Five things Rockford wanted for dinner

I slept late on Saturday, and while I was snoozing Rockford made this week’s menu plan. He did a fine job. He forgot to ask the kids about their kids’ choice meal, which means no cheeseburgers or fish sticks!

Monday: Tacos

A good start to the week.

Tuesday: Out

I’m not sure what we’re doing yet.

Wednesday: Baked orange chicken

This, Rockford tells me, is a recipe we used to make every now and again. I don’t remember it at all.

Thursday: Breakfast for dinner

I usually do eggs and veggie sausages; Rockford planned eggs and sausage biscuits and gravy! He’s so fancy.

Friday: Pizza

I went to the woods to eat a burger

Once again, we had a really lovely weekend. We saw “The Croods” at the discount theater on Friday night, and on Saturday we did some work in the garden before going to Andy’s graduation party at a nearby national forest picnicking area. On Sunday morning Perry Mason and his missus went out to breakfast with us, and we spent the rest of Sunday kicking around the house and relaxing and eating blueberry pie.

Lovely.

Monday: With friends

We ran into some friends at the national park on Saturday, and they invited us to have dinner tonight.

Tuesday: McAlister’s Deli

Kids’ night!

Wednesday: Mongolian beef

I had this on the menu a few weeks ago and didn’t make it. Maybe this week I’ll remember to pick up the beef!

Thursday: Pizza subs

Because it’s Poppy’s choice night.

Friday: Pizza

What’s better than a pizza sub? A pizza.

Mongolian beef, fish sticks & my first animated gif

The Youngest Brother graduated from high school this weekend, and if the animated gif I made is actually working you know now his name is Andy. (I really hope it’s working, because it makes me laugh.) Congratulations to The Youngest!

Perry Mason and his missus came over for the graduation, and just before he headed out the door to go home Perry dictated most of this week’s menu plan for us. His suggestion for our Sunday night dinner was pot roast, and boy was that ever a good idea. I also made garlic mashed potatoes and “copper penny” carrots, inspired by one of the Grill Master episodes of “Chopped,” to go along with it. The only part of the meal I didn’t like was that there weren’t enough carrots.

Monday: Out

We’re going out with Rockford’s parents for their anniversary. I’m not sure where they want to go, though.

Tuesday: Chicken enchiladas

Perry Mason’s second meal-plan pick. I’ll probably do something along the lines of the Pioneer Woman’s White Chicken Enchiladas.

Wednesday: Fish sticks & mac n cheese

This was Poppy’s choice, not Perry Mason’s. He’d probably happily eat it, though.

Thursday: Mongolian beef

Perry Mason’s generic choice was stir-fry; Rockford elected the Mongolian beef.

Friday: Pizza
