I'm exhausted, y'all. We had a houseful of people, and I realized for the first time that introverts don't just get emotionally drained by being with gobs of people; we become physically drained as well. Cheers to learning new things (although one would think I would have learned this earlier in life--I guess I never noticed before)! Not that I don't love visiting with family--it just happens to be a lot of exhausting work, too.
Another thing I learned is that Bubby's bedroom is much more conducive to sleeping-in than mine is. I thought I was no longer capable, after years of children waking me up before 6 a.m., of sleeping past 7. But the combination of sleeping in Bubby's bedroom, along with the people-induced exhaustion, proved me wrong. I'm thinking of asking him to switch with me.
You would think, after feeding up to 11 people three meals a day for 7 days, that it would be difficult to think about food. You would be right. This week, we will have even fewer people around than normal. Hopefully it'll be a good recovery week. Here's what's on the menu:
Supper:
- Pizza (sauce, crust), salad
- Wild rice casserole, green beans, applesauce
- Beef & potato stew, rolls
- Chicken broccoli braid (we use 1/2 t each celery salt, garlic powder, dill seed, and dill weed instead of 2 t all purpose dill mix), mandarin oranges
- Nachos, guacamole, taco toppings (what toppings to you like on your nachos?)
- Hamburgers, buns, chips, carrots
- Chicken nuggets, mixed vegetables, pears
- Beef stroganoff, green beans, applesauce
Other (I'm not really sure I'll feel up to making anything extra, but just in case I do, I wanted to get these down, so I remember what the extra things I wanted to make are):
- Cinnamon rolls
- Oatmeal chocolate chip walnut cookies
- Rolo pretzels
- Turkey stock
- Canned black and pinto beans
