Breakfast: hot chocolate, breakfast burritos, apricots, strawberries and grape at the swim meet.
Lunch: Taco Bell en route to Raging Waters
Dinner: New England boiled dinner. Lane came with us to Raging Waters and then came to our house afterwards to get a run down on the house sitting he is doing for us when we go to Germany. One of my kids asked what was for dinner (still at the park) and I replied that it was either going to be bean burritos or New England boiled dinner. Lane lit up at the mention of New England boiled dinner, so that was what I made.
It still isn't Jason's favorite. He says, "I just don't understand why have this over pot roast which has basically the same ingredients but real meat?" (I do use canned corned beef in New England boiled dinner.) I relied that it didn't have cabbage (I might add that to my next pot roast, though), was a little lighter flavor and required a longer cooking time. Then we mentioned how my brother, Sam, has commented how he loves my pot roast, so I make an effort to have to when I know he is coming.
I told Jason how New England dinner was just great food - I loved smelling it as it cooked. I told him it was like comfort food from your childhood, but healthy. Jason seemed baffled. I said, like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, but healthy - though it isn't a really good example since I don't love it - in fact, when I occasionally make it for the kids, I think I want a little bit, but when I eat more than a bite or two, I always get a headache. Jason said it was just like that - food from my childhood. I pointed out that it was a reasonable healthy option unlike Mac 'n' Cheese and that was my point - comfort food and still relatively whole food.
It is rewarding to cook for brothers who like my food.
