orange.
Prep ahead: We made sugar cookies and frosted them. It is Jenn Zhang's sugar cookie and cream cheese frosting recipe. We delivered 4 each to the following families: Kaitlin Schwab's family, Sister Marr (Phyllis's Primary teacher), Sister Rocks (cressida's Primary teacher), and Sister Rodriguez ( dai's Primary teacher.) After we got home and put the kids to bed, I made a batch of dark chocolate fudge. It is firmer than I would expect but pretty tasty. Yes, I ate some sugar cookies and fudge. I have a couple oyher recipes that I want to try: one that uses chocolate pudding and another than uses marshmallow cream.
