Some days trying to
cook supper really isn't worth the effort.
Today was one of those
days.
I had a plan. Spaghetti
and salad. I had lots of good salad ingredients. Something for
everyone (and in this house, that's no mean feat!).
But I took the meat for
the spaghetti sauce out of the fridge and knew immediately that Plan
B was in order. The package had leaked, the meat didn't look right,
and it smelled even worse. Gross.
Okay. Toss the meat;
regroup. I had bacon, eggs, and some frozen hash browns. Breakfast
for supper would save the day!
I hadn't actually
bought the bacon. It had been given to us. But I pulled it from the
fridge and looked at the date. November 19, 2013.
Um. That's really not
any better than the meat. Yeesh.
Sighing, grumbling, and
generally being put out with life, I tossed the bacon too.
Okay, eggs are protein,
I have cheese, I have hash browns. We're still going to make this
breakfast/supper hybrid thing work.
And it did, sort of.
Not to brag or anything, but I make really good scrambled eggs. I don't
always like eating anyone else's, truth be known. And this batch came
out really pretty and perfect.
Only...Nelson had been
feeling rotten all day and finally succumbed. (Whatever Natalie had
at the beginning of the week hit him, and he's in bed with a fever.)
He wasn't interested in supper at all. Sarah ate happily, but Natalie didn't
eat much either. My beautiful eggs went largely unappreciated.
I like hash browns an
awful lot though, so I probably ate more than my fair share. In that
sense, I guess it's good that I didn't have to share, right? (Trying
to find the silver lining here.)
If someone wants to
take over supper preparations at my house, you are welcome to it. I
think I'm done.
