Another gorgeous day wasted here in the bunker/The Palace/the joke/the big green building that DEP built.  I just spent my break at Kroger buying produce.  I couldn't help it - I was overwhelmed with the compulshun!  I've had fresh veggies two of the last three days and I keep thinking of things that I want to eat, but I don't have all the ingredients.  So Scarlett and I will be having pizzas tonight, because this will be the last night I'll have the chance to cook for her this week. Hers will be the standard pizza sauce pepperoni and maybe sausage courtesy of Chef Boyardee (which we both adore! I eat the sauce straight out of the can)  Mine will be a white veggie pizza with cream cheese on the crust, sauteed spinach and onions, chopped tomatoes and grated Parmesan. (marinated artichoke hearts are good on this, too, along with olives, etc.)  I actually won a newspaper contest with that recipe. I also won a newspaper contest with my Mexican pizza.  Comment for the recipe, it's tres simple. 

At any rate, there will be fresh fruit smoothies Thursday before dance - that elimintes my fret of having no time to cook before dance class, gives her a pick me up without weighing her down - AND ensures that she eats.  She's not often hungry at 5:30, (her pill doesn't wear off until about 6)  So it's hard to get her to eat on Thursdays before dance.  Yummy red bananas, some blueberries, maybe a yogurt thrown in.  Red bananas are SUCH a great idea for kids - smaller portions, attractive color, great taste.

Also got cukes and maters to make tabouli and avacados for guacamole, maybe on the weekend.  Brent likes guacamole too, so that could be a nice treat. Some carrots to dip, extra sour cream for the guac and possibly some spinach later.  

And although I'm still bored out of my fucking skull, I'm feeling very smug that I got everything done and still got back within my allotted break time.  Go team me!
