December 20th - December 27th

Well, I really do not have much of a plan for this week. Last night and tonight we kept it simple, last night was chicken stir fry with white rice and tonight we had tacos. Tomorrow is Gene's birthday, so (weather permitting) we'll go out to eat..he's mentioned a few places he'd like to go, so we'll see. All of my attention has been on planning our menu for Christmas dinner (which I just did EARLY this morning). So, I'm sorry that I can't give you all ideas this week...but, I'll let ya know what we'll be eating for our Christmas dinner, which will be here. We are planning on 12 for dinner, but there could be as many as 18!
