After we picked Joseph up from school yesterday, we went to our Parish to help the Youth Group prepare a meal for a local soup kitchen. I picked up ham slices on the way that had been pre-sliced, so we only had to pop those in the oven. Someone donated some cans of little white potatoes, and I had bought some green beans. I roasted some pork hocks, boiled them for a while, then cooked the green beans in them. The boys cut the potatoes in half, and I made an olice oil and herb mixture to pour over them, then we baked them. When the food was done, we drove over to Worcester to deliver it. The rest of the folks stayed to serve the food, but we had to get back for Choir practice at 7:30.

So, after having done all that cooking, we were rolling back into town just after 6, and Joseph asked, what's for supper? I was trying to think of something quick to fix, so he suggested Wendy's, but Clare pointed out that we were near KFC! Oh yeah! We stopped in and picked up some fried chicken and assorted other stuff, so that when we got home, we actually had time to eat before practice. That was a good thing because we didn't get home until almost 10!

We didn't have any leftovers though. ;o)

Whoa! Busy day!!

We rarely ever go out to eat, but I tell ya, this chinese food place down the street (and I mean a block or so away) is gonna be the death of me! LOL

But glory be!!!! You won't believe! I talked Matthew into trying the sesame chicken and he LOVED it! Next thing I knew, I was sitting in the living room floor dividing my luncheon special into 3 different plates! (Joshua will eat just about anything.)

It had chopped scallions on it, but they were easy for Matthew to remove. He's really getting past his aversion to stuff like that. Used to, if it was on the same PLATE he wouldn't eat it. This time, he just picked it off and gobbled up the chicken.

I feel like celebrating!!
