It’s our last day of vacation. Last Sunday we explored the marsh in Cohasset. This week? Fun with press-on nails and glamorous headbands!
And the crowd goes wild!
Lest you think we are leaving anyone out of the fun, we do encourage equal opportunity pressing on of nails.
(Big thanks to my sister-in-law Cora for letting me post these photos today. She’s a champ. A very, very glamorous champ.)
We are traveling tomorrow, but then it’s back to real life. I hope I can successfully get back in the groove!
MONDAY:
- Airport food
TUESDAY:

WEDNESDAY:

THURSDAY:

FRIDAY:

SATURDAY:
- Eat out
SUNDAY:

I think that’s a pretty good “easing back into life” menu. We’ll see how well it goes! Thank you for continuing to post your menus the last few weeks even though I didn’t myself. You’re the best! Can’t wait to see your menus for this week!
Hello! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and then count on you to share your own! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
Mmmm. Airport food. I’ve done the Legal Seafood and the Harpoon Tap Room at BOS and both are good…for airport food. I still think JFK’s Terminal 5 has the best food situation at a domestic airport. The Berghoff Cafes at ORD are notable as well, but I think that has more to do with their selection of house microbrews.

M: Pesto portabella mushroom burgers
T: Chicken with salsa verde, assuming I can get my hands on tomatillos
W: Greek vegetable salad with thracian chicken
R: Barbecue spaghetti (http://a1dente.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/wednesday-dinner-barbecue-spaghetti/)
F: Takeout

we’ll be at boston airport dinner time before our flight, so maybe we’ll hit the legal seafood…I miss their chowder!

Coming back from vacation is the worst. And I’m one of those people that allows the thought of the end of vacation to ruin my last day or so (I can never quite enjoy that last day b/c I’m too busy thinking about getting back and how much that sucks).

Welcome back! I’m back from vacation too and it’s tough to find the motivation to grocery shop, much less cook something. But since we were out of hotels for the last eight days, the desire to eat healthy, home-cooked meals has overcome my laziness. Plus, we are having guests every day for the next eight days (three different groups of people!), so I HAVE to grocery shop.

Wednesday: Grilled veggies and couscous with a greek-yogurt and feta sauce.
