Its been a while since the last update - what can I say, I’ve been busy whipping up gourmet meals in the kitchen. Trader Joe’s frozen food bags are considered gourmet right? Actually, truth is - the only thing I’ve made from the ground up (twice) is this ridiculously awesome Key Lime Pie, which is just as equally easy as it is ridiculous. And no, I’m proud to report that I didn’t make it twice because I jacked up the first one, I made it twice because a) the first time around it was a hit (all of those plates were filled and emptied above), and b) Mike wasn’t home the first time around and was insanely jealous that my family got to indulge in the exquisite fare and he missed out. I’m likely exaggerating by flinging around adjectives like “exquisite” - but you know what, none of my fam ralphed immediately onto the plates after taking that first bite, so it was Emily for the win. I had already had a semi-loss earlier, when someone suggested ordering pizza in, and I was all “Wait! I am so prepared! I have a —- wait for it —- DiGiorno Pizza in the freezer! I’ll just pop that baby in, and dinner. is. served. !!!” I was SO excited for having such an effortless and savvy solution, beaming with glory, when I busted it out and all of them took one look at the hor d’oeuvre size snack and melted into a fit of laughter, because oh wait, how is an 8 slice pizza supposed to feed 6 grown people. Whoops.
Needless to say - I messed that one up, but I think the Key Lime Pie from out-of-nowhere helped a ton. At least my it helped my domestification self esteem! :)
