No photos today. Apricot and pear smoothies for breakfast for everyone, using up the fruit before it went bad.
Lunch was leftover lasagna, salad with lettuce and tomatoes. I took an apple out of the fridge to add in to their lunch, but apparently put it back in the fridge again while I was cleaning up! Serena later complained that there was not enough lasagna and she thought the serving I gave them both was just for her. I think she might have been Italian in a previous life as she can sure put away the pasta.
The girls took the bus to the mall for the first time today, so I met them there. No surprise, they had already ordered their New York Fries. We walked around a bit, I got a haircut, and Alexias handed out her resume looking for a part-time job. Finished around 6:00, and they were hungry, so I got a roast lamb plate from Jimmy the Greek and we all shared. Dessert was a couple of doughnuts for them, and a medium double double for me.
Stayed up a bit later to make lunch for tomorrow. Details ... tomorrow!

I have also been doing some superficial research on how much I ought to be spending on food per month. The best guess I can come up with is $ 1,000 / month, so that is what I will use as my benchmark. That gives me (calculate calculate, carry the one ...) about $ 30 a day. Sounds low, and I know I could spend easily double or triple, but I'll see how it goes. All costs are, by the way, in Canadian dollars.
FOOD COSTS:
Roast lamb dinner $ 8.80
Dessert $ 3.00
NY Fries $ 4.00
Tuesday total: $ 15.50
