What do I need to buy to fix everything on this menu? We don't need no stinkin' badges groceries. ;-) There won't be any grocery shopping until September at this point.
What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?
Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?
Any great deals on food at your stores this week?
Sounds delicious, Sluggy. I still need to add BLts to our menu.
ReplyDeleteWhat will happen to the tomatoes when you leave?
ReplyDeleteI wish I could pick your tomatoes while you are gone.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week, easy packing and a hassle free trip to the cruise ship!
I had somebody recommend zucchini hummus soup to me the other day for our giant one. Super tasty! Well worth using them for.
