Weekly Menu

This week will still be mostly a holiday week for us. The children don't start back to school until Thursday, so we have a few more relaxing days ahead. This will be the first year that we won't have a crowd for New Year's Eve, but we will continue our family tradition of celebrating the evening with appetizers, instead of a big meal. The kids enjoy having munchies all evening -- it makes it more of a party atmosphere. We also have a tradition of eating Cabbage Rolls on New Year's Day, with just a bit of pork mixed in so we can take care of all of the German superstitions (not that we actually believe in any of them) for good luck.

Saturday
Lunch: Bagels and cream cheese
Dinner: Chicken Fingers, Yellow Rice, peas and carrots
UPDATED: I cannot recommend the above linked recipe for Chicken Fingers. Hopefully I've not given anyone a bum steer. My batter peeled right off in the oil, and we ended up with naked deep-fried chicken -- blech. I've no idea what I did wrong, since I followed the recipe. All I managed to do was waste $5 in chicken and a good beer, and make a huge mess on my stove. Bummer! At least Doug is out of town and did not witness my fit with the whole thing.
