Breakfast: Jason ate at work and we ate lazily over the morning. We had oatmeal and persimmons and some of Aunt Michelle's Christmas bread she sent last night. It is a cranberry, pecan, rye bread. Dai and Cress didn't care for it. Phyllis ate theirs, except the crusts. I put cream cheese on the two toasted slices that I had.
Lunch: chicken salad sandwiches on regular store bought sandwich bread, leftover steamed carrots and/or Brussels sprouts and Cheez-its. The girls had some of their ginger bread houses for dessert and I am having leftover pie.
Dinner: bean burritos. We didn't bother to season and refry the beans even. We just cool them in chicken broth and use whole. That sure makes it easier and faster. We had lettuce and tomaotes and rice, even, if you wanted it.
Prep ahead: we roasted the second pumpkin. Dai looked up different instructions on line. They had us cover it in tinfoil. Let me tell you- don't do it. Toasts muchich more quickly uncovered. We puteed one half of the pumpkin. It is over half a gallon of puree I bet. We put in the salad spinner with a cheese cloth to let the water drank off. We poured off quite a bit of liquid even just in the few hours before we went to bed. We didn't have time to puree both and we don't have two salad spinners to let it drain so we just peeled the other half, cut it up a bit, put it in container and covered in it plastic in the fridge.
