But this Saturday, somewhere between taking the gerbil to the Vet, preparing my Burger Mix, retrieving Toni from the vet and finishing all the cooking I had a precious moment of calm with the Trainer. When I got home with Toni, he said put him to bed and come here and patter the bed. I went and laid my head on his stomach. A feeling of peace engulfed me and all the little hamsters running in my head stopped one by one. I remember thinking to myself this moment is precious, don't let it go. The next thing I new I was waking up as the Trainer tried to slip away to eat one of his numerous mini-meals.
Along the way this weekend I also found a new Munch Box. I've been enamoured of the concept of the Japanese Bento Box, but unable to find one that suited me, I found this combination at a local dollar store that seems most suitable. I am inordinately pleased with this new Munch Box. As the Trainer points out, I'm taking lunch and dinner, so I can't really call it a lunch box and it's not really a bento box either.
Here it is all packed for Monday (the little cups do have lids too): Today, Sunday, I caught up with Alyssa and went to the matinee of the new Stars Wars animated movie, The Clone Wars and had a nice early dinner before hitting the gym. She, a Star Wars aficionado, found many faults with the movie. I went to watch a movie and I enjoyed it. The new Jedi student Ahsoka is really cute, and in a way, inspiring.

I've never bothered with a menu plan because things always change, but I suppose it's at least a good guideline to try to achieve. By the way, I've noticed you've got like 8 blogs! How do you keep up with them all? Is this the main one?
Good luck with the SCD - read the books first while you're working your way through your forbidden foods. Because once you've read the books you may want to pack it all away for later. I sent all my painstakingly collected artisanal gluten free flours to another blogger - in case I cried every time I saw them.
Thanks for adding me into your weekly menu.

I never really bothered with a menu either, but since I'm barely home during the week, it helps to plan and cook on the weekends.

Your soups are fantastic! I'll be trying more. I won't fully be able to start the SCD until I return from holiday, but I'll follow the guidelines as much as I can. I don't have much of a store of gluten free flours, since the Trainer isn't a fan of baked goods, but I'll keep what I need to make his pancakes. Better he be gluten free if I can't get him SCD yet.
Michele-
Thanks for stopping by, try the soups!

I post most things on the main page, and use the other pages for archiving or items I want to link back to, like the recipes
