One little grat (for BD)--Tonight's Supper

So in his "spare time," BD's been whipping up these yummy vegetarian casseroles and freezing them (so his offspring doesn't have to live off soy dogs and macacaroni, I guess).

So tonight, Hank and I had THIS for dinner: Homemade Shepherd's Pie with green beans, peas, potatoes, carrots, onions, turnips, and those crumbled soymeat thingies. Yum!

It was so sweet. Hank was lolling in his high chair, looking bored and a little depressed--probably because the kid's seen the future as far as dinner goes and, let me tell you, it ain't pretty.

And I said, Hereya go, Honey. Here's dinner! And I plopped a big wad of Pie down on his little tray.

And his eyes grew round and big and he said: Nam nam. Nam! Dada!
Which is Hankspeak for this: Holy Jesus, Mother! What is this tasty treat? No, no, don't tell me. Papa cooked!

And I said: That's right, Sugar. Now eat your dinner.

So here's a big yahoo to BD. He won't see this, but the minute he gets home I'm gonna tell him thanks for looking out for Hank and me.
