Week 18, Day 7

Breakfast: burritos for Jason and the girls

Lunch: PBJ's with baby bananas, cucumbers and jicama.  I did lunches entirely today so they are very uniform.

Dinner: beefs spare and baby back ribs, artichokes for Phyllis and Cress who hadn't already eaten theirs, leftover creamed leeks.  Dai wasn't thrilled about having to have leeks to get dessert (watermelon) but when she tried them she liked them after all.  When we have steak, etc. we put A-1 and BBQ sauce on the table.  Dai is the only one who wants the BBQ sauce.  For these ribs, since not Jason's favorite, I bought Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce since it supposed to be the best.  Just original.  Jason thought it was pretty good and he doesn't like ribs or BBQ sauce terribly so that is saying something.  Dai didn't like the BBQ sauce, so she had leftover New York Steak.

Week 18, Day 6

Breakfast: breakfast burritos

Lunch: PBJ sandwiches with produce for everyone - I finally peeled and cut up some jicama and cucumbers for the girls' lunches.

Dinner: We had the elders for dinner.  We reheated the pinto bean soup and served it with asparagus on the side and chips to go on top or in the soup.  That soup needs more heat.  I may add cumin next time.

Week 18, Day 5

FAST SUNDAY

Jason and Cressida had burritos for breakfast.  Cressida had her church bread toasted with peanut butter and honey and an apple, but she only ate the apple - Jason ate the rest, plus his burrito.

Dinner: we made taco beans, diced tomatoes and took a canned of mandarin oranges to Heather Castro's home.  She made pork for tacos and did lettuce and cheese and tortillas (flour or corn).  Jenn Zhang brought sour cream and avocados.  Heather used our oranges and her apples, watermelon and grapes to make a fruit salad.  Not only tasty food, but good company.

Phyllis also brought her loaf of Sunday bread and we had balsamic and oil to dip it in.

Week 18, Day 4

Breakfast: breakfast burritos (we are out of oatmeal)

Lunch: bean burritos

Dinner: 1.25 lbs. of New York steak, but it was two steaks so we fried it and then sliced it - we ended up having leftovers, if you can believe that.  Jason says he feels like he is getting better at mea.  We also had steamed zucchini and instant mashed potatoes - and yes, my kids asked if they were real or not this time, too

Week 18, Day 3

Breakfast: Jason made burritos for us

Lunch: Phyllis took pinto bean soup, Cress had PBJ (well, honey not jelly) and Dai got to eat at Great America for her field trip with GATE.  Such a bummer they cut GATE to only be fifth and sixth because otherwise Phyllis would be testing right now for next year

Dinner: Jason made the girls and he burritos because I stuck around at swim to talk to Heather a bit and they all left without me because I was taking so long.  He made me an egg sandwich plus I had radishes.  We forgot our CSA though yesterday - pretty bummed about that.

Week 18, day 2

Breakfast: leftover oatmeal for Dai, Phyllis fired herself two eggs and had toast, Cressida had a burritos as did I

Lunch: white bean and ham soup for Dai and Phyllis, PBJ for Cress.  I love when they like a sop enough to ask for it for lunch.  Cress didn't really choose, we do hers so early.

Dinner: I made a pinto bean soup which seem to have been well received, but it was all scattered due to swim again.
