Menu for Week 06
February 4, 2008
My 9th week with – 
with Laura’s I’m an Organizing Junkie.
Sunday: Potluck Super Bowl Party!
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Chicken Pizzaioli, sauteed potatoes, fennel salad
Wednesday: Picadillo, rice, salad
Thursday: Wild Mushroom soup with sage croutons
Friday: Teriyaki Salmon, asparagus, salad
Saturday: Bowtie pasta w/ artichoke hearts & shrimp
It has been helpful to have the menu for the week done in a timely fashion and online. I’ve actually checked it when I’m out and about to see if there is anything I need to pick up at the grocery store. I still haven’t been consistent about making a weekly shopping list or putting some of the recipes online. I’m getting a little frustrated with linking to Laura’s website – getting connected takes too long and I think there’s a tracking cookie.

Domestic Arts
December 10, 2007
I’ve been struggling with what I put on my blog(s). I started this one to deal with posting issues each November when I participate in DrawMo! I had thought I would use this space to talk/ramble about what I’m doing with my artwork but during the last few weeks I’ve decided that blog I keep on blogger is where I’ll keep the vast majority of what I’m working on and where I’ll do my “show and tell” stories. I’ve been hoping to have a place to keep track of the domestic arts: cooking, home management and planning leisure time.
Have decided to join the Meal Plan Monday folks over at Laura’s I’m an Organizing Junkie.
Sunday: Lentil Soup and bread
Monday: Bake Potatoes with broccoli, cheese and bacon
Tuesday: Latkes, applesauce and Spinach Ricotta Pie
Wednesday: Lemon Chicken and delicata squash
Thursday: Pasta Bake with Lamb sausage
Friday: Chicken Cheese Sauce, rice and broccoli
Saturday: Leftovers
This will also give me the opportunity to experiment more with WordPress and figure out it’s pros and cons.
