Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are…
Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in my pillow,
or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky
and want, more than all the world, your return.

January 17 Meal Plan

Still sick.  Good times.  Getting very tired of it, thank you very much.  Mark's still sick too.  Thankfully, the kids are not and we're definitely functionable (that's totally a word, right?), so it's fine.  Still, I can not wait for that magical day somewhere in the (hopefully) not-to-distant future where I sleep all night (not woken up by my or hubby's coughing), my ears aren't ringing and completely stuffed, my eyes are clear, I'm not congested and my head doesn't feel like it's going to explode.  I wonder if I'll notice right away or if it will sneak up on me.  I can't wait to find out.

Last week was full of huge hits, I'll have to remember to make them again soon.  The kids loved the city chicken, beef stew, and chicken and dumplings and for some reason the spaghetti was absolutely delicious.  Nice when everything you make is a big hit.  :)  Best of all, our order got mixed up a bit and I ended up making chicken and dumplings Thursday night so Mark still owes me cooking dinner.  It's nice to have that in reserve.

Life goes on, thankfully, so here's what we'll be having this week.
Monday:  Cook's Illustrated's Indoor Pulled Pork, via The Bitten Word. I'm hoping it's good.  It will be nice to have it in the freezer too.  I made my own BBQ sauce, using Jim Budros' recipe.  Yum!  Cole Slaw, Potato Wedges
Tuesday:  Oven-fried Chicken, corn pudding, salad, cookies
Wednesday:  Oriental Chicken wings, rice,szechwan green beans
Thursday:  Salmon patties, buttered noodles, creamed peas
Friday:  BBQ ribs, baked potatoes, veggies

Too much BBQ, but I made a mistake and defrosted everything at once, so there you go.

Hope your week's are good.  Delurking Day was fun, if you don't normally comment on my blog, or if you do, leave a comment, it's fun to know who's been here.
