Noah and I stopped by Fiesta foods on the way home from kindergarten and before violin lessons. There were some good deals. I love cheap milk.
And it has been too long since we had broccoli, so Noah picked out some of his favorite "trees".
I was planning to purchase some of the head lettuce you see here, but the romaine below was even better.
Noah weighed several packages. They came in 3-packs, so it was 3/$.79. He loves to use the scale.
We found a large variation in weights, and chose only romaine packages that weighed over 2 pounds. The iceberg heads were small and weighed 1 pound or less. We left them at the store...
foxy...
And tasty. This is the best, sweetest romaine we've had all year.
I made a soup which could simmer while we were away at lessons. I also made some bread dough, but forgot to put in yeast, so we substituted crackers for supper. Kate added the yeast later, and we baked the bread in the late evening, after I got home from my teaching.

Sorry about the lack of pictures of the hash. I left early from supper to teach a class, and missed a chance for pictures.
