Monday plan day, 8/17

Organic delivery this week: Bananas, apples, pears, oranges, grapes, grape tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, broccoli, green peppers, romaine lettuce, red potatoes, yellow squash

Dairy delivery this week: Three 1/2 gallons of skim milk

Monday - Leftovers from last week, a little bit of everything

Tuesday - Dinner at my parents' to celebrate finally selling the old house!  We'll be taking some of our fresh veggies with us to share.

Wednesday - Grilled  chicken (from the freezer), grilled zucchini (from our garden), and parsley potatoes (potatoes from our order and parsley from our garden).

Thursday - Dinner at my parents' again, this time to celebrate Curtis buying his first place in Chicago (and to trade cars with them for the weekend and help load the van with goodies for Curtis's new abode).  I'll be making zucchini bread to take with us (see a zucchini pattern here?  It's harvest time)

Friday - Three cheese mostaccioli (our vegetarian meal for the week, using tomatoes from our garden and noodles from our cupboard), tomato, basil, and mozzarella salad (using tomatoes from our order and basil from our garden), Italian bread (homemade, of course), and zucchini (from our garden)

Saturday - Leftover mostaccioli

Sunday - BBQing with Curtis, who will be in town briefly, to celebrate his new abode, this time with him in person.  We'll be hosting here, so we'll have burgers, with homemade buns and home grown tomatoes, zucchini, grilled, and corn.

Monday - Leftovers.  Monday is going to be leftover day from now on.

Grocery list - Almost nothing, thanks to careful stocking, deliveries, and our garden.  We'll need cheese for the mostaccioli and salad, and corn for Sunday's dinner.  As usual I'll also pick up OJ, and look for cereal on sale.  We also need to replace a few staples, like olive oil and fake butter (a habit I can't quite shake, even though Calvin only gets real butter from the dairy).  We're also out of real Michigan maple syrup, another thing Jon and I can't quite give up, but that Calvin really doesn't like.  Smart boy.  Happy week!
