So how do you politely tell your spouse NOT to follow a 13 year tradition for Valentine's Day? Every year, we have given each other See's Candies for the Most Romantic Day of the Year...but this year, I just don't want that around here...I know I could just tell him, but I think that he'll then feel like he needs to do something bigger. I'd be fine with a) nothing, b) a book, c) Starbucks, or d) nothing...Obviously I just need to let him know.
The picture above is a simple part of a dinner I made when I didn't have time to cook - prawns, a little cocktail sauce, and a big fat salad. Sooo tasty...
On Saturday, I woke up early (or earlier than the rest of the family) and made Devin's Sausage Biscuit Sandwich. First, I have to say that I think this was the most time-consuming of any of the recipes I have made so far. The biscuits were homemade, the sausage had to be mixed with herbs and so forth (so tasty!)...so it took time. Secondly, I have to say this was the perfect choice for Saturday morning, as The Girl read her first book cover to cover Friday night...and not one of those "one word per page" kind of jobbies. The title? "Biscuit Goes to School." So when she saw what I was making, she was very excited to recognize a word from her book the night before. The biscuits were tasty - The Boy liked the biscuits as much as or better than those little blue tubes of biscuits. I couldn't find sausage that was AS low in fat as Devin recommends, so I just made 6 sausages instead of 5 to balance out. Nana and Poppy got to try the sausages Sunday morning (yay leftovers), and both enjoyed them very much.
This week is a little crazy for cooking...The Boy has his birthday, so his once-every-few-months treat is due again. Ba da ba ba ba...he's lovin' it. Then he chose Chevy's for the family dinner, thanks to sombreros, singing, and El Machino. I will be as healthy as I can be, just before running away for business to Frankfurt. Wish me luck!
40% of goal met in 16% of the time frame. I think I'll be able to set my next goal sooner than expected!
