Mommy's Day Out

I didn't get to relax, but the work I did this morning will save me loads of time over the next few weeks. This morning, the buddies stayed at home with their dad while I joined 6 fellow twin moms in a commercial kitchen downtown for cooking club. Everyone prepared 2 entrees for each family and walked away with 14 ready-made meals! Although I'm not one that loves to cook, I really had a fantastic time chatting with the other moms while we chopped, baked, and sipped mimosas. Over the next few weeks, we'll be dining on pork chops stuffed with cherries, ginger and pine nuts; spice rubbed baby back ribs; turkey florentine meatloaf; chicken cutlets stuffed with olives, feta and red peppers; chicken and mango curry; beef with broccoli; fajitas; and many more tasty dishes! And the work will be minimal - jealous anyone?

And best of all, I came home to a quiet house that had been freshly vacuumed by Steve - and I didn't even ask! He also mowed the lawn during the buddies' nap so I have to say I feel a little outdone. I never get THAT much work done during naptime.
