Monday's news

Slightly grumpy still. Was hoping the weekend would put paid to that, but apparently not. Woke up too early, fussed with the dogs, kept my grump on, and found out youngest daughter had been ill several times during the night. She's all covered up on the sofa now, feeling better, and maybe we can just keep her quiet. Thankfully our oldest daughter took care of her in the wee hours (the girls share a room) and I was able to sleep. We have good kids.

Planning a grocery store run. The kids and I watched Bobby Flay's Throwdown show last night, and they made meatballs to the degree that we were all drooling afterwards. This happens when we watch Food Network, and it seems our house is always empty of yummy eats when they have a particularly delectable show. Like last night.

So, I might look up the Barefoot Contessa's meatball recipe (have made it once using only beef, and not what she uses for the meat---ultra dishy) and it'll satisfy our urges. So frustrating to only have bread and margarine to eat after the show. Bummer. Must stock-up kitchen cupboards. Then eat. And then have seconds. :)
