Monthly Menu April 2021

 

There are a few positive things in my life that have come from this Covid pandemic. Finally keeping a full monthly menu is one of them! Another is getting my former job back via telecommuting. If I had my ideal work situation (and when do we ever get any ideal situation?), I would work 4 hours a day, Mon-Thur, for 40 weeks out of the year. Doesn't that sound  nice? Twelve weeks of vacation, plenty of time to do other things during the day, a three day weekend. Yes, that would be nice. Oh, and working from home. Maybe if the government staggered due dates, like the way car registration is here in Georgia - our registrations renew on my husband's birthday, so we have anytime between Jan 1 and his birthday to renew. Oh well, I guess my current work situation is the next best thing.

As long as my life keeps looking similar to this, I am  going to keep working on these menus. My goal is to use a particular recipe only once a month. Hahaha, we will see.
