Dinner

3:00pm
Ponder possible dinner options.
Look in fridge to check for available ingredients.
Ecstatic to find ground turkey already cooked.
Also discover chips in cupboard.
Cheese: Check... Salsa: Check... Sour cream: Nope (Oh well. Sorry Matt.)... Avocados for homemade guacamole: check.
Nachos it is.



4:45pm
Serve kids leftovers from yesterday.



5:00pm
Kids playing nicely downstairs.
Put preliminary guacamole ingredients into cup and turn on Magic Bullet. Instantly, kids appear to "help".
Joey spoons some avocado into Magic Bullet Cup then turns it on.



5:10pm
Guacamole done. Counter a mess.



7:00pm
Grate cheese. Kiddos magically appear again and request a "really big" slice.



7:30pm
Put meat in skillet. Add water and seasoning while carrying 28lb, almost 2yr old, on hip. Open can of beans and rinse. Leave kitchen to read to said almost 2yr old.



7:45pm
Get up from reading to help Joey with computer. Hear meat sizzling. Catch it just in time.



8:00pm
Put kids in bed. Preheat oven. Assemble nachos.



8:30pm
Pop nachos in oven for 7min. Matt arrives home. Dinner is served.

The only reason Rachel Ray can do 30 minute meals is because she doesn't have so many interruptions.
