This Weeks Dinner

So, I get to plan dinner for the next week and a half because my parents are out of town. Its back to the old days of figuring out what ingredients I have, what produce needs to be used up, what new recipes I can cook, and what old recipes I can cook.

Here's the menu for the week:

Saturday: Tex Mex Beef Enchiladas with black beans and rice
Sunday: Dill Roasted Garlic Chicken with greens
Monday: Penne with Italian Sausage and veggies with a Romaine Salad
Tuesday: Chile Garlic Chicken Legs with an Asian Veggie Stir Fry
Wednesday: Asian Rotisserie Chicken Salad (using left-over roast chicken)
Thursday: Perogies and Cabbage Rolls (which are frozen from a previous batch of cabbage rolls)
Friday: I'm working this night, so left-overs

And there you have it. I'm hitting the grocery store to get the missing few ingredients.

The Weary World Rejoices

The candlelight flickers in my December-darkened living room. Jarred red pillar candles with warm light speckle my piano by number, along with the Christmas cards of cozy families that have begun to criss-cross my living room. Edmund's favourite Christmas album is playing, the one from Charlie Brown and his lovely Christmas special. There is a quiet ache filling this space, and my 8-year-old has said once again, "It doesn't feel like Christmas." And so it has begun.

I remember that winter and Christmas feeling particularly cold and lonely, as I had spent the warm, bright summer months and early fall in what had alway...

My Heart Healing Adventure

... How shall I begin filling you in on the goings on in our life? I went for my ablation procedure last Wednesday in Victoria, British Columbia. It was a grueling few days-well lets just say few weeks-- leading up to the procedure. It was the tightchest-can'tbreathe-can'tthinkofanythinggood-fearscented kind of stressed out. So while I was so... occupied... I let my mind drift into some silly reading material. Yes. Ashamedly. I did read them. All of them.... The Twilight Saga I allowed myself to be that girl I once was long long ago. You know... the fifteen-year-old girl who can't think of anything besides a good romantic story full of intrigue and excitement. So for a week and a half I read all 2381 pages of fanciful fiction. It was a good mind break. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I must make an aside comment: I did take note that I would not allow an impressionable-young-teenage-girl read the books if I had one. Bella is not a good role model for a young lady. Bu...
