food eaten around here in a week, part 7

okay - last installment...

Our church requests that on the first sunday of the month, we fast for two meals, giving the money we would have spent to the poor.  pregnant or nursing mothers are not supposed to do fast, so the food ratios here are for me and the kids, not my husband until dinner (where he had a grilled cheese sandwich hidden away in his office to avoid the smell of fish.   he REALLY REALLY dislikes seafood, but does not want our children to have his "food issues", so I am allowed to make fish for me and the kids as long as I feed him first.)

breakfast: 1 c hard white wheat berries, cracked, 2 T honey, 1/4 c butter, 5 pieces of toast

lunch: 3 grilled cheese sandwiches, 3 salads, lots of cheese slices for the baby (okay, they were small pieces, but it seemed like she was continually asking for them)

dinner: grilled cheese sandwich, 1 lb salmon; 2 T broth, 1 T lemon juice, 2 T cream, 1 cube butter = fish sauce; 2 c peas; leftover rice w/ shredded mexican blend cheese; 4 pieces toast


now, I have dutifully recorded that which we ate this week.  I need to pull it all together and a) see how much of stuff we ate, and b) total cost.  that should be interesting.

I don't like the smell of fish either and I'm allergic so though I hesitantly make fish for my family minimum 2x per week. Your menu this week sounded great. Let us know how much you spent.

Thanks for explaining ....that food I can't spell right! Interesting concept about fasting and using the $ for missions, etc.....just not sure I'd know how to deal with a church 'requesting' it. Suggesting, maybe. Or modeling....but requesting would get into that whole 'who is MY Holy Spirit?
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
