Why, the weekend has just not enough hours for me to do things I need to do. Saturday usually starts with driving Zach to his enrichment classes (sportsarama and dinosaur digs). I get two Zachless hours and I do not waste time doing house chores and running errands. When I picked him up at eleven, I suggested a pizza lunch around the corner of our house. We stopped by our house and got a boxed apple juice ( so I don't have to pay another dollar fifty on top of the two-dollar fifty slice of cheese. Yes, I'm quite the cheapo.)He brought his mini lego set and worked on a little car while munching on his pizza---I read (trying to finish) Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. After Zach's hassle-free lunch, we went home and I ate some dungennes crab, alone and in peace. What uninterrupted bliss! (So I could eat in peace and at leisure, I let Zach play on the Ipad (the ultimate babysitter). Steve who was in Manhattan for a whole day of class called during his lunchtime and suggested we grill some chicken and veggie burgers for dinner. Luckily I have one whole organic chicken thawing in my fridge (our first bbq for the season). For sides, we roasted some sweet yams and harvested mustard and broccoli sprouts for salad and topping to the veggie burger. Dessert was a simple melted bittersweet almond chocolate on slices of banana. What a beautiful day this turned out to be---one that ended spent with family.
