Today, my wonderful friend, Joni, came and took me and Lily to run some errands. We didn't get back 'til about 3:15 and still hadn't had lunch or naptime. And I forgot AGAIN to take the meat out for dinner! After having lunch I put Lily down for nap around 3:45. After screaming and crying in all ranges from whining to enraged screams for over an hour, I decided to get her up. I know it's not the end of the world if she doesn't get a nap but it makes my day go some much easier. I currently have to defrost the meat, put away the rest of the groceries, do the dishes and make dinner. I'm not meaning to complain (I just realized that's what it sounded like) I just thought I would share my thoughts. Currently I'm very thankful that she's happy with a baggy of Cheerios watching "Electric Company" on OPB. Hopefully, I will be able to keep her entertained with something (outside of the kitchen) while I do the dishes and make dinner. Fortunately...I'm really looking forward to dinner! Thia meatloaf! YUM! In case you're interested in the recipe (courtesy of the a fore mentioned Joni) here it is...
6 green onions chopped
2/3 c chopped fresh cilantro
Zest of 1 lemon
4 garlic cloves minced
2 lbs ground meat
1 c instant brown rice
2 cans coconut milk
1 ½ c thai peanut sauce
4 tsp. seasame oil
2 T raw sugar (optional)
Makes 24 muffin size baby loafs. First 6 ingredients mix together in a bowl. Add 1c coconut milk and 1c peanut sauce to loaf and sesame oil. Mix well. Put in muffin cups 400 degrees for 30-35 min. Mix remaining coconut milk and peanut sauce and serve with loafs.
Jacob didn't get a nap either and he didn't leave me alone at all today. I tried Cars, Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse. Nothing worked. I share your frustration.
ReplyDeleteI know! It's especially frustrating when you (mommy) look forward to it all day so that you can get a little snooze in as well...such a let down!
