Last night, I craved appetizers in a big way. We ended up having mozza sticks, but I could have eaten a large platter of all kinds of deep fried things. We have the ability to order some of that from a nearby restaurant but why are those kinds of things always so expensive?! Sigh. Shouldn’t complain I guess.
I’m not sure if I can blame winter weather, my pregnancy, or just general poor self discipline, but I am so hungry for hot, delicious comfort food these days. Do you know what I mean? Like, a few moments ago, Brady asked when I wanted for lunch (we often eat lunch after the kids go down for their nap) and all I could really verbalize was something really flavorful and delicious. I’m not a picky eater at all. I’ll really eat anything anyone serves me. But right now, I only really want to eat something really saucy, or cheesy, or salty. So, without judgement please, Brady and I are having white cheddar macaroni for lunch, probably with pickles, and we’re actually making a baked chicken spaghetti for supper. Both are saucy and flavorful and delicious. If you hadn’t noticed (you probably have) they are both pasta dishes. I know, thats sooo bad! But it was also pointed out to me by my husband who wants me to be happy, that we never do that. We NEVER have noodled twice in a day. So we’re going for it because it sounds delicious and I can’t think of anything else. Maybe tonight we’ll add some garlic bread to the mix. Yum.
Anyway, it would appear thats kind of it for my post today. We haven’t accomplished much, since apparently a Sasktel repair guy is coming over at some unknown point of the day. He’s supposed to call first, but who knows. So we’re going to settle in for lunch and watch a bit of The Office, but afterwards, we’ll hopefully start tidying/reorganizing the pantry if he’s not here.
But first!, noodles. And then!, more noodles…
Something about the coldy snowy weather makes me too want pasta pasta and I’M not preggy! I discovered a great remedy/improvement to the craving last night when I used my home made hummous (organic chickpeas/tahini/raw garlic etc) as the bulk of the cheese sauce! Pretty much works like an alfredo and soooooo good! Also, using organic wild rice pasta makes me feel even more righteous snarfing it down. Haven’t figured how I’m going to unload the 30 pounds I’ll have put on by spring……
Sounds so yummy though! Let it happen. We all put on a bit of weight over Christmas, preggy or not 😉
