The kind that results in food. Cooking dinner with Shanna is a hit or miss proposition. Sometimes she sleeps and it’s easy, and sometimes she is awake and fussy and nothing will appease her but my Full Attention. So today in anticipation of the week we cooked a bunch of food. We made a fabulous roast (it’s awesome) and risotto, a nummy veggie/sausage soup for lunches and an apple cake. Veggies for sides are a steam pan away (I can handle that even with a fussy Shanna) and we have polenta in the fridge that requires about five minutes of cooking. I also grated all the cheese we will need for the polenta and risotto topping for the week.

Noah did more than half of the cooking. He has been wonderful. Yay! And we got to take advantage of Shanna sleeping. Today wins. Which is nice because my stupid family sucks as usual. The plans for this afternoon were canceled and I was all set to be whiny but Noah helped my day rock.

If I shopped correctly this morning we will perfectly run out of food Friday at lunch before we run off to the PNW.
