Wow, last week had it all. In addition to the wonderful adoption finalization, we had business trips, death, hospitalizations, floods, and a raft of friends with their own calamities. It was a nice September in parts but now overdue for departure, so I was glad to see the new month roll right in on time. This week:
Monday: Mark Bittman is speaking at the Philadelphia Library. I don't think I'm going but in his honor I will Use My Freezer and make things that are already in there. I found shrimp and corn and will probably make my favorite skillet meal from that, augmented with the CSA box.
Tuesday: crazy gymnastics/football day. With great trepidation, I'm trying "homemade" pizza again, this time with a tube of dough I'm hoping is already flattish enough that I don't end up with a glob like the last several times. Regular for the kids, sauteed red onion for us since they are piling up from the CSA (which is fine).
Wednesday: a little easier. Chicken tacos, since I'll have the time to cook and I found ground chicken in the freezer.
Thursday: back to school picnic! We ordered a (fundraiser) pizza, and will augment with bring-along carrot sticks, chips, dip, and fruit leathers.
Friday: probably a football game but we'll see how the weather goes. (yeah, we're that kind of fan, now that we only have one nephew in the band, and it's his 6th year).
Here's hoping your week brings you smooth fall sailing! Go visit I'm An Organizing Junkie for more meal planning inspiration!

I'm hoping your nephew's not a 6th year high schooler. ;) I definitely agree you deserve to be fair weather fans.
I was waiting for you to talk about pestlience, after everything else you've been through. I hope October is much, much better.
Good luck with the pizza. When it's right, it's awesome, but it is a little tricky to get right, isn't it?
Have a wonderful week.
You have to update us on the Mark Bittman visit. He's great! You have a delicious week lined up.
