A Week in the Life

On Sunday night we did have the leftover pasta.  It was much better the first time we had it.  We may have had a small snack of bread in the afternoon.

I don't have many recipes this week, because it is a full week for me.  I'm teaching 2 days for Culinary Business Academy, I had a customer today and then there is all the miscellaneous stuff. 

Monday was a teaching day.  We had the class in a new space form last month.  Yes, last month was also a new space.  This month Cook's Warehouse in Decatur graciously jumped in and saved the day.  The class was very excited to cook there.  The kitchen is beautiful.  Lecture was at the Holiday Inn in Decatur.  Since this is a long day for me, I had planned grilled cheese sandwiches and green beans for dinner.  I used the bread I made Sunday and they were excellent. 

Tuesday was busy.  I had not looked at my calendar on Monday so had forgotten I needed to make a meal for a family from church.  I already had plans to go to lunch with my friend Scott who recently had knee surgery, so ran to the store and got the ingredients for Turkey Alfredo Casserole and also picked up some gorgeous strawberries, blueberries and raspberries to make a mixed berry salad.

I drove to the wilds of Cumming to pick up Scott and we had a great lunch at Atkins Park Restaurant.  Since Tuesday dinner is "whatever" I decided to have a big lunch and not worry about dinner.  I had the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.  I left Scott at 1 and drove to Chamblee to have my car serviced.  I left there about 3:45, got home, changed and flew to Jazzercise.  After Jazzercise I delivered the meal, I went home and was happy with yogurt for dinner. 

Today I had a customer and cooked for the second time for Barbara and Tom.  They are happy with the meals and we are set for next month.  I came home and had planned spaghetti for dinner, but decided that since we don't Jazzercise on Wednesday, that I would just go ahead and make pasta.  I love the KitchenAid pasta attachment!  It makes it very possible to make fresh pasta during the week.  I think it would be a great Father's Day toy. 

Tomorrow I am teaching again so have taken chicken soup from the freezer.  Love the freezer!  And I think Friday is something with pork cutlets, macaroni and cheese and applesauce.  All is made except for the pork.  So no recipes this week.  This is just cooking.  Sometimes it needs to be easy.
