Lunch

For the past six years (since being a mother of young children), most days my lunch is less than exciting. Quite often, it is actually awful. Ramen noodles, macaroni and cheese, and PB&J are the usual menu choices. After contemplating the choices, my decision is usually made NOT by what I would like, but by how much time I have or what the kids want to eat that day. Today, however, I indulged myself by creating (that's how amazing it felt) THIS lunch:

(This picture really doesn't do this meal justice.)

My tomato plants are producing very nicely right now, and I decided to take advantage of that by having a BLT and some homemade salsa with chips! And yes, it was divine! Of course, I made a BLT for Mylie as well, fully knowing that I would have to finish hers, too! (But what a better way to stuff myself than with a bowl of now-cold mac and cheese, right?)

YUM! That definitely beats our regular lunch menu. In fact, sometimes I keep my kids busy and hope they forget about lunch altogether, which of course, seldom works. BTW, I love your blog, too.

Wow, I can't believe your garden is still growing! Ours is dying. I had to pull the tomato plants a month ago when we got to close to freezing one night and they died. It looks delicious!

On a seperate subject:
Caitlin's camera was a present for her birthday, but it is made by
vtech, and it is pretty much indestructible. A great kid camera!
