Since Thursday’s dinner<\/a>, as usual, I’ve been using up leftovers for meals en famille<\/em>. We are hosting an AFS student from the Netherlands this semester, and she arrived on Friday night. We ate the Spanish country soup<\/a> that Mark made last weekend (for the Downton Abbey 2-hour season premiere), along with leftover borscht and cheese bread and black bread<\/a> and veggies & dip. Saturday morning, after the farmers market, I made pumpkin-dried cranberry muffins for breakfast. Saturday evening, our Dutch student met up with some other international students – who came in the fall – and went to the West HS basketball game. So she and I snacked on boiled eggs and beets and cheese (some purchased at the indoor market that morning). Later, after the game, we had streusel-topped apple pie with ice cream. I still think it’s a little too much streusel.<\/p>\n

Since today is Sunday of a three day weekend, we are being a little lazy. Waiting for it to warm up to pursue outdoor activities, and trying to activate an old iPhone for our student. Ethan got picked up at 8:00 to drive back to Minnesota and college with his mom. I folded laundry, and made cherry-stuffed French toast for breakfast. I’m going to have to do actual work work later today, setting up my online courses that will start on January 23rd<\/a> while I am at the ALA conference<\/a>. And of course, all Wisconsin is in anticipation for the Packers\/Giants game this afternoon.
