Menu with what's on sale Oct. 21-Oct. 27

So sorry. The week has gotten away from me. What with a planting winter garden, to canning mincemeat, applesauce, beef chunks and apples for baking,....kids, dogs, the husband. Oh, I'd better change that to: The husband, the kids, the dogs. He thinks I treat the dogs better than I do him so I'd better not slip up again.

I just wanted to mention that the blog at the end of my blog list on the left, "This week for dinner" is a great reference if you're having a hard time coming up with different menus for dinner. She not only has her menu for the week listed but encourages her readers to put down their menus in the comments section. Some are plain, some are gourmet, some are international, some are simple. It's fun to look at.
