When The Mommy Cooks

Oh my gosh, today couldn't be any lazier! It's 6pm and even though I've showered today, I'm still in pj's! Shameful :)

Today I had this great motivation to do some cooking- I've made a decision that I want to eat more soup in 2010...for lunches and stuff. Peanut butter sandwiches be gone! But it was like any other venture in the kitchen: missing ingredients, making a huge mess. How did we end up with FOUR boxes of Chicken Bouillon cubes and not a single beef or vegetable one?? I was sure I had tomato sauce in the pantry but no. Scott was proud when he found a can when he went digging in the back of the cupboards, but I had to kindly point out to him that the can was bulging and the expiry date was 2008. Thank God for expiry dates on canned goods; otherwise we would have perished from botulism long ago. Scott was nice enough to run to the grocery store but they had none left. At least he grabbed some Timmies on the way home so it wasn't a wasted trip :)

He convinced me to do something *not included in the recipe instructions* which is completely out of my comfort zone, LOL. This is why he prefers to do most of the cooking. I always think it's going to be relaxing, but I think it just stresses everyone out to hear me ranting in the kitchen because I can't find stuff and the recipe isn't working out exactly.

It is FREEZING outside today. Not that I would know firsthand. But rumour has it ;)
