Liz leaves town Thursday afternoon, returning late Tuesday, so our menu for the weekend will revolve around leftovers, kid-pleasers and take-out, with an emphasis on meals that are quick to prepare and don't require either the grill or much patience.

I'll let you know how we do, and I'd appreciate suggestions for the weekend.
