This is sort of a strange week because of the number of times I won’t be cooking dinner.  I have a voice recital for day #1 and we’re going out to eat with my parents afterward.  On day #3 I’ve got a choir concert and I’ll be eating with my choirmates after the concert so the guys will be fending for themselves for dinner.  Then there’s day #5 which is the normal leftover night due to choir and even though I don’t have choir this week due to winter break, I’ll be meeting up with some friends on Thursdays until choir starts back up again.  Phew.  Busy times!  

Every other meal is planned for using up foods from the freezer.  All the meats are from the freezer and I’ve already got buttermilk and butternut squash.  I’m really working hard to make a dent in our stored foods even as I’m cooking beef broth that will fill the freezer back up!  (My fourth, and last, batch of broth is working away in the slow cooker right now.  I’ll be able to finish up The Great Beef Brothing of 2014 tomorrow.)
