This week will be rough!

I volunteered to serve on a SACS school accreditation team on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.  A few weeks after I agreed to this I received an email about a hotel stay on Monday and Tuesday nights!?!  Do what?  The school is only 30 minutes from my house so this seems a little excessive.  Monday is also the night I teach cycling so I had to let the group know I "teach a class".  If they want to think it involves college or something more substantial then so be it.  This little wrinkle in the week will not deter my menu planning or execution of well thought out meals. 
We will also be eating a boatload of lettuce and greens because they are larger than life in the garden!  Anytime I mention salad or anything involving a green then assume I'm washing many little leaves. The strawberries are still coming, the radishes were pulled and I am making some pesto with arugula later this week for the freezer. I also worked like a field hand today putting tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, okra, and asparagus in the garden as well as assorted flowers in pots. No room for the squash yet because of all the blasted lettuce!

Eat on!
