Last week, we had an Easter Feast. You always forget the major amounts of leftovers from Easter. So, we haven't made a lot of the food scheduled for post Easter feast. We didn't even attempt to eat dinner on Sunday night, much less prepare it.
And I was gone both Monday and Tuesday evenings. Which meant that my people were even happier than I would have been with the smorgasbord of leftovers in the fridge.
So, we've shifted most things forward to this week, with a few minor changes.
Thursday 4/12
Lunch - We have a field trip, so we're likely going to bop out a bite.
Supper - Pulled Pork Enchiladas. I'm making this up today. And taking to friends as well. This is breaking all sorts of rules, but they're an understanding bunch and I have pounds and pounds of pulled pork calling to me leftover from a sparsely attended Wednesday Night BBQ at Church last night.
Friday 4/13
Lunch - Sammiches / Mish Mash, as my Mama used to call it. (This is code for find what you can people; find what you can)
Supper - Date Night with the Hubby
Saturday 4/14
Lunch - Baby Shower for a Dear Friend at our house. I'd say what we're eating, but she'll read this, so I best not ruin her surprises. It's a modern classic luncheon. How is that for nonsensical? I'll post pics and a menu next week for posterity. And for her mother, who is a thousand miles away.
Supper - Shower leftovers. It's not fun, but it's the most responsible I can be.
Sunday 4/15
Lunch - Tuna Salad Sandwiches
Supper - Spaghetti and Meatballs
Monday 4/16
Lunch - Leftover Spaghetti for the Grown Ups; Sandwiches for the Small People
Supper - Bean Burritos
Tuesday 4/17
Lunch - Cooking Class with the Kids (They get to get out their kids' cookbooks and go in the pantry and see what we can rustle up. It's a great Math and Reading exercise. Especially when I make Ada Brooks tell me what all the measurements would be in reduced fractions if we were trying to prepare exactly 2/3 of the recipe. What is 2/3 of 1/4 of a cup? Well, 2Tbls, 1tsp, clearly.....)
Supper - Red Beans and Rice
Wednesday 4/18
Lunch - Red Beans and Rice
Supper - Out to Dinner to Celebrate A Successful Score on A Final Latin Exam.
(Hopefully. We won't dangle but rather surprise with this specific carrot. She's worked hard all year, though - and this is the first real, consistent, difficult, academic work she's done, so it will deserve to be celebrated. I do love that kid. If she doesn't work for the next six days, and bombs it, though, we just won't say anything.)
A good week of food and a cheap run to the store considering most of it was bought erroneously and ambitiously last week!
