Oh whew!  Here I thought Restaurant Week was this coming week, but really it's the next week (8/17-26)...this will work out then.  With my diminished taste and smell, what would be the point of going out to eat?  Hopefully I'll be better by then.

One thing I forgot to mention, in making tacos yesterday I not only made an extra trip to the grocery store, but two, and because they were so close together, I actually drove a bit further (to the Hy-Vee Drug) to pick up the Mayo that I needed, because I was a little embarrassed.

• Emily's Family Pizza Party (they'll stop by on their way back through)
• Bangers & Mash
• All Beef Hot Dogs (Crooked Gap)
• Sloppy Sammys (Crooked Gap beef)
• Chicken and Smoked Sausage Gumbo (after hearing Jenny talk about it while we were making sausage a bit ago, I can't help it, and there was okra at the market)
• Cheesy Farro and Tomato Risotto
