Thursday (other daughter's night)
cookout of hotdogs in buns and various salads (and no, it wasn't warm enough for a cookout -- we froze, but my daughter really wanted to have a cookout)
Wednesday's tuna and tofu sandwiches were quite good, and absolutely no one at the table noticed the tofu. (I used tofu to add protein while stretching the tuna.)
My mind is fried as I type this up. On Thursday, I woke up a couple of hours earlier than usual after hearing a plane fly over our house. We live near a small airport that just began commercial flights a year ago. The commercial flights are not supposed to begin for the day until 6 AM. This was around 5 AM that I heard a plane. It must have been one of Boeing's, which do occasionally fly at odd hours. (Boeing has a major plant near us (using the same airfield), and they run shifts around the clock.) I got up and didn't realize it was just after 5 until I was in the kitchen making coffee. Anyway, I'm just not functioning well.
It was a good week, although very busy. I'm making a large pot of chicken soup today, some to eat for dinner and some to freeze. Now that we've gone through most of the blackberries that we foraged last summer, we have quite a bit of space in one of the freezers -- room for some homemade freezer meals.

I hope your week was a good one. What was on your menu? Any special plans for the weekend?
