We spent most of last week in Washington DC, riding the Metro and going to the zoo and eating the best tacos and visiting family and looking at rockets and dinosaurs and giant jellyfish. And after that we spent the night in Ohio, where Rockford worked and the kids and I went to the mall. (That was the slightly less exciting part of the week.) And then finally we were home again, and we had nothing at all scheduled for the weekend, and that was just marvelous.
This week will be a good bit less busy than last week was. There will be no tacos, no rockets and no jellyfish, but there will be birthday cake for Rockford and every day with birthday cake is a good day.
- Monday: Citrus-roasted salmon
- I ate a lot of salmon while we were traveling, and I liked it. The last time I made fish at home — probably 10 years ago — the fishy smell nearly drove me to move. (Until the smell went away, and then I was once again at peace with the world.) Let’s hope that doesn’t happen again this time.
- Tuesday: Pizza
- Rockford is going to do some golfing with his dad, and then we’re going to have pizza.
- Wednesday: Birthday dinner
- Rockford’s mom is making it. I believe there will be short ribs and noodle salad.
- Thursday: Thai curry chicken
- I still haven’t made this. Unbelievable.
- Friday: Out
- I’m not sure where we’re going yet.
We had an amazing lunch at that museum as well!
