Because Mara Told Me To

Mara reminded me that my blog doesn't need to be cool, hip, pinterest-worthy.  At this point just an online journal would be fine.  And that is true, and so I will try better.

I visited Mara in New Hampshire over the weekend.  It was so, so fun to spend the weekend with just Mara, not with other siblings (love you guys!) or my kids (you too!).  Just a sister weekend.  With her boyfriend and dog, too, but they were, respectively, our event coordinator/meat-griller extraordinaire and, I don't know, lap-warmer/scrap-eater/court jester.

New Hampshire is a lot more like Alaska than I could have imagined.  There were mountains and snow and lots of lakes and quirky little small towns with gun shops and gift shops and tiny organic food restaurants.

Mara and I cooked a lot of good food, which was one of the highlights of the weekend for me, no surprise there.  We made a caramelized onion and butternut squash galette that was amazing and an oh-so-good sweet potato pie.  Also gnocci in tomato broth and cheddar swirl buns.  Mmm.  I'm still dreaming about it.

Speaking of meals, I'm trying to be really good about meal planning lately, and I'm also trying to make food my family will eat but that will stretch the kids' palette's as well.  Here is the plan for this week:

Mon: Craig bought pizza since I wasn't home yet
Tues: black bean soup with chips and cheese/veggie plate
Wed: lasagne and salad (they eat salad now!  except Henry, who eats the carrots and cucumbers out of the salad.  thank you ranch, the gateway drug)
Thurs: burritos with the leftover soup/apple pie for pi day
Fri: white bean soup with potatoes and bacon/cheddar swirl buns
Sat: that galette I mentioned above (we'll see how it goes over with the kids)
Sun: thai yellow curry with potatoes and tofu (I predict Luke will eat only the rice)

So we will see how it goes!

Um... I am eating the leftover gnocci in bed right now, and now it is somehow spread all over my laptop and bedspread. I love you, and I love your writing, as is.

Ak! I was in Vermont driving back to Boston that Sunday and we even went over to NH just to say we did it. How nice to hang out with your sis!

I so need to plan some meals, thanks for the kick in the pants.

I knew you were nearby, Anna, but it didn't seem like it would be feasible for us to see one another. I liked knowing you were close!

Hello Ser, I know this blog is not like a top priority for you or anything, but I just wanted you to know if you ever want to get back on the blog-boat, I'd be happy to help you get the "look" of your site more like something you want. This might sound a little rude (?), an insult to your current blog, but I mean it in the kindest way... it would be very simple for me to fix it up the way you want it. Just saying...
