SpringTime

It's officially spring time! The weather has actually stayed fairly warm and it's been raining quite a bit. Most of all, I was able to pick rhubarb!
I cut up about three cups for ourselves and gave the rest to a friend of ours. I'm hoping to make some rhubarb sauce. It's getting to be that time where we'll start making some homemade ice cream which goes great with the rhubarb sauce. We'll have another batch of rhubarb ready to pick soon and I'll be able to make some other rhubarb goodies!

Early Arrival

So our little one came earlier than expected. We did not get all our meals ready before he showed up. My husband has been wonderful since we have all been home and has been cooking for me. He has also managed to make a batch of pulled pork to partially freeze and several pounds of taco meat to freeze as well. He goes back to work soon, so it will be really nice for me to have some of these things to just heat up for lunches. He has realized that it is much easier to cook in the early evening, otherwise our kitchen gets hot quickly. The temperature here has been in the upper 70's, lower 80's these last couple of days and we're trying not to turn our air conditioning on.

My husband has also been making the menus for the week and doing the grocery shopping. He's not doing too bad! He reports why he got what he did and if there was something he didn't get, he explains that too. I am very lucky to have such a supportive, helpful husband.
