Since Tuesday, I have been a better mother. Wednesday, we needed to pick up our car from the shop, but I told Jay that I needed to feed the boys a halfway decent dinner, so he would just have to wait at work without dinner until we were done--I said a better mother, not a better wife! So, I made breaded pork chops, one of our favorite entrees from Columbia's Kitchen, and macaroni and cheese--I know I could do a lot better in the health department, but our kids are pretty skinny, so an occasional fried pork chop won't hurt them, and our macaroni and cheese should be a legally mandated comfort food. Jay got a sandwich from Pickleman's, but he did eat leftovers for lunch for the next two days, so he did get to enjoy them to some extent, and I was not a totally horrible wife.
Thursday we had spaghetti and meatballs. It took us a long time to find the perfect meatballs, and I do like ours very much, and my kids like them so much that given a choice of what to eat on Friday, they wanted meatball subs, and I had leftover spaghetti and meatballs--I just prefer pasta to bread and I am no longer at the stage in life where I get to choose both.
I do love that the weather has turned. Even though my entire head itches like crazy, my youngest son and I both think we suffer from a certain amount of seasonal affective disorder, and when the sun shines, life just gets a lot brighter! Tonight I don't have to cook, we get to have BBQ at a friend's, so I think I'll pick up some KFC coleslaw. Customers often ask why we don't have coleslaw, and I always say that between KFC and Buckingham's, what could I possibly offer? But if anyone has a great recipe they think we should try, I would love to give it a whirl! Hope you have a great weekend, Lisa
