Can I recommend the book Rainbow's End to you? It's a biography of a girl growing up next to a game preserve in (then)Rhodesia. It's a great read, and I think she even mentions putting her soaped arm inside a cow's cervix.

But the pain in the ass that is trying to think of interesting things to eat every damn week got the best of me, so I rarely plan. Which means I end up at the grocery store almost every damn day. Sigh. This week, my husband made the menu, god love him. Here it is:<BR/><BR/><B>Sunday:</B> Steak Fajitas<BR/><B>Monday:</B> Pizza (restaurant!)<BR/><B>Tuesday:</B> Linguine and Clams<BR/><B>Wednesday:</B> Lamb Curry with daal<BR/><B>Thursday:</B> Cornish Game Hen, wild rice, and yellow wax beans<BR/><B>Friday:</B> Dinner at a yummy restaurant near us that has AWESOME heirloom tomatoes with homemade mozarella cheese.<BR/><BR/>I love him. He rocks. We'll see what happens next week. ;)<BR/><BR/>I love monarchs...you are a saint for saving them. Be careful though...my daughter tried to save a bee a few weeks ago that was being teased by some other kids, and she got stung.

Then she calls out ingredients as I see if we have them or need them, and then we make a trip to the store to buy the rest. Sunday night, Monday, and Tuesday go pretty well, and then things start to break down. Thursday is usually leftover night, but of course there was a meal planned for that night so we resolve to cook it the next day. With Friday comes the laziness of the weekend and we usually end up eating sushi, so another meal goes uncooked. Saturday is a free for all, no planned meals, but still lots of leftovers to eat.<BR/><BR/>This is why we've had bok choy in our fridge, waiting to be used in a meal, for three weeks.acwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06150082760630248973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19050282.post-1602928571547838652007-07-12T07:40:00.000-05:002007-07-12T07:40:00.000-05:00Hahaha.

It must end here though, as this level of organization, however short-lived, makes my brain bleed. I am proud of myself when I take something out to defrost for dinner before lunch.
