Done.  Someone commented on it today, and I realize that I may have been whining.  It is possible.  And while not without reason, I hate whining.  Ask my kids how empathetic I am in response to a whine.  It&#8217;s not pretty.  Besides, having free time is overrated.  My kids might have decent haircuts if that were the case, and what a shame that would be.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\">We drove down to Mankato yesterday to pick up our newest baby.  She&#8217;s green, this one.  I like her a whole lot.  She&#8217;s an old Suzuki motorcycle.  The Suzuki brings our motorcycle count to two.  That puts us one closer to the seven I told Ole he needed when we got married.  I know Ole&#8217;s looking forward to the restoration process, as am I.  I like making old things new.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><br clear=\"all\"><strong>Monday \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/theduckquacking.blogspot.com\/2009\/08\/honey-roasted-spiced-pumpkin-and-carrot.html\" target=\"_blank\">Pumpkin and carrot soup<\/a>, homemade bread (I&#8217;ve declared Monday to be soup night until further notice.)<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><strong>Tuesday \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/recipes\/chicken-alfredo-calzones\" target=\"_blank\">Chicken alfredo calzones<\/a> on spring mix<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><strong>Wednesday \u2013 <\/strong>Chicken <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whats4eats.com\/breads\/arepas-recipe\" target=\"_blank\" >arepas<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourbestbites.com\/2009\/01\/baked-sweet-potato-fries.html\" target=\"_blank\">sweet potato fries<\/a>, lime butter corn<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><strong>Thursday \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/recipes\/wish-i-was-there-mediterranean-pasta\" target=\"_blank\">Mediterranean pasta<\/a>, spring mix salad, french bread<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><strong>Friday \u2013 <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thespicehouse.com\/recipes\/sauerbraten-recipe\" target=\"_blank\">Sauerbraten<\/a>, red cabbage, <a href=\"http:\/\/riannanworld.typepad.com\/my_weblog\/2006\/07\/potato_dumpling.html\" target=\"_blank\">potato dumplings<\/a> (My ultimate comfort food.)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Recipes to look for here at <a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Food for My Family<\/a> this week: <a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/recipes\/cardamom-gingered-apple-crisp\" target=\"_blank\">Cardamom apple crisp<\/a>, roast turkey, roasted salsa and exciting news!<\/p>\n<p><center>For more menu plans:<\/center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/orgjunkie.com\/category\/menu-plan-monday\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/orgjunkiempm1.jpg\" alt=\"orgjunkiempm1\" title=\"orgjunkiempm1\" width=\"306\" height=\"145\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/orgjunkiempm1.jpg 306w, https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/orgjunkiempm1-300x142.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<div style=\"border-width: 3px; border-style: dotted; border-color: black; \"><center>Never miss a recipe!
