Cauliflower's Revenge (or Mom's)

No, not like that.
Actually, we did really well today with the pantry eating.

Breakfast
We all had whole-wheat pancakes with blueberries on top. Our favorite way to do that is to fill a quart jar with blueberries, dump it in a frying pan with a little butter & vanilla, & saute them til they are soft. Mmmmm. We have a lot of blueberries still. We got 40 pounds last summer (all in a big bucket in the deep freeze, blueberries are cool that way, easy to store), and are down to about hmmm--15? I'm not worried that we won't use those. We like them WAY too much! Plus, if there are any left when it's time to pick again, I'll just make jam, as my kids' favorite jam to put on their yogurt is a blueberry/strawberry blend. I got raspberries from the farm last year and added those as well. It was soooo good.

I found a homemade whole wheat pancake mix I think I'll post later. It calls for powdered milk, and after talking to a friend I realized that I store it but don't use it. As often as we make pancakes and waffles, this would be a good way to use it up and justify keeping it on hand.

Lunch
Stephen took leftovers, I think Lentil Lasagna & the last piece of that Gorgonzola pizza. He said the pizza didn't reheat well. Again, another reason not to buy it.

For the kids and I: Egg salad--for them on whole wheat bread, for me on the last 2 Ryvita crackers...couldn't let them go to waste! Cauliflower for all of us. But, the kids claimed they didn't like it, sooooo....

Dinner
French bread dipped in (ahem) cheese. Ingredients?
Boiled head of cauliflower & one carrot (for color, really), pureed in it's water, add 2 C chicken stock, a dash or two of Worcestershire, and a cup of milk. Enough flour to make thick (after simmering)--about 1/3 Cup, then 2 Cups of sharp cheddar, shredded. Ha ha. They ate the cauliflower anyway.
