Monday mornings are the hardest, you know what I mean. The weekend is over and if I didn't go grocery shopping (which I didn't) to prepare for this week's lunches, I'm just crying the Monday morning blues.
That's when some sort of Variation On A Leftover comes in to play.
In our household, this is tricky as some leftovers don't heat up so well. Luckily, we hit Pasta Pomodoro so often for dinner, even Aja, the General Manager of the Noe Valley location know us by name... and by our order. Christopher and I share the Penne Portobello, under the House Specials Section. Then, I order a Kids Meal that I think would be a good Variation On A Leftover for later that week.
Today, it was spaghetti in a cream sauce, side of broccoli and an extra side parmesan cheese! For our kid- it's all about the extra cheese.
Christopher approves.
Then, there's all the other lunches that need packing. I've now gotten into the habit of packing the lunch bags, sliding the lunch bags down the floor towards the door and everyone grabs theirs on the way out! Whoever is dropping off Cory picks up his cooler of milk and food too.
PS - Pasta Pomodoro is a favorite of ours. Some locations, like the Noe Valley one, offer some great deals right now:
Monday nights: 30% off all take out orders
Tuesday nights: kids eat for free (I think this means kids meals are free)
Wednesday nights: half off a bottle of wine. (they'll even wrap up the bottle so you can take the rest home)
