We had lots of company over the weekend while we celebrated York College Homecoming – one of my favorite weekends of the year! One of the meals I served for our guests was “Huge Hamburgers” with potato wedges, grapes, veggies, olives and cookies. The Huge Hamburger idea came from one of our boys when we were planning the menu for our guests. Ever since I made this big burger to feature in our curriculum (while you’re learning the letter Hh, of course!), my boys beg me to make it. The bun (Kings Hawaiian that I find at our regular grocery store or at Walmart) is not very healthy, but boy is it good. It’s a real treat, and I find that when I have lots of company, I have to make compromises on the food we eat so that I’ll stay sane. I want to enjoy my company – not spend time making huge hamburger buns while everyone else is visiting!

I may be wrong, but I do believe this week may be a little calmer around our house. We will have some company here and there, but if you can believe it, I think we only have one soccer game during the next few days. Whatever shall I do? (Yes, I know – laundry. You weren’t supposed to answer that. It was rhetorical.)
