Sorry, forgot to do Monday's post so you get two today!
Monday is Made (a Mistake) an effort Monday....
Ever made a mistake? I've made plenty! But, it was all part of an effort being made to try to be a good friend, a good neighbor, a good wife, a good parent, a good sister, a good daughter. I tried-I made an effort, but sometimes it doesn't go as planned.
For example, I was going to teach my girls to plan dinners and help make them so I gave them a kids cook-book and they could pick out anything they wanted and we would shop together and we would make the meal together.
Sounds like an awesome plan, right?
It went well for my oldest. She picked out Hot Dog boats and strawberry soup. O.K....I can do this. We bought hot dogs, made it into a boat by cutting cheese into a triangle mast and putting it on a toothpick--it didn't stand up like the picture but you could kind of get the idea. Then the strawberry soup was interesting but good--I've never made it before so it was fun to try something new (it must have been Friday).
Then it was my middle daughter's turn. She picked out fondue so we went to the store (or maybe two stores) and found all the weird cheeses you need and all the goodies to dip and we cut the cheese and the goodies and very slowly melted the cheese and got ready to eat.
She asked me "Are you sure this is right?" I said "Yes, this is exactly what the menu says". So we sit down to eat and she dips some bread in the cheese, takes it to her mouth and tastes a tiny bit and spits it out and says "Yuck!!" I asked her what was wrong and she said "It's not like the one we had before!"
Well, the one we had before was a dessert fondue with chocolate...
Did she really think I was going to make chocolate fondue for dinner?
I tried...I made an effort...but we stopped kids dinner after that...
