Make Up Your Mind!: What's for Dinner

Planning the menu this week involved a whole lotta hooha. The Child is going to a festival with Boyfriend and his Uncle and we've invited them to dinner after. It took 2 phone calls to nail down which day this was actually happening. And then there is the whole going-back-to-school thing, which means The Child gets to pick the evening meal. And she wanted to cook.

Plus, we're approaching that odd time of the season when it's September and that tends to make all of us think of bigger, more warming food, but it could easily be summer temperatures for weeks yet.

Sometimes it's easier when I just plan the menu on my own. But it's adorable when the Family helps.

Hee, hee, Hat.

Regular ol' tomato soup, JP, with lashings of other yummy stuff. There'll be a recipe soon and trust, even you will be able to make it.

The Boyfriend may someday become "The Son-in-Law" after being treated to THAT dinner.
Tee.
