Food!

I'm cooking more now that I'm home.  But I kind of feel like we get stuck in food ruts.  You know, eating the same few things over and over.  Since I'm trying to make something new or different every week-ish, what are some of your favorite go-to meals?

we're still here

I was pretty sure that when we had a baby, there would be tons to blog about.  That was part fact, part fiction.  There are a million adorable things Marin does each day.  Does anyone beside me and a doting relative care?  Probably not.  Do I document them with pictures and video?  Not enough.  Do I know how to upload video from our camcorder?  Not a chance.  So what are we left with?  Not much.  Sorry about that.  I will try to do better.

In the meantime, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of family this weekend.  In addition to caring for my child and taking daily showers, my goals for the week are to get the books put away in the D.A.R. (we got new shelving not long before Marin was born), get the laundry done, open the door for the housekeepers (I will be SO sad when this treat is over...but I conned skillfully negotiated begged Mark to keep a monthly visit through the summer while I'm adjusting to domesticity), and then not mess up the house too much before the family arrives. 

Someone's acting like it's lunch time, so I'd best get.  I'll try to share some pics soon.
