chickpea, feta, and cilantro salad, originally uploaded by Griffin Creek.

I've been enjoying some new cookbooks and there's another one on the way.

* Thank you for all the comments on my last post , we are all healthy and doing well (except for my poor husband who has a torn ACL).

Sick on Spring Break

The girls were home for Spring break this past week and we had big plans. Well, not really big plans, but we sure were planning on having a lot of fun and getting ready for Easter. On Sunday night the Wee One came down with a fever but she seemed to be a little better the next morning. So, as planned, we took a little trip to the Point Defiance Zoo. The drive down was longer than the time spent at the zoo, the girls were melting quickly. By the time we made it home there were chills and fevers and all three girls were put to bed. By Wednesday the girls were on the mend, no more fevers but still the stuffy nose and that nasty cough that never seems to go away, and that's when it happened. It came on so fast and BOOM, the only thing I could do was to call for reinforcements. THANK GOD for an unemployed sister, a retired Aunt and Nana, a wonderful husband and a loving Tutu (my mom). I was able to stay in bed right up to Easter. There were dyed eggs and Easter baskets, but I was unable to make the Hot Crossed buns that I had been planning for Easter morning and poor Nana had to take over the Easter dinner that I was going to host. So here I am, on the mend, no more fever or chills but still that stuffy nose and darn cough typing away on the computer in an empty home on Easter while the rest of the family is enjoying ham and scalloped potatoes at Nana's house. Damn flu!
