Good Morning?
Apr. 22nd, 2009 07:04 amI was up at 5 AM again today. My head is pounding and my stomach's not sure of what it wants to do; does it play nice and relax, or does it rebel against the long-standing authoritarian government, me? Let's hope it plays nice.
I made some sauce, but couldn't run the chicken through the food processor (I grind my own meat) for fear of waking too many people. Even chopping onions and garlic woke Maria, so I can imagine that the whirring blades of chopping goodness would be a big no-no at 5:30.
But the sauce is done, which is nice. I'll make the chicken meatballs later, and let them sit in the sauce overnight, which will make it even more delicious. Pasta and sauce for dinner tomorrow, leftover roasted chicken tonight. Hooray for cheap and easy dinners that also taste fantastic! I'm trying to make "cheap, easy, and delicious" foods my specialty, and now I have a second pair of taste-buds to tell me how I can improve my dinners.
The house guest, my mom, is doing well. She fell asleep on the couch during a late-night episode of Chuck, and made her way to bed shortly after we did the same around 10 or so. Hopefully she'll start to feel comfortable enough to get on whatever her normal schedule is within a fairly short period of time. I want her to feel at home, except without the stress. The fact that she cleaned my kitchen top to bottom while I was out yesterday makes me worry about the second part, but she claims she "loves to clean," so what are you going to do, right?
Looks like my stomach made its choice, and its choice is "rebel against the dictatorship." Excuse me while I go take some Tums. In the mean time, answer me this:
What's the best cheap-and-easy-yet-still-delicious dinner you make?
