Today is Martin Luther King, JR Remembrance Day:  peace and justice be with you!

To celebrate Hubby got the day off.  Actually, Hubby gets the day off because his employer got a few concerned looks when they didn’t observe the day, so after two plus weeks of vacation, he gets a long weekend.  Makes sense. 

I, however, did not get a notice from my employers that I got the day off and therefore forgot that he had the day off (because everything relates to me, obviously), so it was a bonus for me.  But when taking into consideration planning for meals, I try to be a little more Adult-Like in my choices when he’s around (not Adult-Like as in Adult-Video-Like, just not “let’s make people out our salad parts” like).  So today he’s gotten to enjoy Gingerbread French Toast for breakfast (which someone could not comprehend that it wasn’t Gingerbread Men Toast, but ate it even though it lacked the form of a homo sapien) and Two-Color Nachos for lunch – not too shabby.

Last week, as I said, went fairly well.  I got some definite “mmmm”s from the Cheeseburger Pizzas and the Pumpkin Soup from the Hubby.  The Midde Man ate his weight in Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Pancakes.  The Littlest One decidedly does NOT like pancakes.  And only likes waffles as a vehicle for getting sugar-free syrup to his dainty, petite shrieking mechanism.  Joyous.  I switched out the Sweet Potato Enchilads for Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos and have found a new happy place for my belly.  Must make a batch for the freezer.

This week we are enjoying a selection from Mollie Katzen’s Honest Pretzels.  And honest to goodness, I’m going to try to make her preztels. Wish me luck:  yeast and I aren’t often on speaking terms.
