Wow. Last week went kaboom, didn't it? I think my goal this week is to have no more than three changes to the menu I make!
A. suggested last night that he may be back early from his trip, but I have no firm details on that. This made it sort of difficult to plan this week's menu, but this week's menu was a bear to wrestle with anyway. I've been thinking about changing a few of our eating habits (read that prices are rising again and I refuse to pay some them, my food budget is already way too high), so there's a lot of new and "weird" things being cooked this week. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
K. has a grade level music performance this Tuesday so we have another "quick night" where we have just a few hours between her getting off the bus and us having to be at school for an event.
And I think I'm teetering on the edge of being sick. I thought the way I felt Saturday was just punishment for the McDonald's I had Friday night, but nope. It carried into Sunday and this morning - while not as bad - is bad, too. I slept most of the weekend (K. did a fantastic job of taking care of me) and I foresee a great deal of ginger tea in my immediate future.
Also, it's odd to me that I'm 37 years old and don't know how to make any sort of beans from scratch, using dried beans. It should be an interesting week, indeed.

Thanks for that ginger pork recipe! It looks great.
Great menu, the ginger pork recipe looks yummy.
LOL you're so funny...No Grilled Cheese Sandwiches for this week. I've planned a recipe and found that I'm missing a key ingredient and just scratched. Ugh!
Wish your little one best wishes on her recital. It's that time of year, isn't it?
