Doomed and Delighted

This week's menu is doomed before we finish it!

First, the chilli I defrosted on Tuesday night from our freezer was mislabeled "vegetarian" so we broke our fast unintentionally.  As my brother put it, "This eggplant tastes really meaty!" (wink, wink)

Second, I have no idea what veges I'll be picking up in our food co-op produce tomorrow, so I may have to rethink half of it.

Third, we hope to do an overnight trip sometime this coming week as N is on Spring Break, so that will throw meal planning out the window anyway.

But for what it's worth, here's the plan:

Wednesday: Homemade Fish'n'Chips with salad

Thursday: Cheese Burritos

Friday: Sweet Potato (Kumara) cakes with Mango Salsa

Saturday: Crunchy Chicken Casserole with seasonal veges

Sunday: Pasta with tomato and vegetable based sauce

Monday: Baked Salmon with seasonal veges

Tuesday: Corn Chip Casserole (yes, more Tex-Mex!)

The good news is that we've been enjoying the company of guests this week: my brother and our friend, Kristen.  A few late nights talking so far.

J also took delivery of an 'I-Spy' quilt that Grandma had sent over.  He has had lots of fun finding all sorts of things on it, especially stars and kiwifruit and vehicles.  He's had it on his bed for the last two nights and naps, and we are delighted that he slept through the night both times (for the first time in ages).  Yay!
