Today was a busy day. Ted took the day off so we could attend morning meeting and Claire's school. Then we had the apple picking field trip. Dance class started for all three mudgies tonight. And I had to babysit one of their dance friends.
Now, I knew this in advance. And yesterday when I made my master meal plan to utilize the food we already have, I wisely decided to make beef stew today. Put it in the crock pot and let it cook all day. We would still be tired from a long day, but we could come home after dance and with minimal fuss, sit down to a nutritious family meal.
Ahem. The problem was that I entirely forgot to do it. So we returned from dance class and I looked at the crock pot. Surprisingly, the stew did not make itself. So we had last minute hot dogs and grapes and pretzels. Not exactly what I hoped for. And no where near as nutritious. But we did eat a the dining room table as a family. That's somethin', right?
Spent $4 today for apples. We'll have beef stew tomorrow and some yummy apple crisp. I think I'll have to use some of our grocery budget for some staples, we're completely out of eggs among other things.
