Love that your menu plans are back! I don’t feel like I can start my week without knowing what the Coppingers are eating!!! Hee Hee! Even MORE exciting news! I thought the new curriculum kit was exciting!!! I can’t wait to see what else you have coming to your site! YAHOO! :)
I’m crying just a little bit since the grasshoppers ate most of my green bean sprouts. I have enough starting to trellis that we’ll get a few meals out of them, but nothing for the freezer I’m afraid. Was so looking forward to seeing those ‘yard longs’ too. :]

Hmm, I’ve never heard of it before!
The zucchini boats look like so much fun! A great way to use squash when it is coming out of your ears! Have a great week.
