Dreaming of Simplicity

My menu is not set in stone but here is my game plan for the week. This is of course subject to change on a whim and some items are not very specific because I have not decided yet what style I want to cook or what recipe I will use.

Monday: Spaghetti and meat suace, homemade french bread, salad or Italian flat green beans

Tuesday: Roast , fried or grilled chicken parts, mashed potatoes, a vegetable or two

Wenesday: Pork ribs, cole slaw, cottage potatoes

Thursday: Chili served on rice, salad maybe? It will probably be a bean dish either way.

Friday: It's my night off, my husband takes me out to eat or we get take out, isn't my husband sweet.

Saturday: ? Hmmm not sure yet. We will see what happens

Sunday: Again not sure, maybe something in the crock pot

Yesterday was quite productive. We found some seeds to plant which I hoped to get in the ground but ran out of time. We did however get the plot we are using for the fall planting weeded out. We just need to send the chickens out there to scratch it up. It was tilled twice in the spring so the chickens should be able to get the surface worked up quite well. We also were able to weed the plot with onions, carrots, squashes, pumpkins and tomatoes. It looks nice now and I am actually getting growth on teh sqaushes since I placed the wire fencing on the plants. Whatever was eating the blossoms stopped doing so when I did that. It made weeding hard because we had to carefully lift the wire off to weed.

I picked the remaining peas yesterday and pulled out the plants. They were getting very sad looking. I picked my first zuke yesterday too. I ended up getting a bag of peas, and six bags of green beans processed for the freezer. Today is zucchini bread day!

 Well there you have it. All the news from my sad little homestead :)
