Weekly menu (1.10.10)

A day late and it looks like this week will be fairly light on leftovers (which means bring on the sandwiches for lunch). We expect to be getting home later than normal on Tuesday night for sure – thus the quick and easy corn dogs.

Monday Dinner
Tacos (ground beef)

Tuesday Dinner
Corny Dogs

Wednesday Dinner
Pot Roast and Mashed Potatoes

Thursday Dinner
Frozen Pizza
Corn

Friday Dinner
Dinner with friends

Saturday Dinner
Small group

And for those of you who are interested, we’ve found a couple keepers over the last two weeks.

Southwestern Turkey Chili (a lot like Taco Soup)

And

Beefy Cheesy Pasta (similar to the boxed meat and pasta meals without the dry cheese/seasoning package)

So what are you planning to eat this week?

The cost of food

We saw Food, Inc. Friday night. It’s a great eye opening story (much along the lines of Michael Pollan’s other work).

Watch the trailer.

Good Magazine has a great two minute video highlighting some of the ideas Food Inc. brings out in the documentary:

Both Food Inc. and the Good video remind me of one thing, “It’s never quite worth what you give up to get it.”

like style made by slaves
like bribes to throw the race
like women who know their place
like an indian casino or a tank of unleaded
it’s never quite worth what you give up to get

What have you given up (or done) — only to find out later it wasn’t quite worth it?

Homemade salisbury steak

Salisbury steak

Got a craving to cook Sunday night and decided to give my hand at some salisbury steak — aka the poor man’s steak and one of my favorite cafeteria meals while growing up.

Yup. I’m the odd one that actually enjoyed salisbury steak from the school cafeteria. It was one of the top cafeteria meals, alongside the rectangular slices of pizza and the giant fried burritos.

It’s interesting how often food is mentioned in Scripture.

We see it parallel our spiritual lives in so many ways.

What goes in, must come out.
Man cannot live on bread alone…
Take and eat, this is my body…

Even the early Christians were known to partake in a “Love Feast” where everyone joined together and shared their meals and life together. I liken it to what Max Fincher calls, “The Gospel of Welcome.”
