Nothing to Write Home About

My apologies to any of you who have been waiting on a new post; I know I have been slacking for a couple days now. Honestly, you haven’t missed much. I have only really “cooked” dinner once in the past four days… One night, I asked my daughter what she wanted for dinner and her response was bacon. I think I am creating a bit of a monster here though. When I asked what she wanted with the bacon, “eggs! But just the white eggs.” Yep, my 3-year old has a specific egg order, egg whites only.

We also had pizza delivered one night and tonight I served the kids frozen peas right out of the bag with deli salami and buttered noodles. Frozen peas out of the bag is actually pretty common here. My kids love peas and it must be more fun if they are frozen. But I just haven’t had a lot of creativity to share with the world these past few days.

A contributing factor to my lack of kitchen spunk may be that our refrigerator is still not working. We currently have an old standard refrigerator in our garage to prevent me from having to grocery shop every day while we sort out a little drama with our home warranty company and the repair service. The up side to not having a refrigerator in the house, you just don’t eat as much! I have to go down a half flight of stairs and across the garage to get to the fridge which is just enough of an inconvenience to make me evaluate if I really want a snack, or cream in my coffee, or jelly on my toast, or if I’m just going to skip it this time.

Seriously though, I’m so spoiled. I really just want a glass of filtered ice water! It has been years since I have not had ice and water in the refrigerator door and I so want it back! What is that saying? “First world problems”
