Doorbell rings. "What are you having for dinner?"
:rofl:
I laughed my ass off.

Doorbell rang and it was the two little girls from next door.
And their babysitter.
We're kind of grandparents-in-residence.


The oldest, 5, says "What are y'all having for dinner? All Natalie (the babysitter) can make are cheese sandwiches and mac & cheese in the microwave. Are y'all having anything better than that?"

Well honey, we're having beef stew.

"Oh...OK...(dejected frown) I guess we'll have mac & cheese."

So...what's for dinner at YOUR house?
Something better than yucky ol' beef stew?
;-)

1. Yuck! You old people eat funny food.
She probably was hoping for an answer like "ice cream and cake."

2. Gotta say it's one of our 'blander' nights.
The evening menu is usually a bit more exotic.

3. I used to hope to eat at my grandparent's house when
I'd come home from school and smell cabbage cooking. UGH!

Tonight at our house: Beef Curry with Rice.

9. I ate all of those.
I suppose I could make more, but I'm thinking maybe a cake, or some brownies or something like that.

7. Costco rotisserie chicken
and baklava from Trader Joe's.

While we're on the subject of TJ's -- why don't they have a peanut satay sauce?
