Sometimes I think a weekend sans a couple of family members is somehow more difficult than when everyone is home. My husband took our two oldest up to our family camp and helped my father with maple sugaring this weekend. The sap isn’t running too well yet but they did manage to eek out a couple of gallons. So I was at home with the 5 year old and 4 year old and feel like I didn’t stop for one minute ALL.WEEKEND.LONG. It doesn’t help that I can’t sleep when my husband isn’t here so I’ve been running on empty for a few days. And I stayed up too late watching Gordon Ramsay’s F Word. This is the first time I’d seen this show and I loved it. Loved it!

My Menu for the week thus far, such as it is:

Monday - Venison tenderloin and a couple of miscellaneous steaks. The husband brought home some food from camp that had thawed and needs to be eaten ASAP. Probably garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli will round out the meal.

Tuesday - Math Night at my children’s school. They are providing pizza and salad to entice more families to attend.

Wednesday - Scalloped potato and ham casserole. An easy dish that my children will eat too. Always a winner.

Thursday - Stuffed sole (courtesy of Omaha Steaks - they’re actually pretty good), long grain and wild rice and asparagus.

Friday - Haddock, twice baked potatoes and tossed salad.
