Week 24, Day 7

breakfast: breakfast burritos, using up the last remnants of cooked bacon and sausage and potatoes from camping and a fresh peach for each of the ladies - Jason ate before we got up so I am unsure if he had one or not.

lunch:  Peanut Butter and jelly for three of us, peanut butter and honey for Phyllis, plus apples, peaches, bananas and brownie cupcakes. We all packed a lunch and went to the Morgan Hill Skate Park.  We ate there.

dinner:  beef stroganoff using a canned stroganoff starter, mushrooms and some of the free tri-tip.  Also a salad.  

Week 24, Day 6

breakfast: grits

lunch: turkey sandwiches with watermelon and peaches - I ate Triscuits with goat cheese because the meat was all gone

dinner: leftover tri-tip, BBQ'd chicken, salad and rolls from someone event but they had so much leftovers they were handing it out at the church.  I made pudding and brownies in cup cake papers with two Oreos in it before baking that were stuck together with peanut butter.  Rich.  I ate half and may not have another.

I got extra beef to make stroganoff.  Hope it works.

Prep ahead: cooked some beets, Jason made mashed chard from his Mexican cookbook that Abuela got him for a birthday, but it called for way too much pepper so that is a no go, e will have to toss it.  Also preparing grilled radicchio salad.  Jason also prepared the kale.

Week 24, Day 5

breakfast: the girls finished off the birthday cereal, Jason and I had grits

lunch: sandwiches on either leftover camp bread or church bread.  afterwards we went to the Castro home where they shared banana bread and we shared watermelon.

dinner: hamburgers.  I was craving big fat burgers.  I wanted about a quarter pound but that would mean more than a one pound package of meat. So we thawed two and invited our neighbor, Steve Arnold, over for dinner.  We also had some CSA squash and canned peas.  I think they were an accidental purchase (I thought they were green beans) but we still have to eat them.  

Camping Week 23, Day 6 (dinner) through Week 24, Day 4

Monday, Day 6

Dinner -  burritos with shredded chicken and pinto beans, Sam added a can of refrieds to my beans when it got low and it thickened our sauce nicely

Tuesday, Day 7

breakfast: oatmeal and Captain Crunch - Phyllis's breakfast cereal choice and honeydew

lunch: sandwiches

dinner: spaghetti and meatballs and green beans from a can (we had way too much noodles and meatballs, but we were able to get folks to come eat at least the rest of the meatballs)

Wednesday, Week 24, Day 1

breakfast: eggs, sausage, home fries

lunch: sandwiches

dinner: tri-tip and rib eye - part of the group grill night

Thursday, Day 2

breakfast: french toast (we used Hawaiian bread.  Two loaves wasn't enough and three was too many so we had plenty to share and I went and told folks, and a few came, but we still had some so I put it on a plate with powdered sugar sprinkled on top and walked to the campfire where people took them, and there wasn't even enough to go around) and honeydew

lunch: sandwiches

dinner: this was the group hobo dinner night but Jason doesn't care for hobo dinners so we did a dutch oven meal so that it was prepared in the same area and stuff.  It was garbanzos, peppers, cannellini beans, sausage.  Was good and the extra was quickly consumed by other campers.

Friday, Day 3

breakfast: breakfast burritos with sausage, bacon, home fries, cheese and eggs and honeydew

lunch: sandwiches

dinner: camp pizza.  First time for this and it came out pretty well.  We used a Boboli crust to begin with.  We tucked it in to the 12 inch cast iron pan which gave it a nice little lip.  We added grilled onions and mild Italian sausage.  Then we topped it with  mix of fontina, provolone and Parmesan and tented it with tinfoil to melt the cheese.  They got a little burned but we learned and definitely reduced burnage on the second one.

Saturday, Day 4
breakfast: pancakes

lunch: McD's en route.  Because Jason and the girls had all gotten up to go skiing while I made pancakes and stuff.  So, I ate much earlier than they did.  I was starving.  Just before we exited, Cress said she was feeling a bit carsick.  Uncle Sam (who also camped with us) said we were just about to stop for lunch so that was okay.  As soon as she got out she threw up everywhere!  Talk about perfect timing.  We also stopped later at Nation's for milkshakes.

dinner: watermelon (we took it camping but never ate it) and burritos with the leftover beans from camping.

Week 23, Day 6

breakfast: fried eggs for Dai, egg sandwich for Phyllis and I and Jason and Cressida had PBJ's (limitd food choices due to camping)
