Monday - Pulled Pork Burritos
Tuesday - Shrove Tuesday pancake dinner at St. John's - Swing by for great pancakes and other fat Tuesday goodies and watch your very own Domestic Delinquent Sling hash...or pancakes or whatever
Wednesday - Slow cooker italian meatball soup (Can I avoid burning in the fiery pits of hell if I don't eat the meatballs?)
Thursday - leftover soup (I have to get to eat it eventually!!)
Friday - Tuna Noodle Casserole.
So, I do try to be observant during Lent. I TRY not to eat meat on Fridays, but this presents certain challenges. My kids are all under the age of 14 and are therefore (technically) exempt from the rules of fasting, my husband is not particularly religious and is also therefore exempt. So, in the end, I'm the only one fasting and there are times where something's got to give and I end up with a meal of bread and cheese.
Also....I try to give something up for lent. Generally that something is chocolate. I've never made it. One year I made it to the very last week...but then my birthday fell about 5 days before Easter and someone bought me a chocolate cake. Now at the best of times when you put a cake in front of me I'm going to eat it. Couple that with the fact that I was turning 30 (yes the big 3-0) and I didn't have a chance. I ate that bugger before I knew what I was doing.
I'm not sure what to give up this year. I'm considering sleeping or oxygen, just so long as I can have my chocolate.
Stopping in from MPM! I am not Catholic, so giving up chocolate is not something I have to live through. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI understand your pain. I am still trying to decide what I want to give up for Lent. Last year it was Facebook. That was very difficult and tempting. I found you through Menu Plan Monday. Good luck with your sacrifices. I like your menu plan...here is a link to mine. Best Wishes....Sam http://www.samanthaandersenphotography.com/2012/02/one-of-those-weeks.html
