Hello to everyone from the Sunny and Summery Twin Cities of MN where the birds are sinning, dandelions are blooming and I’m ready for June. Admitting procrastination is in progress- I have volunteer drivers I need to connect with the officials for our competition next week and I’ve already wrote 36 thank you notes and decorated the theater lobby today. And was rather abruptly woken this morning by a Turkey. Entering into Skate Completion week and Musical Theater performance week at the same time. Actuals and plans for 2 adults and 2 busy girls. (who really need their skates sharpened but that might not happen) some of this is me just typing it out to plan. . .
Weds 7: A repeat of SK sour cream pancakes with ricotta and strawberry rhubarb sauce
Thurs 8: Supposed to be grilled burgers but ran out of propane so finished inside. Salads, assorted crudite, the last of the potato salad lingering
Fri 9: No school day we somehow missed putting on the calendar! My new car got an underbody rust prevention coating and she stinks. Big kiddo skated. A skillet riff on the sheet pan sausage and gnocchi from a few weeks ago with a mango habanero sausage. I mixed up a little ponzu and mango chutney for a sauce but nobody had it
Sat 10: Tonight! I have some kofta (Jerusalem) I found in the freezer defrosting but I might bump them to tomorrow. Some kind of lemon-tahini sauce, rice vs naan. Salads? If I keep cooking minimal i won’t need to switch on the AC
Sun 11: Late afternoon skating exhibition. The kofta if we don’t have it tonight
Mon 12: Big kiddo has theater practice till 9. I have a skate committee meeting at 7. Anticipating a scrounge event.
Tues 13: Little one’s orchestra concert. I work. Mr Autumm in office. Big kiddo theater. Freezer dive and assorted leftovers. If I make rice we have some of frozen chicken curry things they like
Weds 14: Both kiddos skate. Big kiddo has theater matinee performances all day. Thinking about a big batch of meatballs and sauce for random foods over the next couple of days
Thurs 15: Competion begins! First evening show for Theater. Might do take out Thai for eating in shifts between being here and there
Fri 16: Big kiddo’s free skate in the morning. Evening show for her with Mr Autumm volunteering to Usher. Leftovers. Hoping I can talk little one into a bubble bath so I can chill
Sat 17: My parents in town to watch the show and see the girls skate. Big kiddo has an hour between the matinee and evening call for dinner and she does not want to walk with half the cast to McD’s. Probably pizza for the rest of us hoping things are going ok at skating. Las year Saturday evening with a big mess
Sun 18: Both kiddos skate in the morning. Trying to come up with a plan that does not involved me feeding people lunch here cause I will be working the completion and I don’t want my in-laws in the house. Dinner will be wine for me. Maybe gyros (costco) as I will probably be sick of takeout by then
So that’s the menu plan for us this week! Thanks for letting me de-stress and Happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate!
