I’ve eaten fabulous meals at some of the finest restaurants in the country, and formal banquets in Rome, and 10 course meals made by famous chefs. I’ve sampled ethnic and local cuisines from coast to coast, from crisp linen service to newspaper covered picnic tables.
But I think my favorite meal in my entire life was just served to me, invisible but delicious, in my living room on Disney Princess tea party plates.
Made lunch for me and the kids. From what we had on hand, I decided on ham and swiss on whole wheat, clementines, kettle chips and apple cider. I asked the kids what they wanted on their ham sandwiches.
Little Miss Thing went with plain. I chose mayo and brown mustard.
Danger Monkey wanted to try something “wacky,” so he dressed his with pepperoni and ketchup. Yep… ham, swiss cheese, pepperoni slices and ketchup.
And he loved it. Practically licked his plate.
The way he’s been eating lately, I suspect he’s going to grow an inch overnight.
Best Xmas present to myself EVER… Purging my clutter. What an amazing array of emotional baggage in the form of “important” papers. Today I let go of three speeding tickets, 2 heart surgeries, breast cancer bills, divorce paperwork, job offers and rejections, tax penalties, arguments and broken promises, bad credit scores, and god knows what else. I have never felt so free in my life. Highly recommended.
