Up and Down

So, yesterday was my sister-in-law's birthday. And the usual spread was served, grilled various meats, peas n rice, corn and crab salad. And birthday cake. And I sat there, with the kids, held hostage, because dinner wasn't done at home and my eager puppy eyed hubby thought that he was doing a good thing by giving me a night off from cooking. *roll eyes in impossible directions* Anyhow, back on track tonight. Zucchini quiche. Mashed sweet potatoes with coconut milk. Julienned zucchini and bell pepper on lettuce with homemade vinaigrette. Colorful plate of food. Real good. My kids? Once again, surprising. My son kills the quiche and bell peppers with zucchini. Pitches a holy fit at the potatoes. My daughter pitches a fit at the quiche (yes, she at the quiche last time when HE DIDN'T - go figure). But she eats plain zucchini with vinaigrette, announces the potatoes taste bad but eats them under my watchful eye, lol. Hubby ate two plates of food, heh heh heh. He had no quiche. In an effort to finish up the meat left in here, which includes two steaks, one porkchop and some shrimp - I did shrimp for him tonight. So that's done, shrimps- all gone. Now the steaks will be by weekend.

  1. Phew! That dinner sounds good, I kickin myself for not trying the mashed sweet potato with coconut milk while I was home. Right up my alley. Sounds like the moral of the story when it comes to the kids is, it's worth trying anything new with them, as the reception seems to be based not on the food, but on their mood, or the way the breeze is blowing in Tallahassee that day.
