We are going to be gone a lot in the evenings over the next week. 

Our menu for the week reflects this. 

The two little girls are gone at Grandpa and Grandma's.  So I'm working on other things, not doing much cooking.  Plus it is hot, hot, hot!  


Monday:  Fair food---we are taking my sister-in-law to the Iowa State Fair tonight.

Tuesday:  Make yourself a sandwich night---I'll be leaving for a reading seminar taught by our supervising teacher.

Wednesday:  Either take-out pizza or grilled meat with a few easy sides. 

Examples of sides:  Chips and salsa, fruit salad and scootch-a-roos. 

We are having a family over for supper. 

Thursday:  Probably more fair food for most of us.  The four oldest are going to see Casting Crowns in concert.  Grace and the baby sitter will probably get an easy supper...I'm still thinking about what would please the babysitter's palate.

Friday:  We will be either spaghetti or tacos.  Usually we go out to eat on friday nights, but our budget and our belly's can't take anymore eating out!
