Monday Menu Recap: Week of Feb. 27th

Last week's main dish dinners:

Monday--vegetable curry and tempura shrimp
Tuesday--Chef Tess Broccoli, Cheese, and Rice Casserole
Wednesday--Leek/Potato Soup
Thursday--a recipe-less hamburger/onion/tomato concoction
Friday--Subway sandwiches (date night)
Saturday--Golden Potato, Cheese, and Sausage Casserole

Monday's and Saturday's meals will definitely stay in the rotation.  Thursday's would, except it was one of those "a little of this and a little of that" one-of-a-kind numbers.  I want to try Tuesday's meal again, after I purchase some more-recently freeze-dried broccoli.  What I used had been sitting unopened in my cupboard for a while.  Still edible, but not at its peak of color/flavor.  Soups are generally out of favor at the moment with she-who-must-not-be-named, but the grown-ups liked it.

I received unsolicited praise for the Golden Potato, Cheese, and Sausage Casserole from both John and youngest daughter, so I plan on making up several jars worth of that meal today.  I did find, however, that it was still a little soupy after microwaving, so I ended up simmering it on the stove top until the consistency was right. 

This week I'll see if I can remember to take some photos, so that next Monday's post won't be so devoid of images.

What did you cook last week? 

Thankful thought:  Thanks for a wonderful church meeting yesterday.  A (non-LDS) man who has been attending LDS services for 22 years got up and shared how he knows now "that 1+1=2".  He acknowledged his new belief in God, and spoke with conviction, gratitude, and humility.

  1. My brown rice stir-fry went over well last night. Brown rice made a day ahead, cold, then added to onion, green pepper, red pepper, and celery frying. Added leftover ham (chopped) and soy sauce to taste. I also served a tossed salad and cooked zucchini. I made a lot so leftovers tonight.

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
