Menu for October 7-12, 2018

When I cook, I leave everything in the pots or pans that I cook them in and serve dinner in like a buffet-style.  So, if we want seconds, we have to get up from the table and go to the stove to get more.  I don't know why--my mom always put everything in serving dishes and brought everything to the table.  I think I do it my way because it's less dishes to clean up after dinner.  Anyhow.  Adam has requested a big "Sunday Family Dinner" every Sunday with all of the food on the table.  And carbs.  Because we don't eat a lot of carbs.  #old
