I'm good for two big holidays in a row (this time it would be two birthdays in one week) and then I absolutely refuse to cook for the rest of the week. Survive on leftovers- let the masses defend for themselves. I. Am. Done.
So, for dinner tonight I have offered my 13-year-old the opportunity of a lifetime: "Here is $20. Your challenge is to go to Shaw's (don't forget the Shaw's card) and come home with a healthy dinner for the whole family. And also cook it." He is so excited that he called a friend to come along. AND he's walking (it's like 10 degrees out there) so I'm saving gas and brain cells. Win-Win! Ok, maybe I don't win the "Mother of the Year" award but I'm cuddling up by the fire with a good book and waiting for my dinner. Ahhh- the luxurious life!

So what did he come back with?
I've been wondering the same thing. I love that he called his friend to go on the adventure with him. (Also, what book did you read while you were waiting? I must know all your social events.)
Wish I had thought of that!
It was actually very funny. He came back with a box that said chicken strips but he didn't look at the fine print- chicken-LIKE strips. It was TVP. Hahaha! He was bummed and we still haven't eaten it. He also bought two boxes of an organic brand of seasoned rice with vegetables, some frozen mozzarella sticks, and a box of weight watchers popsicles. And I was reading "Founding Brothers".
