I don’t normally try meaty samples at the grocery store — I reserve my sampling for sugar-based items — but Pete likes to try a bit of everything on offer. So we stopped to see what was percolating away in the CrockPots. It smelled great, and it looked pretty good. Pete didn’t think so, though; he took one look at it and said “No thank you.”

But the lady had already handed me the sample. And then I noticed that she looked a lot like the lady on the jar. Her name tag said “Lavanya.” And the jar said “Lavanya.”

I was beginning to put two and two together.

“Is this you?” I asked.

“Yes,” she said, “it is! It’s my family’s business.”

I couldn’t throw away the nice lady’s sample right in front of her, so I took a small bite. And then I ate the rest, because it was delicious.

(Thanks, Pete, for deciding you didn’t want to try that sample. Oh, and guess what? You’ll be trying it on Wednesday! Ha ha!)

Monday: Spaghetti

With meatballs? Without meatballs? Who knows! It’s super-exciting around here.

Tuesday: DIY Crunchwraps

Because Rockford loves them.

Wednesday: Lavanya’s coconut curry chicken

I am really, really looking forward to dinner on Wednesday.

Thursday: Breakfast for dinner

Thursday’s going to be a busy day, and the kids are always in favor of breakfast. It’ll be either eggs or pancakes.

Friday: Pizza

We might order in this week. We shall see.
