Menu - 5 - 11 July 2009Only 11 more days until we move. I should probably have some boxes packed or something. The freezer purging is going well. Between this week and next, there won't be much left that needs to live in a cooler while we move the freezer. I'm not certain, but I think most of what will be left will fit in the refrigerator freezer, so that would be helpful. I was going to babble about the move and replacing furniture, but I think I'll save that for another entry. There's much to do today and I need to get to it. So, menu... As always, much gratitude for Laura at I'm an Organizing Junkie for hosting Menu Plan Monday.

 Menu - 14 - 20 June 2009Wow. I posted the wrong dates on last week's menu. Oops. And there were all sorts of changes to last week's menu, too. Crazy weekend followed by super bad day has me posting this late. And past my bedtime, too. On a night when I should already be in bed and asleep because super early morning and insanely crazy busy day tomorrow. So, posting, then bed for some much need sleep. As always, much gratitude for Laura at I'm an Organizing Junkie for hosting Menu Plan Monday.

 Menu - 7 - 13 June 2009So, um, yeah. Life got hectic. I got distracted. Life continued on even though I wasn't blogging. It does that. Menu this week is pretty heavy with the red meat. Um. Almost completely red meat, actually. Oh. Broccoli, too. It's a theme I'm going to call "let's clean out the freezer before we move". It'll be a reoccurring theme between now and the middle of July. I expect all sorts of weird food combinations to be popping up over the next six weeks. And to make things that much more exciting, summer happened, so now I'm planning breakfast and lunch, too. Wee. There should be recipe links on at least two items this week, but it's my bedtime and besides needing to get to bed, I just don't feel like (a) finding the recipes, (b) typing them out to post them in my recipe blog so I can (c) link them here. It's just too much effort tonight. Oh, and Friday is super busy. Not only do I have to take my grandfather to the doctor's office at 8am, but Friday is also the day the husband wanders out of town on business again. I usually take him to the airport, but that may not happen this time since I don't know how long I'll be with my grandparents at the doctor's office. I never plan weekends, 'cause, you know, weekend. So, anyway, on with the menu. As always, much gratitude for Laura at I'm an Organizing Junkie for hosting Menu Plan Monday.
