I want you all to be quiet for a second. Good.
Now … I want you to imagine Weird Al Yankovich singing Eat It! Are you seeing it? Are you hearing it?
You’re welcome. That oughtta be with you for the next few hours.
And yes. Lot’s of leftovers this week. Why the hell not? Especially when it’s Firebroth Soup and Spaghetti & Meatballs!

Eat it! Just Eat it! Open up your mouth and feed it!!!

The only way I can get “eat it” out of my head is by singing “this is the song that never ends it just goes on and on my friend ….” now I have to think of something else to get that one out of my head. Are you being overwhelmed by eggs?
Karen
Heh. Yes I am. Just a few days ago I didn’t have enough to give away. Now … I don’t have anywhere to put them in the fridge. ~ karen!

Your blog is amazing and I love it, but it’s Yankovic. No h. <3 from the lifelong weird al nut.

We did bacon, eggs and toast for dinner tonight and the girls would be very happy to do it again that soon. They love breakfast for dinner any time. We did home made pizza last night which is another favorite. I love the look of the hot soup recipe but it wouldn’t fly here and the left overs wouldn’t so I guess I’m on my own. For some reason knowing what people have planned to eat entertains me no end. It’s kind of like looking in their medicine cabinets although I of course would never do such a thing. LOL

God! I love you! ha ha ha ha hah hahahaha! You just totally made me laugh with that last line….thanks…now I won’t be able to sleep. ha ha ha hahahahahaha!
Marti
Fire Broth! My fav! Making that myself. (Yes, again.)
As for the antojitos that I know are being made somewhere…. I need details.

Can’t WAIT for the day when I can say “Kitchen closed”! ahhhhhhh
Mary Jo
Love your recipes and your blog! I just ordered myself a 2 ft x 3 ft magnetic wood framed blackboard for my kitchen! I CANNOT wait to get it so I write cool things like MENU on mine, too!!
Karen
Magnetic *and* chalkboard? That’s great! ~ karen
Kristin
Where did you find one to order?? I have been searching!
Mary Jo
Yes! It is a porcelain magnetic chalkboard with an oak frame AND a 50 year warranty! I haven’t gotten it yet-should have it next week! They told me the blackboard finish could not be damaged by magnets or liquids! I am SO excited and can’t wait!

Yo Mary Jo.. (rhyming time! woohoo!)
Can you link that magnetic chalkboard?
Very curious…
Mary Jo
Here is the link-you have to choose the size and frame-free shipping! I also had them place the chalk tray on the 24 inch side as I am hanging it vertically. Great folks-call and ask for Kellie-tell her I sent you!

I also chose slate gray (old timey looking) and red oak frame!
Meg
I’m jammin’ man, we love Weird Al in this house! Also, we had fend for yourself nights even when I was growing up. I credit my ability to cook to those nights.
Nancy
We have a breakfast supper here at least once a month Karen..so I could use some of your overflow of eggs..Spaghetti and meatballs is always a winner!! Also since my son is grown up (23 next month) and can cook for himself I get a lot more nights off..

I agree with Gayla, it’s highly entertaining looking at what other people are planning to eat! This house is weird when it comes to food- 1 vegan, 1 vegetarian, 1 who doesn’t eat fish chicken or eggs, and 1 who loves fish chicken and eggs, and finally 1 who eats most everything.
So, 5 different dinners each day! I cook something that I like, then try to find some common things too…reminds me of learning sets in Maths class.
Panko breadcrumbs have just arrived in supermarkets here, are they all they’re cracked up to be?
Karen
Mimi – Yeah, they’re pretty good. They’re a lot crispier and lighter than a regular breadcrumb. ~ karen!
Mary Werner
Did you learn to print at school or are you just fantastically talented or is that chalkboard really just a trick that you photo shopped? I LOVE Weird Al
Karen
Mary – I’m a pretty darn good printer if I do say so myself. But that chalkboard is photoshopped. :) I’m kind of in love with it, and after trying a few different things for my menu of the week have decided this look is the one. ~ karen!
Emily
I love the Photoshopped chalkboard! The font is perfect!
Amy
I try to fix dinner for my husband and son every night but we don’t always get to all sit down at the same time because of meetings and activities. A lot of dinners have to be simple and fast. Both of them know, though that if they turn up their noses at the meals for 2 dinners or more, I have a sign that comes out. It says “Kitchen is Closed – Cook is on Strike!”
Kristin
New favorite egg sammich around here; it doesn’t use up very many eggs at one time, though:

Karen
Looks like a good basic egg sandwich! Yum. ~ karen
Lucy
Hi: Have you (or any other bloggees) made Fire Broth soup with turkey Italian sausage instead of pork?
Thinking of doing this as a sub.
Thanksfor sharing your menus – gets challenging to think up new stuff this time of year.
Karen
Hi Lucy – I’ve never used turkey sausage, but if you like prefer turkey sausage, I see no reason at all why it wouldn’t work. Go nuts! :) ~ karen
