Buying my way way out...

Well, due to the ongoing exhaustion (too much work, lots of guests for J's 5th birthday festivities), we bought our way for family Sunday dinner this week, with my parents, Elsa, and Ron:
-- Stuffed chicken breasts (cajun rice or spinach-feta -- but why no cooking structions?!)
-- Roasted beet & shallot salad on mixed greens (yum!)
-- Green beans with shallots which I reheated wiht a touch of sherry
-- A nice whole grain loaf of bread & butter
-- Leftover Mexican chocolate birthday cake form Delicious Cakes, with vanilla ice cream; and watermelon

This may be repeated in some form the next couple of weeks, until after the upcoming princess-pony-unicorn party (attending, not hosting) and PASTA are done. thank you Whole Foods!
