Day 7 - Beef stew,beans and more beans

Used up some almost rotten potatoes and made potato patties. Cooked about 3 lbs. of black beans, made veggie burgers with roasted corn and a black bean chili. Matt came over for dinner with Margo for chicken parm and eggplant parm, rigatoni (end of marinara sauce) and then Col said remember the loaves and the fishes - well Bran and his friend need dinner too! But we had plenty and still have leftover pasta and parm. Katy had a 3 month old frozen pizza for lunch and we had veggie burgers - pretty good. Just have to get used to the texture. Cooked the others longer so that they will be harder. Think we are going to have to toss the leftover ratatouille out or to the deer - don't know if they are allergic to onions like dogs. Have to make pastry dough for beef stew. Col doesn't really like beef, so this is a problem! But if we don't eat the beef - probably won't make another week. This week it will chicken enchiladas, stuffed cabbage, shepherd's pie, pasta with livornese sauce. Thankfully, it is Col's birthday on Friday and we get to go out - yes this one time. We haven't ordered in or gone out since this challenge started, not even to get a coffee!!
