Irish Woman is away for the rest of the week, so the cooking is being done by your friendly neighborhood DaddyBear.

For breakfasts, I made a potato-egg-sausage-cheese casserole. It’s really good heated up with hot sauce. I will likely supplement this with fruit and biscuits.

Tonight, dinner was a crockpot full of chicken and rice soup with a couple cans of Rotel, several chopped up chilis, and a healthy helping of cumin.

Tomorrow, we will have roast pork in the crockpot, with soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Not sure if I’ll slice it or shred it. Will be served with vegetables.

Thursday, I’ll be making a pan of Shepherd’s Pie. This was a mainstay when I was growing up, because you can feed an army for about $3.50.

Irish Woman will return on Thursday evening, so she will have many choices for dinner.

Friday and for the foreseeable future, we’ll be having leftovers, because I can never cook for less than a platoon of farm-raised soldiers.
