A Sunday dinner on Wednesday.....

Once again, I haven't let one of life's little curve-balls get me down -- I just needed time to rethink the game plan.  

These little ‘To-Go’ meals seem to be a nice alternative to the officers coming to my house because of their busy schedule.  They barely have time to eat at all, let alone stop by my house for a meal, so I made up a few dinners yesterday -- nine to be exact -- and dropped them off at the station. 

By the way, and this is probably TMI (too much information), but since I have stopped cooking as much, I have gained 8 lbs.  You would think it would be the opposite, but the amount of energy it takes to host a breakfast or dinner is way more than you might think.  But it was like dancing (exercising without realizing it.)  I weighed myself this morning and I had lost one pound from all the running around yesterday.  So now I'm wondering....if I cooked 20 meals a month, would I lose 20 lbs?  Heck, I could deliver these meals all over Charlotte.  There are, after all, 12 other police divisions.
 

The Menu

Pot Roast (slow cooked for a little over 9 hours)

Mash Potatoes w/ Gravy

Macaroni and Cheese
Garlic Green Beans w/ Almonds

Carrots and Onions (love them when cooked with pot roast)
Yeast Rolls

Banana Pudding

Sweet Tea

To see the Sergeant's face light up when I walked in the door and have a few other officers greet me at the back door, made it all worth it!  Love these guys!  

The production line

It probably took at least 30 minutes just to plate everything.  

Finishing touches.
