Menu Plan: July 7 - 13
Summer is here at last! I am not one to complain about the heat. 102˚ is infinitely better than 32˚ and 10˚ and -24˚. So, I relish and enjoy our summers. It is going to be hot enough this week that we have installed the air conditioning units. Our house doesn't have a/c, so we put in three window units and direct the air with fans.
We are celebrating a birthday this week, but even so, we are doing as much cooking/baking in the mornings and using the grill, pressure cooker and slow cooker to make as much of our food as possible, to avoid heating up the house so much. Our ice cream maker is also coming in handy, as we will be making sorbets and other treats this week.
Dominic and Shawn will only be here a few more days, but we are enjoying the time with them while we can. It has been fun having both our daughters in law here, and sharing their pregnancies.
