This Time It Is Abel's Cooking

Well, this weekend I was supposed to study a lot, so I didn't make any plans to cook some swanky new dish. Instead, Abel volunteered to do a barbecue, especially as we were driving to Costco. You can get four huge slices of New York steak for half the price of a Steak Sandwich, so we went with that. I like the little fatty part at the end of each little slice. I made a salad with baby lettuce, tomatoes and feta cheese, and put the sliced beef on top of it. I could have whipped up a dressing, but decided to go with the Wishbone Italian, we have just too much of it at home. Wow, the kids liked the meat, the leftover mac-n-Velveeta and tortillas. Our neighbors were in attendance, because I promised Saarah that she could invite their daughter, Bailey, over to our house if she cleaned up the playroom. You should have seen the kids working at the cleaning up project, they were positively motivated! I know now the perfect bribe: just offer a little grrrfriend time for them, and they are perfect little housekeepers all of a sudden! (I also offered Saarah a Nintendo DS if she did her wakeup routine all by herself, but as of yet, she is still not getting one.)

Anyway, because of finals, I may not be cooking that much, I still wanna do the eggplant parmesan this Friday, after studying Evidence for five days straight, I will need the distraction. And we will have beignets on the weekend after my finals.
