FLTs

Last night we had FLT's (facon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches). We used Smart Bacon with whole foods 365 organic sharp cheddar, light mayonaise (safeway brand?), classic yellow mustard (safeway brand), yummy CSA tomatoes and lettuce, on whole wheat bread (Giant brand). It was filling and deliciuos. Sandwiches with fresh tomatoes are the best right now since the tomatoes are just amazing. For the first time Doris actually tasted and liked the facon. She didn't eat it in the sandwich - just by itself. She's so random in what she eats - this time not eating her favorites (cheese and tomatoes) but instead ate the facon which she's never wanted to touch in the past.

The side dishes were oven fries (with yummy CSA red potatoes and served with generic (Richfood) steak sauce), sauteed veggies (CSA zucchini, onion, garlic, and store bought white mushrooms and dill), and a leftover salad from a few nights ago.

Doris loved the meal so much she decided she wanted to pack it for her lunch. She packed a bunch of individual containers with facon, cheese, veggies, and one of cantaloupe from the fridge (organic cantaloupe on sale at Whole Foods). Getting her involved in food prep usually excites her about the food so hopefully she'll enjoy all of these selections today.

CSA veggies: $2
Bread: 25 cents
Facon: $4
Cheddar: $1
Mushrooms: $1.50
Dill: $1
Random condiments: 20 cents
Total cost for meal: $8.95 ($2.98 per person)

Got some good news last night so for dessert (after putting Doris to bed), I ran to the convenience (read: liquor/lottery) store down the street for some ice cream on a stick. Karen said she really wanted her favorite strawberry shortcake bar, and the best place for that really is a convenience store. I had an oreo bar, though I really considered the ice cream sandwich which is by far my favorite. Either way, a tasty treat. We ate while watching Mad Men on Netflix.

Tonight it's our anniversary (14 years since we met) so we get restaurant food! It won't be as cheap, but we deserve it, right?
