A weekend of goodbyes

“Menu Plan Tuesday” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as “Menu Plan Monday,” but here we are.

It was a weird, rough weekend at Butterscotch Sundae headquarters. Rockford spent all of Saturday helping our best friends pack to move across the country, and on Sunday they came over for one last dinner and then left for points westward. Rockford and I grew up with the Mister of the family, and their daughter is just a few months younger than Pete. They’ve lived within a mile of us for the last 8 years, since we serendipitously moved to the same town within a few month of each other. They transcended our friend-family barrier long before that, and I just don’t know what we’re going to do without them.

Monday: Grilled ham & cheese sandwiches Leftovers
I did make Poppy a grilled cheese sandwich after soccer practice, but the rest of us had leftovers from our Sunday evening cookout.

Tuesday: Pizza
Pizza is one of Poppy’s very favorite foods, and this is the last week she’ll be able to enjoy it for many, many months, if my What You Can Eat With Braces research is accurate.

Wednesday: Orange Chicken Meatballs
The Orange Chicken Meatball recipe from Just a Taste has been on my Pinterest board for a good long while, and I thought maybe I’d finally give it a try.

Thursday: Cheeseburgers and mac & cheese
This is a Pete’s Choice meal, but it’s also the day that Poppy gets braces. Hence the mac & cheese.

Friday: Chicken masala
I never made it last week, so it’s on the menu again.
