At Home

There are lots of things Chris and I have/had planned to do during the princess' absence. Many of them have been done, some will still come. But, sheesh, it's mid-August and the evenings are already getting chilly.

And I'm having trouble writing about sex and spanking. No, I don't know why. Yes, we're doing it. As frequently as ever, sometimes more so. In fact, while making dinner tonight, Chris grabbed my hand, dragged me over to the sofa, dropped me onto his lap, pulled down my panties, and went right to it.

Then he had to stop so that he could stir the rice.

Somewhat later, he reminded me that there would be a lot more of that - that being immediate consequences for sauciness - if we had evenings alone more frequently. So I interpret that he means that I can tease with impunity as soon as my mother and daughter arrive next week, right?

In any event, another blogger I read posted her weekly menu. My weekly menu starts on whatever day I do the grocery shopping and varies based on schedules, the presence of children and/or company, and the season. But here's this week:

Thursday: grilled London broil (on sale!), chicken-flavored rice, peach cobbler (it was not a healthy meal)
Friday: flank steak stuffed with salami, provolone, onion & basil, diced gold potatoes, salad
Saturday: out somewhere, we don't know where yet, maybe Soup Plantation?
Sunday: chipotle-marinated chicken breast sandwiches with jack cheese & guacamole, corn on the cob
Monday: cream cheese lasagna (this is a secret family recipe ... okay, it came from a magazine decades ago)
Tuesday: tacos made with carne asada (Chris makes the carne asada from skirt steak)
Wednesday: appetizer sampler (crackers & imported cheeses, salami, cauliflower and carrots with dip, etc)
Thursday: spaghetti & meatballs
Friday: out with mom

I have to make a menu to know what groceries to buy. Chris sometimes contributes ideas for the menu, and I always ask before trying a new recipe because when I don't it is invariably a failure.

Lots of red meat this week - next week, not so much. We are indulging because the little one is not here. She does not like red meat as well. So future plans include omelets, stuffed chicken breasts, pancakes (yes for dinner) and vegetable soup with grilled cheese. We had italian out last night, too. It's my favorite cuisine so thank goodness Chris likes pasta!

School starts soon, and Chris just said I should go put on a school uniform.

At least he's not the principal!
