my baby won't sleep

i know it is hard to believe when you see a picture as sweet as this but it is true. her timing is all off, she wakes up as soon as the bean is sleeping and she simply won't sleep. and how can i cook if my baby won't sleep?

well, i have to take a look in the freezer. and also the fridge. there are meals in there i just know it. so i have decided to take stock and then i can figure out what we are eating this week. you see, there was no big cook this weekend. shame shame i know. (if you want to know why i will explain it at the end of this taking stock moment.) i got a napa from the farm so i am planning a tofu/napa/turk night even though it was not precooked. maybe i'll find a morning i can cook. although, before that i have to find a time to get to the grocery store. note to self, go shopping you have nothing in the fridge but your farm pick up!

ok, so what is in my freezer. monday night = chili. gohan made it when she was here and i have enough left frozen for one dinner. it is super yummy on the parmesan couscous made by near east (http://neareast.com/#products/parmesanpilaf). my grocery store sells these on special for a dollar a few times a year and i always stock up. yum.

tuesday = veggie soup. i made it with farm veggies when i was still pregnant. it is healthy which scores points in my book these days as i am trying to drop some of the crazy poundage i layered on while i was growing this latest babe.

wednesday = quesadillas! i bought the cheese and tortillas for these last week and never used them cause i had so much niku jaga. i can sautee some fresh veggies from the farm to throw in or if i am really together i can boil some of the chicken to shred for them too. yay for a second night with a reason to use sour cream. my all time favorite food.

thursday = napa/tofu/chicken. i better have made it to the store by thursday! and maybe gran gran woo woo can help out with the kids one day this week freeing my hands for some mid week cooking. especially if i cook for her too. better call her and arrange this help.

friday = um...it is only monday. i seriously am surprised i made it this far in the planning. i am going to live on the edge and leave friday open. i might even ask woo woo dada to pick us up some take out (gasp). shhhhhhhh, don't tell gohan. i don't want to let her down.

now, the dish on the lack of cooking this weekend. you see, woo woo gramps (phew calling him that makes me laugh) is the head honcho of a local event that takes place each september. he does a great job with it and i even enjoy the event myself but he steals woo woo dada all weekend long! to help him! that means i am in charge of the bean and the chick pea with out another set of hands to make the big cooking easier. and lets face it, i was looking for an excuse to take a weekend off. also, i was very very busy getting myself ready to go to the event which involved packing an all day diaper bag for two kids. all day + two kids = big ol' bag. so you see, it is really not my fault.

this week i am bound and determined to use my farm veggies up before the next pick up and get my bottom organized for a big cook this coming weekend.

go team!
