Dropped by St. Louis this weekend to see the parents, do a little bit of shopping, and see people. Ended up Saturday night with Kat and Adam meeting up with Don and Jason at Olive Garden. I ate too much. It really doesn't look like that much on the plate, but I'm told that my stomach is still shrunken from when I was sick a few months back.
House finances are a tiny bit tight, so the house menus for the next week are going to reflect it. Vegetarian, but I'm sure we will find a way to put some protein in there, the beans are an edge in that direction. The menu itself:
spanakopita
pasta - cream sauce and pesto
mac n' cheese
spanish rice with beans
topped baked bread, 3-cheese, olives, canned veggies
vegetarian potato curry
Timing is going to be somewhat random, I'm going to have to make sure that the spanakopita is made when Danielle has a night off, because it's one of her favorites. Dfenster makes the spanish rice (I really should learn how he does it), which is really good. I also need to watch him make enchilada filling sometime.
Everyone will be converging on the Benne homestead this fourth of July as usual. I am going to show up early to hold vigil with Mr. Don as we roast a whole pig overnight, leading into the fourth of July festivities, whereupon Mr. Hippy is working on getting fireworks to go off by electronic command, which should be pretty. I probably won't be leaving there until sometime on the fifth.
I've been working pretty much all day, which is a good thing, as I would like to get a more polished product out sometime soon.
