The best-laid menu plans

I’m having my gallbladder removed on Wednesday, so dinners this week are a bit up in the air. Here’s my plan, but I’m going to be out of commission and sipping broth for most of the week so it may actually be Taco Bell every night.

Monday: Chicken Tinga Tacos
This is from a Blue Apron meal kit, which I will tell you all here.

Tuesday: Barbecue
My dad is in town for a few days, and there’s a very strong chance we’ll be going out for barbecue because that’s his favorite thing to do.

Wednesday: Jello and broth
Well, I’ll be having clear liquids. My sister-in-law is delivering dinner for the rest of the crew.

Thursday: Frozen pizza
It’s Poppy’s favorite meal!

Friday: Breakfast for dinner
The kids always enjoy a Rockford breakfast night because he makes all the foods.

Flotsam / Jetsam

Five quick things

1. We’re still here.

2. My gallbladder has turned against me. I’m having it removed next week.

3. Pete is enjoying school.

4. Both cats have been sick over the last two weeks, so I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time and funds at the vet lately.

5. I have plenty of time to write, but I think I’ve forgotten how.

A menu plan for the first week of school

Today has been strangely quiet at ButterscotchSundae headquarters, because today for the first time ever in the history of Pete he is at school. He was homeschooled for kindergarten through third grade, and I kind of figured that trend would continue. I’ve always told the kids they could try going to school if they ever wanted to, though, and about a month ago he said he wanted to go. He was a little nervous this morning, and I’m still a lot nervous right now. I’ve been tracking his schedule all day (he’s in music class right now), and I’m counting the hours til I can pick him up and hear all about his day. I hope it was wonderful.

Monday: Crispy Garlic Chicken
This is one of those dishes that’s always delicious but is rarely ever on our table because I keep forgetting about it. Welcome back, Crispy Garlic Chicken.

Tuesday: Spaghetti and Meatballs
I made this last week, too. No such thing as too much spaghetti and meatballs.

Wednesday: Cheeseburgers
I figure cheeseburgers will be a good way to celebrate the boy’s first Wednesday of the school year.

Thursday: Breakfast for dinner
Maybe I’ll make hashbrowns this week.

Friday: Pizza
etc
