My daughter came home for a visit. On our budget there will be no going out for dinner. So...french omelettes for breakfast. Potato and ham soup for lunch with homemade grilled bread. And some things I have been saving up just for this occasion. I pulled out some steaks I had found for a great price. Mashed potatoes, corn, and sweet and sour carrots. I made her personal fave - banana nut bread (been hiding the walnuts in the back of the freezer) and sent a loaf with her.
Funny thing: I worked really hard to hoard these nice little bits back so that when she got here I would have something nice to serve - you know something besides beans... After we pushed back the plates she looked over at me and said the steaks were delicious but she had thought for sure we would have bean burritos for dinner. Apparently she had been craving bean burritos. Apparently no one in Phoenix makes bean burritos as delicious as we do. Well that kind of gave me the giggles. I could have just served her bean burritos and she would have been just as happy.
