Food - YEA!
So dinner didn't go as planned tonight, but it ended up being the best dinner we've had in awhile. I was suppose to make Peppered Steak and Rice, but discovered I didn't have enough rice. I ended up just browning the meat with some butter, garlic salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and diced onions and then fixing corn, potato pancakes, and watermelon with it.
Jason and I quite enjoyed the meal and Aiden and Moira ate well too. The big surprise was Nick. I can count my full reading audience on one hand so I know you all know Nick and his eating habits. Since the age of about 1 1/2 - 2 (which was 6 years ago respectively), you pretty much had to fight his picky nature and beg him to eat. Well ladies and gentlemen, tonight he ate meat, potato pancakes, corn, and watermelon. I don't think my son has eaten from all the food groups in like forever... and he had milk to drink. Let me tell you, I about fell over and I did the dorky thing and called my mother-in-law to tell her about it because she's been complaining lately about trying to get him to eat during the day.
Yes, I am an old fart mother. I complain about fireworks and rejoice about a well eaten meal. Hurrah to me - I am a mother now!
