Will was in New Orleans, so the girls and I had a lot of quality time together. We had a sleepover at my uncle's house on Saturday night. Complete with a spa event where the girls got mani/pedis. Sunday we went to a birthday party for Amelia's park friend. They had a little petting zoo come in and it was AMAZING. Chinchillas, chicks, turtles, an anteater, an owl, a pig... oh and a chihuahua (randomly). The below shot is just before Amelia casually brushed the poor chinchilla off her head. He landed on his feet. He was fine. Amelia said she didn't like it scratching her head. Annelise hated all the animals- she was playing with the windows most of the time. I got them together for the turtle, but they hated it. You can see Amelia moved her legs way off to the side so as not to touch him.
Amelia and Chinchilla
With a really old turtle. The girls did not like him.
I'm still not totally up for cooking, but at least I have a plan! Here is what we have going on:
Sunday: Cauliflower Turkey and White Bean Chili. This was a spontaneous recipe. I was making cauliflower soup while cooking the ground turkey for the chili, and I said 'What the heck' and dumped the cauliflower soup in the chili pot instead of using chicken broth for the chili. It came out really well and different.
Monday: Coconut Chicken Curry
Tuesday: Out for a coworker's goodbye dinner. Leftovers for the rest.
Wednesday: Zuppa Toscana
Thursday: Irish Beef Stew
Friday: Leftovers or out. Nano's older kids might be staying with us over the weekend, so what to stay flexible.
Saturday: Pollo en salsa blanca. Really easy chicken in white sauce that dad used to make for us at the restaurants when we were little. Have we posted the recipe here before?
Sunday: Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Balsamic Glazed Pork tenderloin
What do yall have going on??
