It’s 8pm on my birthday, and I am ready to go to bed. This is because of (a) the time change and (b) all of the empanadas I ate for dinner. Here’s what we’re having for the rest of Birthday Week:
- Monday: Empanadas!
- Rockford and I went out to a pop-up empanada shop at a local bar while the kids were at play practice. We tried one of everything — pulled pork! smoked chicken! butternut squash! elote! apple pie! — and every single one was excellent. I’d eat them every day if I could.
- Tuesday: Dim sum
- This was originally going to be my birthday dinner, but then the empanadas happened.
- Wednesday: Breakfast for dinner
- Rockford pancakes for everyone!
- Thursday: Poppyseed chicken casserole
- Pete’s turning 12, so I’m making his favorite meal.
- Friday: Pizza
- May be frozen, may be Pizza Hut. We’ll see.
