My daughter and husband are committed to doing Weight Watchers and were quite worried about getting off track when Aunt Shari and I were there. We vowed and declared that we would do the dinner cooking according to whatever recipes she provided. And we did.
Or should I say we tried? Some of the recipes were labor-intensive. The one that took the most time and effort (that Shari tackled) was the least satisfactory. (Can't even remember what it was now.) I fixed an enchilada soup that came out okay...and a couple of batches of Zero-Point Soup. I did a stir-fry supper, and Shari provided a baked steak supper, both on our own recipes...and no one went hungry.
Everyone took care of themselves for breakfast and lunch. Supper was a family deal. Oh...there were a few mornings when I made a hot breakfast for the kids as they headed off for school. I was accused of "enabling" them...but I think everyone understood that this wasn't something that would go on forever. I can spoil my grandchildren. It's my job!!
In spite of all, we got by. We didn't have to send out for pizza...nor did we eat out much. I think Denis brought home Subway sandwiches one afternoon. We did eat out for Shari's birthday and at least two other times--for the Christmas Ship experience (more on that later), again at Pike Place Market, and Beardslee's close to our departure time. It ain't cheap eating out in the Seattle area!!
