- Monday: Chicken meatballs.
- We’re going to have these on pita bread with tzatziki sauce. I’m really glad I didn’t have to say that to you, because I have no idea how to pronounce it.
- Tuesday: Bangers & mash.
- Petey loved this so much when we had it on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s also exceptionally simple. Win and win.
- Wednesday: Mac & cheese & peas.
- The peas are added on an as-needed basis. That is to say, I add them to Pete’s after it’s in his bowl, so that nary a vegetable touches Poppy’s food.
- Thursday: Breakfast for dinner.
- Either omelets or scrambled eggs with veggie sausages.
- Friday: Pizza
I’m beginning to wonder whether we’ll have a week without macaroni & cheese and/or pizza.
The 
tells the story of Francis Phelan, a homeless man who has been almost entirely consumed by guilt. Ultimately, it’s a story about redemption, but the reader has to slog through quite a lot of sadness and destruction (and ghosts) to get to it. There wouldn’t really be a story at all without that slogging, though, so I suppose that was the whole point. I wasn’t deeply touched by the story, but it wasn’t bad.
