The new stove shipped!

Well Greek Hot Dogs didn't go over too well. In fact, I never even got to make them. We talked about it in the car on the way home and Aaron crinkled up his nose so tight that I just made regular diet hot dogs with fat free turkey chili, mustard, onions, tomotoes and whole wheat buns. Sounds boring doesn't it?

I did make an artichoke and black olive salad with olive oil and vinegar and seasonings to go with it though.

Oh, well. I guess it wasn't the best of ideas that I've had.

Tomorrow night I have to work late, which is very rare. Aaron is going to the dentist for phase 2 of his many phases of dental work that he needs done. So, I think I'll go to Subway for a turkey sub tomorrow night. I'm not sure what Aaron will be able to eat but I hear that it may be filet of fish at McDonald's. Not the best choice, but considering what he's going through and the fact that it will be "soft" food, I won't put up too much of a fuss about fast food.

The Viking professional 6-burner stove that we ordered from New York for our new kitchen has shipped!!! The new stainless steel refrigerator and dish washer are in at Lowes and ready to be delivered as soon as we say so. I still need to pick out a microwave, a hood vent, a new kitchen faucet, stone flooring, stones for the archway over the stove and lighting. But one day at a time! Demolition of the old kitchen is scheduled for Monday, so we have time.

I've been looking at some 30-minute Rachel Ray meals from her magazine. Once we move into the basement (Monday) I'll need some quick meals to cook during the week that are easy to make. I'll have limited space and time with all the construction and chaos going on in our home. I've found a few that look good and I will share them when I make them. I love the fact that she's trying to help get kid's school lunches healthier. Kids are so much heavier now and it will be that much harder for them to lose weight later. I commend her for this!
