Today started our “Clothing Exchange” day. That’s the day when we trade summer clothes for winter clothes. It is a HUGE job! And one that I really dislike. In case you haven’t noticed, I am not a details person. Look back and see how often the words, “I was going to make _______ , but couldn’t so I made _______” , or “Just dump a glug of vanilla in…” or whatever. Details are not my strong point. I’ll plan all day - just don’t make me execute it!

So it is exhausting to be surrounded with piles of clothing, some coming in, some coming out, and some waiting a year, etc.

But on to my meals!!

Breakfast was eggs and toast. And a banana.

Lunch was leftover spaghetti, or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Some scooped hot apple butter in it instead of jelly, and said it was really good.

Fridays are our “family night”. For years we have had pizza and movies on Fridays. Pizza lends itself to being eaten in the living room on a sheet a lot better than soup. We used to alternate ordering out with frozen pizzas. But, as our family grew, our finances tightened, and we moved where there is no pizza delivery, we had to figure something out. So now we adapt our bread recipe and make Calzones. (Or Cow Zones as my 3 yo son calls them.) Calzones don’t take up as much filling ingredients, and fill them up a lot faster.

We start off making our favorite bread recipe. (See day 2). This time we made it with white flour, and added garlic, basil, and oregano straight to the dough. We rolled out fist sized rolls and put toppings right on them. Then folded them over and sealed them up. Bake in the oven at 425 * and you have Cow Zones. We all love them. There will be leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch.

Have a great weekend!
