One more before I fly away

I’m getting in a couple of entries because I’m sure I’m not going to have computer access much when I’m in North Carolina which is fine by me but i cooked a lot today and i would like to share a bit more of it before i leave for about 5 days. My bags are packed I’m about to leave for the airport in three hours.

Well now seeing as I cook for my sister and brother in law most of the time, I hate when i leave because i know they go out to eat or eat some weird bagel or just pot stickers and i just don’t like a lot of the choices out there. I’d rather just cook something so i know whats going into it and even more so now my sister doesn’t really set a toe it the kitchen anymore which is fine when I’m here but when I’m not it produces a bit of a problem. So to adjust to that problem i decided to spend about 3 or 4 hours in the kitchen today making food for them for when I’m gone pack up the fridge and leave it to beaver .

Plus for my own sake i had to get in a good amount of cooking or while I’m gone I’ll go crazy…
