mum-mum

Trying to decide what to do about dinner. This morning I offered to cook, and S said "That would be great, or we could go out. Either." One year ago I would have locked myself in the bathroom for forty-five minutes, Philosophizing my face and pondering what that was supposed to mean - did he not like my cooking? Had he the whole time been faking that undying love for my one unscrewuppable dish, beef and pork lasagna?

Today, of course, I sigh in relief and grab the Entertainment book. Saves 45 minutes of sulking and two hours of trying to cook something edible. Of course if I were in the mood to cook, I could go with the quick standby - spaghetti, which even from scratch is easy and fun, and as one of my kids said today, "When you're done eating spaghetti, it's okay to play with your food." Yessiree.

OMG, I need a fryer. Two things legendary in my heart - Monte Cristo sandwiches and DISNEYLAND. I can't believe I spent $30 on prime rib when I would have been a hundred times happier with an $18.99 MC. Yeah, I know - a $19 sandwich? But it is Disneyland, you understand. It's the Blue Bayou. Some things are worth the pretty penny.
