For dinner on Sunday, I roasted a large chicken that I had bought on sale and frozen. It was close to seven pounds. I started it with the bottom side up, roasting at 360 F for 40 minutes, then turned it over and roasted for another hour and 20 minutes. It was not quite done, so I gave it another 15 minutes. It came out just in time for my three loaves of bread to go into the oven. We also had roasted sweet potato chunks that I did in the countertop oven and microwaved frozen peas. I made gravy with the defatted drippings and deglazing, which we will have as part of tomorrow's dinner. All of this baking and cooking generated a lot of dishes. Scott helped me keep up on them, so the clean-up was manageable.

I made muddled mashed potatoes on Monday to go with the leftover roast chicken and gravy that I made yesterday. We also had microwaved fresh broccoli.

Yesterday I made a hamburger and had it with fresh green beans, carrots and mushrooms.

We had more of the roast chicken and finished the muddled mashed potatoes and gravy. We had microwaved frozen peas. These past couple of weeks, we have had more thunderstorm warnings and watches than I can remember. Last week, there was an EF-1 tornado outside of Plymouth, the town where we do our big grocery trips.

I had a tomato sandwich and tomatoes and cucumbers on the side.

We had chicken salad sandwiches on Whole Wheat/Rye/Semolina buns for dinner on Thursday. Yesterday, we topped the filling with mixed greens; today, we topped it with spinach.
