It's a beautiful Monday after a glorious weekend - love those open windows and wearing a jacket! When last we met, I was thinking about potatoes. I'm still thinking. With this cooler weather, I'm leaning toward a nice potato soup with a few remaining frozen shrimp thrown in. That would be for tomorrow night, if I get it started tonight after Scrabble. Tonight we're having the elusive baked macaroni and cheese. I call it elusive because I prepared it Saturday morning - using up the rest of the elbow macaroni, milk, and some of the sharp cheddar cheese, for Saturday night's dinner. Then friend Peggy switched the time we were meeting her, and we'd go out to dinner instead. Okay with me - I LOVE going out to dinner! So the mac and cheese would be for Sunday. Friend Emilie suggested a later time on Sunday for a planned get-together, so we went out to dinner on Sunday night too! With family obligations a little up in the air this afternoon, I decided to bake it this morning before work, and we'll nuke it for dinner tonight. I think carrots on the side would be good. Sigh...yes, we're still working on those carrots. If there's any homemade oatmeal bread left, we'll have that too. Speaking of homemade bread, the two loaves I made on Saturday turned out beautifully - and used up some flour, oats, wheat germ, yeast, and the other usual ingredients for bread.
Between hanging clothes on the line outside, finding a wooden drying rack at a yard sale for $3 just like we had when I was growing up, and baking the aforementioned bread, Saturday proved to be one of those feel-good memory days for me. It was a pleasant, happy day that, once again, underscored how very fortunate I am in what I have. Planning for the next dinner is a part of my thanks-giving. See you tomorrow.
