Pulled pork nachos. Obviously this was an easy and super delicious dinner, if not the most well-rounded, nutrition wise. I served them with a mango-pineapple salsa I had made earlier in the week, and that provided a really nice bright counterpart to the richness of the pork.

 I made chicken stock from our chicken on Sunday, so used that to make a simple chicken soup (carrots, onions, celery, garlic, egg noodles and a little lemon). Served with the last of the dinner rolls and a little parm on the side. I remembered that in my last round of chicken soup the vegetables were unpleasantly crunchy, so made sure (for Carter's and my sake; Jason doesn't care) that didn't happen again.

 After the enormous meal we had Sunday, the fridge was stuffed to the gills. So leftovers.

Sunday, 5/9/21

 Carter didn't have to work today, so I decided it was time to roast a chicken. And also: stuffing, mashed potatoes, broccoli casserole, sweet potatoes, rolls, and gravy. Hey, we love a Thanksgiving. The rolls were from Jason, of course, and the stuffing was a doctored up box from Aldi; I didn't have the ingredients for green bean casserole, so made a different kind with broccoli instead (basically macaroni and cheese, except broccoli). Way too much food, but I will take any excuse to have gravy.

Saturday, 5/8/21

 We had a late and enormous lunch (BBQ in Millers Falls: excellent) with my dad, Corrina, and some of Dad's friends. It was so filling that we never ate dinner at all. Just a little ice cream (and honestly, I wasn't even hungry still).

Friday, 5/7/21

 Cocktail hour in person at Jennie and David's! Well, outside, anyway (a little too brisk for it, but baby steps). Jason brought bread, and we snacked a little. Enough to not really want dinner when we got home, so just more snacking. SO nice not to be Zooming.

Thursday, 5/6/21

 Pizza with Jason's parents. We brought the halvah brownies, and I was worried that they might be too odd, but they were a hit. Good to test them out on someone else!
