C & D Week Dinners

Last Sunday we had our C week dinner.

On Thursday we had our D week dinner.

C week went better than D week.

Brandt and Blythe both helped with dinner preparations.

Here we are cutting up carrots.  

Blythe is using a butter knife and not having very much success.

Safe though. 

Dinner was:

Chicken salad on croissants.

Cheese and crackers.

Cabbage salad with "crunchies" which is what I have called raw veg since Brandt was little.

Cheating, you say?  Not quite.

In addition to the cabbage, there was carrot, cucumber, and cauliflower.

Cranberry juice to drink. 

For dessert:

Carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting,

sprinkled with coconut or crystallized sugar.

For D week, we combined our "crafty" sort of activity with dinner.

Together we made dough.

Then we made dough boys (really scones, but cut out in boy shapes), 

had them for dinner with a bit of salad and fruit, and called it our D week meal.

Is that cheating?

Probably.

I was going to make Dijon chicken and dal, but Kent said I needn't go overboard, 

especially as the children weren't likely to eat either.

Any idea where I could find dragon fruit?

We'll roll it . . . 

And cut it . . .  

And fry it in oil.

Served with a "dip" of honey butter.
