spoiled

I have not had to cook a single dinner since Baby Chickadee was born.  Only one or two times have I had to make a lunch, and by “make” I mean “throw some peanut butter on two pieces of bread.”  Thanks to my awesome friends and family we have eaten well for the past two weeks.  I am spoiled.

But here are some things I’ve learned:

1. Other people prepare entire meals for their dinners.  Whereas I love taco soup or mexican chicken casserole because all the vegetables and meat are contained in one dish, other people actually have sides, like bread and yummy vegetables that are separate from the main course.  I need to step up my game.
2. My friends are really good cooks.  And now Hubby knows this as well.  So what may have started as a quiet voice in the back of his head is now glaringly true: Other husbands eat better than he does.  I need to step up my game.
3. I am never going to lose this baby weight if I keep eating so well, especially if we get a new pan of brownies or a plate of cookies or a freezer pie every night or THREE DIFFERENT DESSERTS IN ONE DAY.  I have to eat all of it!  It would be rude to let it go to waste.  Luckily some of it can be frozen because, really, even I can only handle so many brownies in one day.
