I don’t know about you, but this Monday kicked my butt!

Last week was a long one. And BUSY! I had the first of two homecomings to direct at…truthfully I only know what day it is because it’s marching season. Two more games to go and then I get my Friday nights back! I love marching band, and I love my job, but I’m ready to be indoors in the mornings 😉

This week’s CSA gave us a new surprise or two that we didn’t have last year:

• Tomatoes
• Brussels sprouts!!!
• purple peppers
• greenpeppers
• red cabbage
• jalapeno peppers
• two heads of lettuce
• acorn squash

This weekend we had some friends over for an Italian-themed murder mystery dinner. All of us had a lot of fun and I made homemade pasta the first time. We were worried that we wouldn’t have enough…and ended up with a ton of pasta! Leftovers have gone into some chicken soup, as well as a casserole that I think deserves a post in the near future!

Now amidst all the lesson planning & school work to be done, I need to figure out what to do with that red cabbage. Any ideas?
