Menu Plan -Week 16

Last week started with a special meal and ended with a special meal.

Our church's hospitality committee (of which I am a part) donated a big fundraising meal to the "Anything for Anthony" COTA campaign.  We served lots of folks and raised some money.  It was a lovely way to start the week.

Cross Country started back up at Diva's school which meant that I was again "running" (I use the term very loosely) with the children.  Our Schnauzer Greta went with me and because she was pulling me the whole way, her wheezing drowned out my own.  Thank you Greta.

Supper Club was held at The Little Pink House on Saturday.
We had a British themed menu:

Smoked Salmon on a bed of Baby Greens w/Mustard Dill Dressing

Roast Duck w/Sausage & Apricot Stuffing

Potatoes w/Mustard Seeds 

Peas & Carrots

Basil Shortbread w/Strawberry Lemon Basil Mousse

Truffles

It was delicious!

Yesterday was the first day I was able to play in the garden.  I got some of my seeds and seedlings in the ground and am full of anticipation for the the fruits of my labor.  Pickling season anyone?

This is the week of reckoning for me.  I have got to catch up on all correspondence before we start to get really busy.  I know that once we get to May, it is chaos around here and we go into survival mode.  Any thank yous, phone calls that need returning, lesson plans, etc. have to be done this week or else they will slide into June.  

Because I am teaching a frugal food class for the next three weekends, I will be trying out recipes on my peeps.  Keep them in your prayers.  ;)

Here's what we will be eating:

Sunday - Pizza, Salad, Garlic Bread

Monday - Tomato Soup, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, and Apple Slices

Tuesday - Spaghetti & Meatsauce, Salad, & Garlic Bread

Wednesday - Cuban Sandwiches, Black Bean Salad, and Pineapple Chunks

Thursday - Spaghetti Pie and Salad

Friday - Date Night

Saturday - Leftovers
