An Offer Delivered...and Immediately Accepted

First reaction upon learning Dad got a job: “Yea!!!! Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you!”

Second reaction upon learning Dad got a job: “Oh no, now he won’t be making dinner anymore.”

Yep, it’s back to my experimental cooking. But, hey, at least our bank account will be well fed.

Ginger Breadman said...

I'm with christine - take out is amazing these days - and often times even delivered!

Beautiful photos on your last couple of posts - I'm jealous of your weather!

Irene said...

Congrats! I mean to Dad... Ditto on what everyone else said about take-out. We do it all the time ;)

My mom is a cook, I'm a cook - when I have time. Oh, woe is modern woman!

Excuse me??? Why pray tell can't he cook when he gets home...after all don't working women do that at least they are expected too, no one seems to question that they won't?! Ahhh modern times. Then again it is time that the one remaining child at home learns how to put together a meal...other than noodles and peanut butter :-)

By the way, yipppeee on the job front!

I think that's a good problem to have. Anyway, you can use the extra money to get Papa Murphy's pizza one night a week. That's one less meal you have to cook, right? What a minute, err, actually you still have to cook if you get a Papa Murphy's. Well, at least the pizza pan is disposable so you don't have to do the dishes.

food is over rated...umm so is a job:-) who wants to move to an island with me?

teacherwoman said...

Poor you, is right! If I had more time, I would love to do more "real meals" for dinner! As long as someone else would be doing the grocery shopping!

Congratulations to Gilbert! And OUCH to the rest of the family?

And please pass this along to alexandra the great: do you really have a recipe for peanut butter noodles?

Congrads to your dad. I have some awesome recipes if you are in the need of them. Experimenting on anything, including food, is very bad. :D

that's hysterical. michael does 90% of the cooking in our house. they take bets on whether or not the fire alarm will go off whenever i cook.

Can you all learn to live on brownies? Those were sure tasty at Twin Peaks!
