I have three kids still at home, so cooking is mandatory. Teens are easier to live with if their tummies are full.

I work from home and live in a rural area, so I've learned that trying to both shop and cook on a weeknight leads to lots of hangry people.

When H is not traveling, he does a midweek shopping trip and cooks half the meals, but when he's gone it only worksifI do one big trip.

I'm glad to hear things were better yesterday. Hope today is good as well.
