One day (last Monday) I felt like staying home all day and cooking. I made pasta & meatballs from scratch, cooked all day and a beef stew. This will get us through the whole week perhaps. It was really pretty outside. Sometimes just being able to hang out on the porch in Portland is a mini adventure/vacation.
I wish I had stopped there on the porch, but no I talked my tired husband on going on a little adventure before dinner! I promised we'd not get caught in rush hour traffic (I had lots of secret streets.) We would listen to lovely music and he could even read his book!
Anyway I did do all that, but in the middle of a rain downpour my lovely car decided to die and we were stuck on a busy street during rush hour with food waiting at home. Yay for that adventure? Our son picked us up & instructions for the tow truck were given.
Fortunately, the yummy dinner was waiting for us anyway!
