I Like The Kind of Dinners...

Where I make egg rolls for an appetizer to a much bigger dinner...


And everyone decides they'd just rather have them for dinner and nothing else. And they want to eat their egg rolls while watching mindless TV, in this case Bullwinkle and Rocky, and read their books about how to build a deck, (obviously that's David) and disobey all the rules about how families should eat together at the table. How we should be having stimulating conversation and sitting up straight in our chairs.

Bah Humbug. I sometimes need a dinner like this.


Because the Fourth of July is over. We ate a lot of food together, and cooked together, and ran around playing with our friends in the grass and the woods, and demo'd some of the bigger parts of our country house, (picture me with a crowbar and matted hair) and had some seriously late sleepovers, where all the kids slept together in the same bed and that was fun, but didn't get any of us very much sleep...



And now we need to recover.


So, give us bad TV, home-made egg rolls and Daddy's lap. That is just the post-holiday therapy we need.

PS: I use Steamy Kitchen's recipe for egg rolls. I adapt them pretty heavily these days, but this is a terrific egg roll recipe from her mom, with a great wrapping pictorial. Try them. They rock.

We've got no home reno action at the moment, no guests for the long weekend, and no big parties, but we still ate only strawberry shortcake for dinner the other night.

I remember so fondly the summer dinners when my Dad would stop by a farm near us on the way home and buy a bushel of corn. Dinner? Corn on the cob. Nothing else. Messy, buttery, six kids chomping to their hearts content good. Sometimes it's the simplest things; why mess with success?

I remember one time taking Annie and Evan for ice cream for dinner. Annie cried because it was "weird". Evan thought it was the coolest idea ever. I hoped it would teach Annie to relax and let go of "rules" a little. It didn't. Both kids have the exact temperments they had when they were 5. Evan would still think it is cool and Annie would think it was "stupid".

During the school year the family has to be on a certain routine so when summer comes, it's so nice to be able to vary from that and be relaxed about meals and mealtimes.
Growing up my father was very strict about dinner. It had to be served by 5:00 o'clock everyday, everyone at the table, eat what was put in front of you and all of it and no talking during it! I hated that and found dinners to be stressful occasions. Today, my husband and I don't eat dinner until 7:00 p.m. and depending on what we are having, we will eat it in the diningroom or in the den, watching T.V. and we talk!

Peter said...

First, Rocky and Bullwinkle is not mindless, it's genius. Second, amen to the all-eggroll dinner. If my wrappers weren't frozen right now, I'd follow suit this very evening.

Warner said...

As above Rocky and Bullwinkle is not mindless, and my parenting hand book said eat together, not eat around the table in chairs

I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world had crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure for Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes,Shingles, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetes,Fibroid,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease,Cushing’s disease,Heart failure,Multiple Sclerosis,HypertensionFatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Autism,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone ToxicitySyndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans ProgresS sclerosis,Seizures,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic diseases,,Copd,Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.

months ago I felt some pains and I went to the hospital my doc told me I had Herpes about 1 year ago and I need to start the treatment early, he gave me some medicine to be taking and I told him no I’ll not, because I hated taking medicine when I won’t not see cure for the purpose. After I got home I started getting worried searching for strong advice and I found valid natural treatment online a lot of people says they got herpes cure from DR ODUDU and I contacted DR ODUDU that same day I purchase his cure online, after three weeks of taking the herbal treatment i got cured totally. i tested negative all thank to DR ODUDU you can reach out to him through his email: [dr.oduduherbalhome@gmail.com ] or message him on WhatsApp +2348101571054 stay safe and bless you
