menu plan Monday, Sports

I also re-learned how to make an animated gif

Happy February, friends. I learned two things yesterday:

1) If I already have a cold, I can dust without having an allergy attack. So that’s a silver lining, I guess.

2) Actresses Rooney Mara and Kate Mara are sisters, and they are football royalty. The maternal side of their family has owned part of the Pittsburgh Steelers since the team’s inception, and their paternal side has owned part of the New York Giants since that team began.

Monday: Cracker Barrel chicken tenders
I’m glad I scheduled these as a repeat occurrence on my computer calendar, because I really enjoy the recipe but I always forget about it when I’m menu planning.

Tuesday: Bacon, lettuce and avocado sandwiches
Avocado > tomatoe

Wednesday: Popcorn
It’s our 15th anniversary, and it is our tradition to see as many movies as possible on our anniversary. So we’ll be having movie snacks for dinner.

Thursday: ???
I’m not yet sure what Thursday has in the cards for us.

Friday: Pizza
I was sick last Friday and one of my preferred frozen pizza brands was on buy-one-get-one, so we had frozen pizza. I’m hoping to get my act together enough to make pizza this week.

Did you learn anything interesting this weekend?

Kids are weird, Sports

Overheard at my house during Katy Perry’s halftime performance

Pete: “What is that?!?”

Me: “That’s Katy Perry riding a giant metal tiger.”

Pete: “What? This is supposed to be football. Where’d that all go?”

Me: “This is halftime.”

Pete: “Oh. This is a weird halftime. Does that tiger even roar? Oh, I guess it does. Is that a chessboard? What is this?”

Rockford, walking through the door: “What is that? She looks like she’s wearing taped-on flames. Is that Lenny Kravitz? This is weird.”

* * * * *

Rockford: “Land shark!”

Pete: “What is this?”

Rockford: “This must be her hit about summertime.”

* * * * *

Pete: “What is she lip-synching to?”

* * * * *

Poppy: “Why is she wearing that?”

Rockford: “Because she wrote a song about the beach? I don’t know.”

* * * * *

Poppy: “How could someone fit all this into a halftime show? Ha! Look at those people dancing.”

* * * * *

Poppy: “Did she say ‘Tri-state area’?”

Pete: “Or maybe she said ‘Give me a nacho!’ “
