Menu Plan Monday Update

Okay, so last week I did a Menu Plan Monday that many people were thinking was a little out of the ordinary for our family.

You're right... it was. But, they ate it like troopers.

Here are the results:
Chinese - EXCELLENTE!
Indian Curry - pretty good. Many here thought it was their favorite all week
Jambalaya - good. Again, a good recipe makes a great dish
Greek Casserole - okay, those two words should not be in the same sentence. Three letters - YUK.
Ratatouille - for a non-zuchini eating family, it was pretty darn good. I doubt it will be on the menu anytime soon, but it wasn't bad.

This week, in honor of the troopers in my family, the girls each get to pick what they want one day each... so here's the menu. You try to guess who wanted them (some demographics on my girls - E=age 8 semi picky eater but not bad, A=age 15 most picky on the face of this family, L=age 18 and a budding cook, H=age 20 and likes most things.

Mon - fried chicken and mashed potatoes
Tues - nachos
Wed - grill your own meat at the youth beach party (nobody's choice today)
Thurs - Chinese stir fry
Fri - undecided

Glad to see menu monday! Chris was spurring me on, but she's been AWHK-absent with her kids-lately. Having each choose is a great idea-are you having them cook their choices too?

Ok. well I know Linds wanted the fried chicken, my guess is Em wanted the nachos and Haliegh wanted the chinese. Knowing Abs' propensity for having a hard time making a decision, I'm guessing she is the undecided.

coffee

I have to take issue with something. Dave Ramsey... love him. usually. But, today... I got an email from him (not because we're personal friends but because we've paid to take his FPU class)... and he had the NERVE to say that coffee is not a necessity. it is a luxury. I'm contemplating my open letter to him. Something like this... Dear Dave, Although I appreciate all that you have done in your life and ministry, I have to take issue with one point. Coffee is not a luxury. How can I ask my husband to extend a special line item in our budget for Starbucks when you continue to claim that it is a luxury? Let me educate you on the value of my daily Starbucks .... First of all, it is research... when I get the necessary funds, I plan to open my own coffee shop, and it is vital to my financial peace that I complete the research needed for a successful coffee shop. Secondly, ... have you SEEN me in the morning when I don't have it? Do you work beside me? No... you haven't

Quick! Call an Ambulance!

I went on a bike ride with my 9 year old yesterday. Okay... I will wait a minute while you gain your composure. You don't have to be so loud about it. I had been promising her that we would go on a bike ride together for a few days. Why didn't I promise her a trip to Starbucks for a nice hot latte? So, we ditched a few responsibilities and went on a bike ride. But, I didn't have a bike. So, I was going to walk. She said I could borrow Abbie's bike. Except Abbie has the bike seat from the land down under - you know what I mean. And my rear was not meant to sit on that tiny thing. But, I rode it anyway. After we crossed the street, we started heading down the road and it was pretty nice for a couple minutes. Luckily, my dad lives 2 blocks away, so we had to stop there to say hi and to tell him that we are on a bike ride. Then, we headed back on our bike ride. We left my dad's and there is a slight hill. Emily got tired just-in-the-nick-of-time so I had to walk
