if only Chris came home at 6 pm instead of 8 pm
he would've seen me still in my awesome apron, made by my great-grama. I don't wear them often, but yesterday I baked 2 batches of brownies (one with mint extract added; one with white chips added) fried up some bacon for sandwiches, and made 5784924576 pickled beets, because that's how many beets my husband bought. too bad I don't have any cute 1950's dresses... I had jeans and a t-shirt under my apron. and bare feet. and a baby on my hip.
speaking of beets... as I was peeling and slicing them, D kept trying to steal them to eat, and I kept telling him NO! they aren't pickled yet! then I asked myself: WHY are you telling your 2 y/o NOT to eat fresh, raw veggies? so I said, fine, go ahead. eat all the beets you want. I think he only took 2 slices, but I also think L took one after he saw me tell D it was ok.
did I mention ALL my kids like pickled beets? lol. I even let Ingrid try a bit yesterday.
