Went to a birthday party on Saturday night for Sabine, one of our book club members. The rest of the book club bought her a Lulu Guinness bag as secret surprise. We were more excited than the birthday girl as she unwrapped the box. (I like this photo below because I took it right after she spotted the LG initials so she suspects what her present is but can't be sure.)
Fish Looking at Me (and trying to make me feel guilty)
I asked my husband Mel to get some fish for me to make, and he didn't get fillets but a whole fish. What the hell was I gonna do with that? I took them out to put them in foil with some spices then onto the grill and they just looked at me like I was a bad person:
I can just hear this one pleading -- Please don't cook and eat me!
Well, we did eat him but it was such a pain to try and get meat from a whole fish with all the bones and everything that it wasn't worth it.
Chaos at home
My daughter and son are getting ready to go to London tomorrow. She works in a medical office, and she got my son Mikey work experience for two weeks. He's going to live in London with her during the week. I'm trying to pack for him but honestly, he'd go up there without any clothes or a toothbrush if I didn't intevene.
The house will be so quiet without the kids. I forgot and did food planning for the whole family so we'll have way too much to eat during the week. Next week, however, I think I'll go on a cooking strike and relax until Mikey returns home.
