Week 80 Menu...I'm Back (kind of)

Hello everyone! Sorry I've been so quiet this week. No Internet access at our cottage on the Cape and, I must admit, it was a welcome repose. Sadly, our Cape week is over. Here's Anna hopping a boat back to real life.


I'm actually still traveling for the next 10 days, but it's going to be quieter time with family, and perhaps even some cooking? We shall see...

MONDAY:
- Clam Chowder at Jamie's Pub in North Scituate, MA

TUESDAY:
- See if I can convince Grammy to let me cook for her

WEDNESDAY:
- Jack Johnson concert!

THURSDAY:
- Driving to NJ...hopefully my mama will have a lovely dinner waiting...hint hint :)

FRIDAY-SUNDAY:
- With family in NJ

Last week was awesome...so many menus and comments! (I will certainly be perusing your menus if I actually DO cook this week). It's time once again to post your menus...bring it on!

jnjmwbcje I miss the cape already! Glad to see that you fulfilled your promise to yourself and got back to work. Much easier said than done. After you gave me your spiel about how much you love my commenting so often I felt compelled to leave a short note. See you, and your two beautiful children tomorrow : ) -SB
