Menu Monday

My mom is coming to visit this week. She's bringing with her a cooler full of meat. That's just how my mom is. For the past few weeks, whenever she sees a really good sale on meat, she's been sticking it in the freezer in anticipation of loading up a cooler to bring it to us. She even borrowed a bigger cooler than she had available, so she could bring us more dead animal parts.

The menu for this week:

Monday: Chicken and rice casserole (made last week; trying to get the freezer cleaned out before mom comes on Wednesday)
Tuesday: Pork and kraut (ditto)
Wednesday: Mom will arrive in the evening. Homemade chicken soup.
Thursday: Whatever mom wants (fallback position is pot roast)
Friday: Whatever mom wants (fallback position is pasta with butter and garlic)
Saturday: Whatever mom wants (fallback position is split pea soup)
Sunday: (mom will be gone) Red beans and rice. We typically need at least a few days of vegetarianism to recover from the meat-heaviness of mom's cooking. :-)
