What’s on the menu at your house?
What’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with more than half the mom’s I know. How many meals do you make every night to satisfy the needs of the members of your household? Where is society headed? I never ate something different then my mom and dad ate unless you include NOTHING!! That’s right! If I didn’t eat what mom made for dinner, I didn’t eat. Surely my mom and dad were lucky to have eaten at all. Here I am only second generation in this country and I have to feed my husband organic, my oldest something involving pasta or chicken nuggets and my youngest something with rice and beans or a variation of cold cuts. Then to top it off the oldest goes running to the pantry after her plate is empty looking for her instant gratification sugar rush. The nerve. There is no “may I be excused.” There is barely the acknowledged rule of cleaning off the plate and placing it in the sink. With the economy in the toilet and the dollar in my house requiring a little extra stretch Annie will not prove the only “hard knocks” talk in my house. I think dinner a la carte is through, it is time for the eat it or starve special. Can I do it? Could you?
