Tonight I prepared the cover recipe from one of Bekah's hoity-toity cooking magazines. It takes a bit of planning and preparation and a few special ingredients, as well as hoping for everyone to be on-time to dinner. With the latter in view, we didn't actually eat until after 7 pm, in order to have everyone home from work and enjoying the culinary masterpiece all at once. I say masterpiece only because it is absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious, even though it is a fool-proof recipe once all the pieces are in place, not because it takes any extraordinary skill. It is a beautiful sight as well. And, oh, the smell...
Wouldn't tonight be the night that, once seated at the table, the girls peel back the layer of confusion to reveal that they are all choosing to be vegetarians...
Oh- I entirely forgot to mention that this recipe is based on PORK CHOPS.
Another glass of wine please. It helps to dull the pain as I bite my lip to avoid saying something I'll regret.
The upside: I can spend less on groceries since I'm only buying meat for three people.
(struggling to find more entries for this category)
The downside: Why linger? Let's just not go here.
My girls are making a choice based on health reasons, not inconvenience to Mom...
Oh boy.

They would enjoy the Nicoise Salad we had for our Bible study luncheon today! Is fish in their program? BTW, what was your wonderful recipe?
That would be difficult for me too. I guess they could help out with the meal planning and/or take over much of it.
