So Sick of Making Dinner

[Mermaid]

Update:I got home about 6:30. Yardbird was on the stove. I got called out to the hospital to admit two people. Got back at 10:00. Her chicken dish was awesome! How will she top it tomorrow?

Hope springs eternal, hey, Skunky?

....by having you make reservations at an over-the-top restaurant.

Actually, I was thinking the Royal B in Destin--let me know how you enjoy the duck.

Week's Schedule

Thank god for the 3/5 bottle of wine left after the glazing.

We do need a dinner exchange!

Girl, what is up with this menu? I thought you liked to cook in addition to baking. Hire me and I'll come cook for Skunky. :roll:

I think she is being a smarta$$. I can't imagine a boxed dinner with the name "helper" anywhere on the package would make it into Punzy's grocery cart, much less through the front door.

Okay, Peapod hit the nail on the head. I have the winter doldrums and I'm bored with winter food.

So, I finally got my butt motivated and found a recipe. I decided to make a penne tossed with zucchini, yellow squash, ricotta, and basil, tossed with shaved parmesan. I found a recipe for wine glazed chicken http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/recipes/main_wineglazedchicken.shtml to go with it. I served it over arugula with a lemon viniagrette. Or, I intended to.

I'm three minutes from tossing the penne, and Skunky gets called to the hospital. He'll be 3-4 hours.

I am going to have a really hard time summoning the will to cook the rest of the week.

So tell me something, are these all ingredients you already had on hand?

She will not do it. She once made hamburger helper to prove a point and it was freaking awesome (which pissed her off) and she once made one of your standard boneless skinless chicken breast meets Campbell's soup recipes (with a few custom touches) and it was out of sight. She refuses to feed my inner redneck.

Rapunzy, can we have meatloaf tonight?

Don't know about soWal, but we have these places here where you can buy a weeks' worth of prepared "stufF", heat and eat. Tastes really good and isn't a lot more than the grocery store.

Ms Seaside, she don't cook no more.

NO, NO, NO
