Fiesta Friday #430

These are the priorities in my life right now:

1. Weeding
2. Mulching
3. Weeding and mulching

ALL my spare time is consumed by those chores.  Meals have become predictable – Chinese takeouts, Chipotle drive-thrus, and Panera pick-ups. My poor family! Or rather, poor me! This is why someone else needs to learn to cook!

I did bring it up a few days ago, but the husband wasn’t convinced. He said and I quote, “Why? I can just go and get the food, whatever you want. That’s how I provide.” Oh, brother… I hate to say this but the saying “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” comes to mind. He’s an old dog. Loyal and devoted, just can’t learn a new trick, i.e., cooking.

Yesterday I was determined to tackle my dinner dilemma head-on. So in between weeding and mulching, I somehow was able to put this on the table.

Chicken Parm. From scratch. I kid you not!

What can I say? I’m a badass multitasking superwoman! Okay, seriously, I circumvented the normal multi-steps in Chicken Parm-making by simply foregoing the breading and frying. I have to say it came out excellent. I’ll have to write down the recipe one of these days.
