Hey everyone! My only plans today, on my last day off before returning to work, are to go to the grocery store and to vegetate in front of the computer and TV  Luckily, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are without students ... I'll get to meet the staff and try to figure out what I'm doing this year  I posted this meme on FB the other day ... I'm still catching up on all of the shows that were recorded while I was on vacation ... I watch an embarrassing amount of TV   Dh suggested that we get takeout tonight for dinner so that I don't have to cook ... yay  I'm not sure what we will have ... What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? |

Saw that meme and love it! Of course, back in the day we didn't have a bazillion channels, only 3.  Not sure what's for dinner. Maybe some steaks on the grill. The summer party we went to yesterday was awesome ~ I ate grilled chicken, lots of yummy salads and one tiny chocolate chip cookie and my BS was 103 this morning!  |

My first Sunday since going back to work and I'm trying to get back in my cooking mode as I prepare for the week. I made my school lunches, cut up a lot of fruit and veggies, made a couple salads, and made a broccoli/rice/chicken casserole. DH can have that tonight.
Last night we ended up at Burger King of all places. I've been sucked into the marketing buzz around the new Impossible veggie burger. It was pretty tasty. The texture is very much like a hamburger. I eat veggie burgers because I like them...I don't really care if they taste like meat or not. Not something I'll eat every week, but fairly good.

Today is a "down day". DH is still recovering from his procedure so he's down and out. Over done several loads of laundry, cleaned the bathroom, cleaned the basement/dusted, pulled a crap ton of weeds, cleaned up the kitchen. I still need to vacuum and mop the floors but I have to wait until the kids are done working on their summer work.
Eta: dinner is pork tenderloin, potatoes, green beans, onions cooked with bacon and EVOO.

I’m going down to Stanford (about as far away as you can get from my house and still be in the Bay Area) this afternoon to see my nephew’s new play. He’s the writer and producer. He has a day job but does this stuff on the side and is an award-winning short filmmaker.
Dinner will be rechauffe pork roast and mashed potatoes, with new veggies. Tomorrow will be my exciting mac ’n cheese dinner night for three bad little boys. ha haha

I spent a lot of time cooking eggs and rice (not together😊), cleaning and cutting fruit and putting together lunches this morning. I also marinated chicken which I’ll grill later for lunches for the week and dinner tomorrow.
Dinner tonight is going to be grilled steaks with salad. I’ll probably make vegetable fried rice today and dh and the others can eat it tonight as well as tomorrow. I’ve pretty much sworn off white stuff (potatoes, pasta, rice, bread, and sugar) and although I miss it, after just 6 days I feel better.
Yesterday I drove 2 1/2 hours to southern Connecticut to scrapbook with a couple of Peas 😊

Thanks for sharing the photo, KelleeM ! How fun! The only thing I know for sure about dinner is we will be having a coleslaw with shredded cabbage, carrots, radishes, jicama and beets because I'm trying to clean out the fridge before DH and I take off at the end of the week. Please note, the two young adults are being left behind but are unlikely to touch anything more than cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce while we are away. |

My sister and I were left when we were 19 and 16. We got scurvy if not vitamin deficiency. Not a vegetable got eaten for 2 weeks. We thought we were doing well. |

I made two delicious tomato tarts, one for dd who has been here (sorta) since late Friday and one for us. This tart has a shell, mozzarella cheese spread on the bottom, fresh basil on top of the cheese, sliced REAL tomatoes on top of all of that, and a little olive oil, salt and pepper on top. 400 degree oven. Tasty and easy. I also made a banana cake (not bread) and we'll eat half and she'll eat half. Tasty food all around. KelleeM - I love that you still scrapbook (me, too) and that you found RP friends fairly close. You all look so happy! lucyg - Arrows of congratulations to your nephew! Bravo!! leannec - Thanks for the thread. Arrows were launched yesterday for you, but several hundred friendship arrows from a small college arrived today and they wanted to emphasize our support for you, so I launched them, too. |

I've been a crocheting maniac today. I finished my shawl and I'm getting it out of the wash to block. I've eaten nothing but crap all day. I'm thinking I will throw together a sandwich.

I've been a reading fool today. Have a book due at the library tomorrow and I was only half through it. So, I haven't been thinking of food, just reading. Thankfully, my darling son just informed me we're having spaghetti for dinner. Whee! I can keep reading!  |

How fun KelleeM, thanks for sharing the photo! I had planned to try a new dish but DD wasn’t home, she went skiing. I didn’t want her to miss out. Luckily MIL invited us over for dinner. She made spag bol, a creamy prawn pasta and homemade pizza. Chocolate crepes, strawberries and ice cream for dessert. |

We had a big lunch out and are home from the open house. *I*Am*Stressed. Any feedback? No feedback from yesterday yet and too soon for today. The agent said it showed well. I am losing my ever-loving mind. It’s keeping the house show ready all the time. Maybe someone today will have liked it. Anyway it sounds like drama but it is stressful. It is priced to move. Location and condition are amazing but we have stairs. It’s a 4 level split and we have 7 stairs on each level. I am upstairs now. You can’t put a suite in here either. It’s not worth the money to do so. The clock is ticking... |

LOVE the photo of you three, KelleeM. What a fun day. Thanks for the kind words about my nephew. desertgirl I was wrong, he didn’t produce this show, was just the playwright. The play was GREAT. I hope he hits the big-time one of these days. We got pizza after the show. It was delish. My tummy is happy. |
