Last night I asked Aaron to pick up some food on the way home. I had worked on work, and another project, Reuben had been very busy, I hadn't worked out, it was dark and wet and cold, I had hours of more work to do, AND we might move to Texas in a few days so I didn't feel like making dinner. Aaron asked what I wanted. I said I didn't care. It could be gruel. I just didn't want to make it.
Aaron came home with two take out boxes filled with some of the most wonderful food I have ever eaten. I've had Ethiopian before, but the food we got last night was amazing. Sweet and rich with lots of fresh vegetables, spices and vegetarian protein. I was in heaven. As a MAJOR bonus Ethiopian food is meant to be eaten one handed using the injera (crepe like bread) to scoop up the food. Genius! The food is perfect for new parents. I was happy. Reuben way happy. Aaron was happy. To find something so wonderful on such a dark day restored a bit of my faith in the world.

WHAT? Where in Texas?? Please say Houston.
Delicious ethnic food is a great benefit of living in a city. Yum!
That food looks really weird, but I want to try some next time I come over. Katy, hope all your projects, including my favorite one, Reuben, turn out great.

I have times like that...don't ask what I want to eat, just as long as I don't have to decide/and make it. I am glad the food turned out to be yummy...you needed something positive to happen
Are you guys really moving to Texas? That would be a big bummer! (For us!)
Texas? Crazy, and yes, that food does look weird! The bread stuff looks scary, but it sounds yummy! Good luck with your move if you do move, and everything. You sound like you have a lot on your plate ;-) right now, so I guess just take it a day at a time. Sometimes it's best not to think about it all, and just go about your day, knowing each day will come regardless, and just doing your best! Good luck!
Tyler always gets to go on fun trips and eat cook food. Ethiopian is one of his favs, he even likes the raw meat that they serve!!
Whoa, Texas? Where and why? Good luck with the replacement job search!
Also, I need to add your blog to our list--it's hilarious!
