Menu Plan Monday- August 11


Saturday we made a trip to Dublin, GA to visit my sister, Ann, and her husband, Thomas. (More on this trip in a later post--with pictures.) They own a large farm. We went to pick up a whole hog that they got for us. Before we left, they loaded us up with eggplant, figs, and tomatoes from their garden. I have another sister, Carla, who lives in a rental house on Ann & Thomas' land. Carla sent us home with 7 dozen eggs from her chickens. Needless to say, the menus this week are using meat from our over-stuffed freezer and other items from our trip.

Monday
BBQ pork ribs
Oven fries
Watermelon (Also from Carla)

Tuesday
Eggplant Parmesean (trying new recipe)
sliced tomatoes
carrot sticks

Wednesday
Bacon
eggs
grits
Orange juice

Thursday
Chicken and rice

green peas
sliced tomatoes
Watermelon (if any left)

Friday
Homemade pizza
salad

Saturday
Leftovers

Have a great week!

Great menu! You'll have to let us know about the eggplant parm recipe. I love eggplant esp. grilled. Just wanted to let you know I'm giving away coupons on my blog so stop by and comment if you are interested.

Hi Lisa,

I stumbled onto your blog while trying to look up your and Tom's number. I needed to check in with you guys and see how you are doing.

I read about Tom's appendicitis, I hope he is doing well and enjoying teaching.

Your sewing is awesome. Looks like a great hobby turned business. Are you still working with the eye surgery clinic?

My life has changed a little since we last spoke. I got married in October of 06 and in November of 07
Julia and I celebrated the birth of our beautiful little girl Gabrielle. She's awesome and growing way too fast. If you don't mind shoot me your email and I'll send you a few pictures.

We're really thrilled to have her with us. She looks a little too much like her daddy but I'm hoping she'll grow out of that and look more like her Mom.

Please tell Tom I said hello and I'll give you guys a call in the next day or two.

Take care,

Alan
