Family Dinner, Daddy-Style

DAILY SNACK

My husband offered to make dinner last night.

I hesitated.

It was already after six, I warned,

We needed something fast, not fancy.

He assured me that he could do it.

At 7:30 pm we sat down to provolone topped chicken breasts,

Served on a crispy potato  rosti,

With a creamy dijon sauce,

An avacodo, tomato and baby lamb’s lettuce salad,

And a perfect stack of julienned carrots.

Saying “I told you so,” never tasted so good.

That’s sounds like my life on the nights when J is not working. He usually cooks and likes to make it as interesting as possible. It is also usually really, really good. Then why do I feel like complaining? Well, I don’t like seeing my kids have their dinner at 7:45 PM, and then rushed to bed with a full stomach, and I really dislike cleaning the kitchen until 10PM. Oh well… I guess we’ll keep working on it…

Yeah, it’s really hard to face a dirty kitchen when you finally get the kids to sleep and all you want to do is flop down on the nearest chair. Too bad it’s even harder to face the next morning.
