I figure a follow-up post is only fair, since my rant last week detailing my sister’s eating habits and how different they are from mine.
She ended up changing her schedule and only coming for one night, which really relieved my stress in the meal planning department. Sometimes I stress about things that really aren’t that crucial.
So, what did we eat?*
Saturday afternoon: I usually do my food shopping on Saturday and Sunday, so options in the house were pretty slim. We opted to get subs from a local establishment, which meant everyone could eat what they wanted (Me: A grilled veggie sub. Her: roast beef sub with veggies. Brian: Sausage and veggies, if you’re interested)
Saturday night: A revisit of my veggie lasagna, with the addition of ground turkey. I also made a quick bread from How to Cook Everything Vegetarian, which I really should post about. Apparently it was fine, because my sister ate it without complaint. After going to see one of her high school friends in a play, we returned and snacked on an experiment I was trying: frozen chocolate mousse. It was pretty darn good.
Saturday morning: She snacked on toast and butter when she got up (3 hours after me…we’re also really different in our sleep habits. I think I had a bagel and cream cheese). We headed to Cricket Creek Farm which is still one of my favorite places to visit the calves. I offered to stop by the store to get my sister some lunch, but she opted for another piece of lasagna (I’m telling you–you have to try it!)
So, my little sister didn’t starve while she was here. She just needs to visit longer next time so I can make more food for her. And because she’s awesome.
*If you’re new to Relishments, be advised that I don’t usually post lists of what I’ve eaten. It just seemed to make sense in this case.
Umm I really think my family had that same couch growing up!!
Yay for not starving! I will note that when Ryn came to visit me a month ago I got her to eat all sorts of exciting things, including this: http://www.afoodcoma.com/barley-with-roasted-portobello-mushrooms-peppers-and-halloumi/. She said she liked it, but then again, could have just been faking it. ;)
I remember her eating a lot of sliced green peppers at lunchtime when we were kids. And pita.
I wasn’t faking, portobello mushrooms are my friend. And pepperoni on a pita is delicious.
