Tuesday the 24th: Ladybird Diner

 One of our favorite meals while we were on our trip was a light lunch at Ladybird Diner. We had a huge breakfast so we didn't need much, but this tomato soup and southwestern salad with fruit and a piece of pie for dessert hit the spot!

 

 

 

 

Monday the 23rd: Saint of the Week

 *Wednesday this week is the Annunciation of Mary, as described in Luke 1, when she accepted the call to become the mother of Jesus.

Wednesday the 18th: Music of the Week

 *This week I don't need to prep for any Masses and I don't have school, so...

I'm playing one song a day to get ready for Palm Sunday.

I'm working on two instrumental accompaniments and four vocal accompaniments a day.

Today is the optional memorial/commemoration of St. Cyril of Jerusalem, Doctor of the Church. 

 

 

Tuesday the 17th: Signs of Spring

 *Yes, yes, flowers are a good sign of spring. But so are dry spaces where there was leaking in the basement, saying that you can finally really repair the drywall.

 

 

Monday the 16th: Saint of the Week

 St. Patrick is the saint tomorrow. Do I really need to tell you anything about him?

 

 

Wednesday the 13th: Dresses and Fabric

 *I found fabric for my sister on Mass St. in Lawrence. She loves blue (so do I) so I chose a couple fat quarters. 

*I finally explored Weaver's, the classic department store in Lawrence. It was smaller than I expected, but had all the crazy dresses and departments that I expected. I'm glad I got to see it. 

 

 

Tuesday the 12th: Food of the Week

 Bottom picture is some muffins I made last week for our concert. They were pound cake muffins with sesame in them. Well received for a "lenten" muffin with what I had on hand.

Sunday the Son made Pot Roast and Red Lobster biscuits. He didn't quite get the proportions correct but it was still good, and we just finished the leftovers last night. 

Monday I made homemade Philly Cheesesteaks after the Husband shaved the beef. They were delicious; usually I buy preshaved steak from Aldi, and I think these probably tasted just as good as those. I always add sauteed peppers and onions. 

Tuesday we had Potato Galette with leftover roast/potatoes/gravy rewarmed together. The galette had no leftovers; I was told to make two, but it's too much work to do that (potatoes have to be 1/8 inch thickness).

Wednesday we had leftover pork (shredded) from the deep freeze in the crockpot with Anchiote Sauce.  We also had leftover potatoes smashed and cooked at 400 for 15-20 minutes with salt/pepper/olive oil/butter, and then frozen broccoli in the microwave. It was not our favorite but still quite good.

Tonight was supposed to be chicken and pasta (like a piccata) but my day has filled up and I already told the Husband he's in charge of picking up supper.

Friday will be a ramen coleslaw.
