Christopher and I left for town this morning shortly before 9. It appeared to be a beautiful sunshine day. Fairly warm so we just wore light jackets. We were doing our errands and went into a building to renew our vehicle tags. We were in there maybe 10 minutes. When we came out it was raining big, fat drops. We were drenched by the time we reached the car. We did a few more errands in the rain (Christopher decided the grocery store was out for today) and came home. A few minutes after we got here the rain turned to snow and the temperature has dropped. Right now it is snowing sideways and in the mid 30’s.
Last week I told you about how the Gnowfglins Fundamental’s eCourse would be starting up again and this time Wardeh would be offering open enrollment. The Fundamental’s eCourse is a simple plan to help you learn how to cook traditional foods. It is an online multi lesson course and is wonderfully detailed and easy to follow. It is the kind of lesson plan I wish I would have had when I first struggled at cooking traditional foods. Today Wardeh announced even bigger news. Soon the Gnowfglins eCourse will be available to everyone regardless of income (the course payment will be on a donation basis) or schedule. Please visit this post by Wardeh to learn more about this exciting eCourse and the changes involved with it.
This is the final week of school. The girls will have a half day on Friday. Joe is still working long days but soon he will go to his summer schedule which will be four days a week with each day being a 10 hour shift. I’m struggling with my meal plan for this week. I usually plan a month at a time but since this is the beginning of the new month for me the planning process kind of snuck up on me. Often for my week I will plan to cook a large cut of meat on Sunday and use that for a few meals or cook a big pot of beans. This week, we decided on fish on Sunday and I needed to use up some beans for Monday so the rest of the week is a struggle. Here is what I came up with;
