Lots of stuff from the CSA: carrots, chard, cucumbers, weird kinds of squash I have no idea how to cook, freshly dug potatoes, three more pasture-raised chicken from local farm.
I'm going to cook up the chard today. At some point this week, I'm making carrot slaw. I think I'll roast some potatoes and weird nameless squash along with a chicken for dinner. Right now I am out on my screen porch. The temperature is lovely this morning. Nice and cool.
B starts her camp today and I am not prepared to make her lunch. I just didn't think ahead. The weekend was very busy with AHG stuff and other things. Must make amends now.
I think my hour of decluttering is going to be cleaning out my freezers. Talk about wasting food and plastic. My out door freezer is such a mess. But I might as well bite the bullet and clean it out. I need to defrost it too but since I have 5 chickens in there right now and no room to put them anywhere else, I'll have to postpone that.
Yesterday, we went to a pizza party for AHG and ate so much junk. Junk, junk, junk. Honestly we need a real change in our diet. B eats so poorly and is always complaining about how lousy she feels. She's put on weight and she's so moody. She feels like crap. I think it is the cumulative affect of eating so poorly. How to change things for the better? And now she is going to be at this theater camp for 2 weeks and the folks there live on candy. I mean bags and bags of it.
B's birthday is Wednesday. We are taking her to out to dinner (good restaurant) and then to the Kennedy Center to see The Sound of Music. Weirdly, I think it is just going to be her, R and me. A very quiet birthday. But we owe her a whale watching trip! We are going to try to plan ahead for a fun trip at some point in the next year; maybe New England, maybe California. We need one more big family trip before she graduates high school. Once they get to college age, it is much harder to get them to come to family vacations.
Anyway, I am just rambling. Need to focus on meal planning for the week but that might not happen until tomorrow.
