Meal Plans Week of 9-20-09

Is it really the 4th week in September?!? That's just crazy. It seems like every week just flies by lately. And I'm sure this week will be the same. There is always plenty going on. Monday is nursery cmt. meeting for me. Unfortunately Justin found out he has to meet with his class that night, so Rebecca will have to come with me. Hopefully she does ok. Tuesday is probably Meijer. Wed. we have Kindermusik, I have a dentist appt. and Justin has worship team I think. Thursday Justin has class. I haven't decided yet what our outing will be. Maybe we'll visit my grandparents. And Friday will be cleaning and getting ready to head to Grand Blanc the next morning.

For extras this week I'll keep working on pears. I got through about half of our pears on Friday/Saturday. I still have to make pearsauce with the rest and can it. I haven't decided yet if I'll buy another half bushel this week. I don't know if I'll have time to deal with them this week. But I would like to make more pearsauce and maybe can some pear slices. My main project will be working on a cake for our family gathering on Saturday.

I did end up getting to the meat market last week. They have a good selection and it seems like good quality. And they are really close! So I'll probably try ordering some chicken and maybe some pork from them soon. They don't sell seafood. I'm still trying to find a local seafood place.

I think that's it for now. My brain is a bit scattered since Rebecca was up most of the night. We both got about 3 hours of sleep. Here are the tentative meal plans for the week.
