Mother has been off in balmy Key West for three days now. I can’t believe how much sound EM contributes to this house when she is here!
\nI was out running errands today, and stopped at one of my favorite stores, Trader Joe’s. I usually limit my shopping there to special occasions because the temptation is to purchase things that don’t fit into a diet.
\nI was trying to come up with something for a simple but classy meal for DH and myself. I picked up the roasted red pepper tomato soup, a wedge of Gouda, a small package of spinach hors de oeuvres, a chicken and veggie stir fry, a package of cashews, and two bottles of Two Buck Chuck.
\nDear Husband expected to be late this evening, so I held off starting dinner. Thirty minutes before I expected him, I heated the appetizers, put the soup on low, tossed a salad, and opened the wine to let it breathe.
\nOf course, he called, and said he was going to be about 45 minutes later than he had expected. I had my soup while I waited for him, and then reheated everything when he was ready for dinner. We ended up skipping the stir fry, and just had soup and salad.
