Apropos of nothing, a quick story: We got home from a dinner out last weekend and Jeff announced to Thomas that he was going to “start a bath” [for Thomas].  Thomas replied “Dada draw Thomas bath”.  Jeff and I both laughed and looked at each other perplexed.  Jeff wondered out loud when Thomas had picked up English mannerisms.  Then I noticed Thomas standing with his crayons and paper drawing water with a blue crayon.  Ah, now we see, he wanted Jeff to draw him a bath.  Now on to the menu.

Thursday:

• My rheumatoid arthritis has seemingly been flaring this past week and I just wasn’t up for the walk to the train for the farmer’s market so Jeff suggested dinner at one of our favorite restaurants.  I was a bit concerned about how Thomas would do.  This is a nice restaurant – the kind with a wine cellar and without a kid’s menu – and it was already 7:30 pm.  But he did great – a perfect dining companion!  Thomas noshed on the fruit from a fruit and cheese platter, tried olives, and enjoyed some of Jeff’s mashed potatoes.

Friday:

• Seasonal vegetable and chevre calzone

Saturday:

• Black bean burgers
• Corn on the cob
• Peach cobbler

Sunday:

• Spicy potato stuffed peppers
• Nann and paneer “pizzas”
• Mango lassi

Monday:

Tuesday:

• Breakfast for dinner.
• Pancakes
• Veggie “sausage” patties
• And if I am feeling ambitious – a tofu and veggie “frittata”

Wednesday:

• Vegetable pot pie with cheddar biscuit crust
