Hmmm Ratatouille

Okay I may still be sick but enough of this pathetic whining.

1. I did housework.
2. I weeded alongside the house.
3. I hosted Raven and her children in the backyard including snacks and drink for the impromptu playdate.
4. I served the leftover Ratatouille for supper.
5. I discovered our very ripe tomato growing in the garden.

Yes, you read that right Hubby made Ratatouille for Smiles for supper last night and oh is it delicious. For a French peasant dish it is really good. I was quite happy with it. Of course it has the things I like in it, such as zucchini, eggplant and tomatoes in it. Yummy! I used to hate zucchini when I was a child but now as an adult I really like it. As long as it home grown and does not have those awful pesticides on it. I will fry up a zucchini from my mom's garden and really like it. Then I get home and fry up a store bought one and get a really gross chemical taste. This is even after I have washed the zucchini off. I don't get it. But in Hubby's stew the zucchini and the eggplant gave just the right taste. Yum! And all the credit for this wonderful stew goes to Smiles for suggesting it yesterday. Good going Smiles!

So things have been sorta worked out as a schedule for this week. Tomorrow I will head to Raven's and do some sewing. Wednesday Hubby and Bear will go see Transformers while Smiles and I have a home movie night. Thursday Raven and will try to go swimming and maybe go to BP's afterwards. Friday I have a doctor's appointment and Hubby gets to go camping for his gaming Long Weekend. Tonight! Well, I could have gone with Hubby, dragging the two kids over to Raven's tonight to game. Honestly though I want another night to recuperate and try and feel better. This way I don't have to deal with the kids when it is bedtime and they are overstimulated or when it is time to leave and they are sleep drugged and heavy limbed. Much easier to stay home and look after them here. And with the bonus that if I feel really bad I can go crawl into bed and sleep.

So yeah I am still sick but I do believe I am on the road to recovery. Now hopefully Hubby has not caught the same cold I had. Yikes!
