Reality has set in and on a Monday at that! Our beach trip was terrific…not oil. Thanks, God. The ten-hour trip home was followed closely for Hubby with a business trip to Annapolis and a trip to NWA for me to check on the condo renovation. Needless to say, we were both tired and ready to be home by Sunday. It’s always good to be home.
For some reason, not that I’m technologically challenged mind you – oh, no – not me, the PC won’t go on the wireless network. I’m too lazy to go upstairs to the old desktop, so I’m using the Mac again to blog. I’m so spoiled with Windows Live Writer for blogging! All my pictures, blogging notes, etc. are on the PC so I’m having to do this somewhat handicapped. Even whining, but it is Monday:)
It’s also time for Menu Plan Monday even though I’m late in getting posted. I always enjoy what everyone else is planning for the week. Some of these bloggers are soooooooooo organized. Impressive.
I know you’ll be interested in what others have to say as well. Check it out.
Our dinner menu this week:
Monday: We enjoyed a true delight of the summer season – bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches! We wait all year for those fresh Arkansas tomatoes. I don’t even want to be reminded of the calories or fat grams. Ya’ just gotta’ love them. The fresh Hardin Farms cantaloupe that I picked up today at Argenta Market was sweet and oh so delicious alongside the sandwich. Eat your heart out!
Tuesday: I have inservice all day, so Hubby is grilling hamburgers. That’s another great reason to celebrate summer – the real grilling season. We’ll probably enjoy some more of that cantaloupe and another seasonally fresh tomato. My mouth is watering already.
Wednesday: It’s time for fried okra, fresh homegrown new potatoes with garlic and onions, grilled corn and purple hull peas. No meat needed. Just a big pan of cornbread with butter.
**Be sure to come join me for this week’s edition of What’s On the Menu Wednesday.**
Have I told you how much I love Summer?
Thursday and Friday: Plans are indefinite. I may be driving up to NWA to fetch Perfect Girl for a week of Nana Camp. Today or Friday. Haven’t decided. Since I cleaned out the big freezer today and got it all organized AGAIN, I’m not worried about finding something to grill or stir fry for whichever night I’m home.
Saturday: Perfect Girl gets to pick:)

Josh and I had the exact same thing for supper tonight…BLTs and cantaloupe. I also made cold pasta salad to eat with it. It was very good!!
Hope you have a good week!!
Thanks for stopping by! I love all your southern meals! Makes me miss Texas! I would love to eat a good BLT and sip some sweet tea with you. 😉
Love BLT sandwiches. You asked for the corn soup and roasted corn guacamole recipe. It’s here

Have a great week.
Menu planning was a real challenge for me too, but I recently found this great software that has helped simplify my life a lot! Cook’n Recipe Organizer makes planning my meals easy. I just input my recipe, Put it on a weekly menu, and Cook’n can print out my menu, and even generate a shopping list for me. It has made planning meals extremely easy, and has already helped me save money.
