Practice

Well, since I'm not officially starting the cooking experiment until January, I haven't chronicled our meals, at home or out, in several days. I thought, "I will update my readers about our meal situation," and imagine my relief when I realized: I don't have any readers! No one in the world is following the mealtime choices of the Walker family with bated breath! But of the record, this week I have made baked chicken with potatoes and peas, cheesy chicken vegetable soup and gravy with toast and bacon. I'm feeling the love from my husband. That's right, I am June Cleaver. Only cooler. And without the heels and 1950s style dress when hubby walks in the door.

I have been collecting some recipes to try so we aren't relegated to spaghetti and tacos all the time. I look forward to the slow change that will come as we eat at home more than not. I'm holding out hope that the kids will learn to stay seated for a whole meal. However, tomorrow is my birthday and I feel sure that a little visit to Macaroni Grill will happen, you know, before all this is official. And then Thursday is pizza night...then Friday we're out with family...
