Day Two - I miss caffeine!
Up at 5:00AM. By 3:00PM, I was really missing my Coca-Cola! I nearly fell asleep on the couch, but the clicking of the mouse (by Dd2) kept rousing me.
Breakfast for the kids was cold cereal wtih milk. I had more of the Greek Chicken Pasta Salad and Iced Tea.
We nibbled some home-dried apple slices before we left to meet with a couple of other families to do a craft project. We were served some pretzels as a snack while we were there.
For lunch, I took leftover BBQ chicken, chopped it up, mixed in some Light Creamy Caesar Dressing and spread it on tortillas. I added lettuce to everyone's plus tomatoes and green onion to mine. Along side, I served some snap peas-in-the-pod (Costco) and orange slices. We all drank iced tea. BTW, Dh takes his lunch to work and I am not responsible for what goes into it!
We had breakfast for dinner: pancakes, leftover bacon (Dh cooked a whole pound this weekend; I usually only cook 1/2 or 1/3 pound), and scrambled eggs. We used the last of the pancake syrup. The kids like my home-canned blackberry syrup, but Dh only likes maple. Next time, I'll try to make my own maple-flavored syrup. I did it once before and Dh didn't like it. As I recall that recipe included molasses, which I'll eliminate this time. Dh and the kids drank milk with dinner. I don't care for milk. I've been sucking down the iced tea. I made a second gallon this morning, and will do so again tomorrow-without a doubt!
While making dinner, I fried up 20+ extra pancakes. I froze them, wrapped in Saran, in bundles of four, which makes a nice breakfast for the kids.
