What's for Sunday Dinner?

So what are you having for dinner tonight?

I'm a big proponent of using meals to mark certain days as special and other days as ordinary. I don't think that we need to be making a fancy meal for our families every day. When you make a special meal on a special day, even if the kids don't understand WHY this day is special they understand that today is different than yesterday. Eventually they will come to the WHY, but right now you want them to just experience.

So, I'm pretty sure that we aren't going to my mother's house for dinner, and I'm going to take a roast out of the freezer in a few minutes. I should have done it last night and thawed it in the fridge, but we'll just have to live dangerously. I'll make a rare roast with a dijon and garlic crust, mashed olive oil potatoes, and steamed carrots. I'm also going to make a lemon meringue pie, and R is going to help. She doesn't know that yet, but she will.
