Empty Nest Menu #161 and the movies

I took myself out last week to The Long Center for another of the Butler Pops Series featuring the Home Alone movie.  At the end of the movie, the symphony continued to play, along with a large choir of AISD students - it was lovely!  I had never seen Home Alone - just snippets.  It was pretty fun. 
But did you know that the "scary old guy" in the movie - Marley - symbolized Jesus?  The movie has deeper meaning - not just the comedy we all think it as.  I have watched very few Christmas movies the last four years - I need to revisit some old favorites and find some new-to-me ones, too. 

Monday - (freezer) Pork Roast, (freezer) twice baked potato, carrots {I'm off today}
Tuesday - Crab Cakes, green beans {pick up filler groceries, on call overnight)
Wednesday - Coconut Shrimp, pesto bowties, peas {baking day!, Christmas Eve church service in p.m.}
Thursday - Beef Stew, rolls, Walnut Raisin Pie, Cranberry Bars {Happy Birthday Bubbie!, I work 6a to 3p}
Friday - (all freezer) Turkey Taco Meat bowl with rice, refrieds, salsa
Saturday and Sunday - kitchen closed, but I will probably have leftover stew!
