This is sort of a strange week to plan since there isn’t much to plan!  Lance and I had a conversation about beef stew while we were stranded in Pennsylvania.  This, combined with Art being out of town for the next two weeks on business travel, inspired me to add beef stew to the menu for after Art leaves.  (He’s not a fan of beef stew, you see.) 

I’m also planning on starting a new tradition of sushi and ice cream while watching the election returns come in on Tuesday night.  I plan to stay up as long as I need to for results, so I’ll need a lot of sushi and ice cream. 

I’m not entirely sure about Wednesday night yet, it’ll depend on what we’ve got in the fridge.  I don’t want to cook up something that will generate leftovers because no one will be home to eat them until Monday night! 

The really exciting part of the meal plan is Thursday night at Alinea.  We’re super excited about going out to Chicago and getting to start our event weekend with such an amazing experience.
