The first week of January is such a cliche

That's what my husband said at date night.  Kind of like first week resolutions are for suckers, so lets do our worst.  Well, I totally bought into this.  Hence, there were martinis, clams, dumplings, scallops, short ribs.  Wine.  It was going so well.  And then the dessert menu came around.  I was like oh are you kidding me I want to vomit but they had this thing called Hot Saucy Doughnut Platter that he thought would be a good farewell to week one, January.  Cliche week.  Here's what it looked like.

Expectations were high!  And then the waitress showed us how to inject our dough balls with the Hot Sauce (chocolate, caramel, berry) of our choice from tiny little eyedrop squeeze bottles.  Well it didn't work at all.  So we had doughballs, no hot sauce.  Husband finally got one eyedropper to work and here is a photo of that.

This is how we feel about novelty desserts.  We had the other balls wrapped up for our kids but left them at the restaurant accidentally.  Totally on purpose.

Love,

Feeding your people

I am not an organized person. I do, however, need to feed my children three times a day excluding snacks. You need to get your shit in order if you have people to feed. My current solution is a daily run to the local close but gross market for some last minute dinner items. Mostly from the freezer. It's not working so well for me. They are over it and I think it's time to take a page from my superstar sister in laws book. She plans a menu for the week, so smart, and does her shopping once a week. How great is that?

Love,
Kristen
