Another menu....

Monday - Pork Stir Fry
Tuesday - R has a dinner meeting so whatever I find
Wednesday - Chicken Breast, veggies, baked potato
Thursday - Broccoli Quiche (I really want this but may have to venture to make myself) - go ahead!
Friday - Pizza
Saturday - Steak, potato (not sure how fixed yet), salad
Sunday - Something on the grill

Went for a ride yesterday and we did about 10 miles, K & I - the others did about 12 - 12.5. It was windy - so we rode into the wind and had it more or less at our backs on the return.

BLT's for lunch with pasta and potato salad - R made lunch with K help. The other mom's didn't do much but laze around. First mother's day for K, she and R watched Mac while we rode. She has so much fun with her. They went for a walk and took the dog, I'm sure they looked like the new little family; little do people know that she really will have a baby this time next year. I can't hardly wait to watch them in action!

They went back to C-bus fairly early - not as early as I thought - but too much for K as she got sick when she got home. I hope this ends soon for her, I feel so bad! She has a little belly, I can see it, no one else would that doesn't know her. Date for the shower picked - October 31st - her lil punkin shower! Ha!

No cook --

The cook is gone for the week so no menu here - I'll eat what I feel like if I feel like! Everyone is gone or going to be gone this week. R to NJ; J/K to Baltimore (so proud); G/J to 2nd home - so I will be hangin' alone except for the dogs and little miss Mac later in the week. We went to do a little shopping today, the Mac and I, and stopped to see Cindy too. J/K worked today so I had my normal Monday best job of my life day. Mac will be with Nana till Wednesday night or Thursday morning. R home Thursday night so he will get to see her and hang for a little while. Yes, no dinner on Thursday planned either as R is home late.

Planted pansies yesterday and can't wait to see if they grow in the heat. The front flower bed gets so hot. Not much has worked out there even with the sprinklers running 2x a day.

I can't wait to hopefully see pics this week of the newest member of the family, Kirby - that is exciting. It is the middle child's bday on Thursday and she gets a special gift of seeing her baby. What better gift could you possibly ask for???? R's bday is next week so he gets his gift a little early.

Guess that is all for now - take care and have a great week. If you get a chance to look at kitchens on a blog visit here, http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/. I had so much fun looking, admiring, finding light fixtures that look good, etc.

Things change

So, things have changed on the menu for the week - R cannot eat but soft foods until Saturday. Yesterday was liquid and today is better, no meat, fruit or veggies. No fiber. So no oatmeal the breakfast of choice. Too many cuts inside that need to heal first. But overall he did well - slept the day away and then couldn't get to sleep last night. Today will be better.

Tomorrow is the balloon fest at UT, getting excited to take lil Mac. She was over last night and is just the cutest lil thing. She is laughing out loud a little more too which makes it too funny to watch her. Waiting on her this morning. The day is supposed to be chilly and wet so it will be an inside day for us.

Tough Menu - but a cutie too!

This will be tough this week because R is having a procedure that will keep him tied to the latrine.

Monday - grilled cheese for L, R is clear liquids and fleet
Tuesday - fried egg sandwich or something similar
Wednesday - solid food for R finally - Chicken, chunk potato, brussel sprouts
Thursday - beef roast, broccoli, salad
Friday - stir fry with leftover beef
Saturday - heading south
Sunday - returning from south or cookout

Thursday calls for hot air balloons to arrive at UT; going to try to take the little Mac and walk her around and watch the balloons. Should be colorful and keep her attention for a bit, plus being outside is one of her favorite things. She is getting so big!

Earth Day

Happy Earth Day to all, here's to hoping all of us find a way to help the environment today and to keep it in our habits going forward. Use reusable grocery bags for everything - easy change! Done! Recycle cans, water bottles (use a reusable water bottle if you can), baby food jars, etc. Done! Compost - I'm thinking about this, but either I don't know much or it just kind of grosses me out. Use cloth rags not paper towels (or if R has his way use microfiber) - do pretty well with this but have to get better. Use cloth napkins - Done!

What else could I do? Have to think about this.

Menu

We are home from Columbus and have to find things to eat today since we tried to clear the fridge before we set out for a "too short" weekend. We were able to ride bikes for about 45 min to an hour on Saturday with K. I don't think we were in the best of neighborhoods since most of the homes were boarded up, but in staying together we were ok. A funny part of the ride was when we went down a hill that looked like new pavement and it turned to go under a bridge we didn't realize it ended on the other side of the bridge and nearly had a pile up of the three of us because we were going so fast from coming down the hill! It was funny, but we also had to go back up that hill without any previous riding time to get some speed.

Monday - Spaghetti, sweet cream biscuits, salad
Tuesday - Sloppy joes, cottage cheese, chips
Wednesday - Chicken Breast, Rice, salad
Thursday - Bike ride first(supposed to be beautiful) Grilled cheese
Friday - Steak on the grill, baked potato, corn
Saturday - possibly to Columbus again
Sunday - ????

Have little Mac today and she is sleeping now but for most of the morning she was cruising around and getting into anything she could to keep herself busy. She is getting so big and I just love her so much. Happy Birthday to Lissie today!

It's Monday!

Great news over the weekend but will have to wait to share. Easter dinner was delicious, ham, pork loin, cheesy potatoes, veggies, salad, rolls/bread. Thanks goes to all the cooks: Ray, Ray and Becky. Mmmmmm, good. Easter morning brought baked french toast - odd texture at first and the fam not fans, it is growing on me so I am eating leftovers.

Menu for this week:
Monday - Ham and cheesy potato mix, salad
Tuesday - BBQ pork, salad - may take bike to Columbus for Kelsey
Wednesday - Salmon, rice, salad
Thursday - Homemade Pizza
Friday - dinner with friends, chicken salads; and Young "Frankenschtein" - bike ride first we hope
Saturday - Columbus for a softball tournament, bike ride, and maybe a cookout with hamburgers, etc.
Sunday - depends on time of arrival home

Bike rides throughout the week as it is supposed to be some warmer weather. Got to get in the butt time.

Patooty will be here Tuesday and Thursday this week. If there is sunshine we will be outside for a bit.
