On Friday Poppy tested for her yellow belt at tae kwon do, and Pete tested for his white-yellow belt. On Saturday we saw the eldest nephew become an Eagle Scout, and we watched the eldest niece in “The Nutcracker.” On Sunday I had a headache so bad I thought I was going to toss my cookies, so I took and nap and then made some bread pudding. The headache never went away, but the bread pudding was delicious.

It was an eventful weekend.

This week is Poppy’s “Nutcracker” week, so I’ll be spending at least part of my days battling bobby pins and hairspray. We’re also going to try to get some school work done before we take our break for the holidays.

And here’s what we’ll be eating for dinner this week.

Monday: Meatloaf

I haven’t made a meatloaf in a long time. I hope it’s a good one.

Tuesday: Korean barbecue beef

The Campbell’s Slow Cooker Sauces were on sale last week, so I bought a couple of them. We tried the Red Chili Taco sauce last week, and it was really good. And very spicy. I’m hoping the Korean barbecue sauce is just as good.

Wednesday: Korean beef tacos

…Because we’re having it again as tacos on Wednesday.

Thursday: Outsourced

“Nutcracker” business isn’t going to leave any time for cooking on Thursday, so we’ll be bringing something in for dinner.

Friday: Pizza

It’ll be build-your-own pizza night.
