Monday night we had Lentil Tacos and they were delicious.  Sadly I couldn’t remember where I sat my camera so no picture.

Tuesday was our super busy night and everyone just ate a bowl of Organic Cereal for dinner.

Wednesday night I made my first ever pot roast and it was so yummy!!  Sadly it was only a 2lb roast so it made 1 serving of meat per person.  I purchased that size because I got it on Mgrs Special.  Despite no seconds everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thursday Jonah woke up with stomach flu and by afternoon I was not feeling well at all.  We have a rule in this house that if you have anything possibly contagious you do not touch anyone’s food.  So hubby and Emeri just had a Free For All night.

Friday night we didn’t get to go to our friend’s house, their son had been ill also.  Jonah and I were feeling a lot better by Friday evening even though we were still a bit puny.  We decided to do takeout on Friday and not on Sunday.

Saturday we had plans to go see the Secrets of Jonathan Sperry in the afternoon. However there was a projector problem during the afternoon showing so we went to the 6:40 showing and I didn’t cook.  Our dinner was movie popcorn.

I promised hubby that I would make Saturday’s steaks on Sunday, although he insisted on baked potatoes instead of rice.  So we had steak rubbed down with Lawry’s season salt cooked on the George Foreman, baked potato and a slice of buttered bread.  It was so good.
