Glurggh… Sam goes back to work tomorrow, and as if sensing an upcoming change to his all-cuddles-all-the-time routine, Davy has gotten harder to calm at night. I’m operating on not much sleep, and I’m frankly kind of terrified of being home alone with both the kids, so this week’s meal plan may prove to be a web of lies—it’s enitrely possible that Sam is coming home each night to find me rocking in a corner, and a pizza delivery menu on the counter.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, our veggie box last week held kale, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, five plums, two different kinds of cucumbers (the “normal” kind and the pale round kind), carrots, celery, zucchini, broccoli, two big yellow onions, and five yellow potatoes—so it would be good if we managed to eat some of that. We’ve already put a good dent in the strawberries, and I’m planning to use the plums tonight in the crisp that I didn’t make last week. Also tonight I’m making a salad to accompany some grilled lamb chops.<\/p>\n
I think the kale is destined for yet another batch of bulgur salad<\/a> (it makes a good lunch for me and Robin). I’ll get a chicken to roast tomorrow with the potatoes, and then Tuesday I’ll make soup from the leftovers (using some carrots, onion, and celery too).<\/p>\n
