Indeed.<br />They are messy, dirty, demanding, sniveling at times, snotty most of the times, hyped when you are not, sleeping when you need them hyped and I am convinced that the legs are actually food storage containers because they amount of food these suckers can pack away is just amazing.<br /><br />Yet, we love them more than they will ever know and would gladly give our lives.<br /><br />Our lives - of course - but strawberry shortcake leftovers - not so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35868329.post-58729839799398152362012-08-08T16:28:29.689-04:002012-08-08T16:28:29.689-04:00Oh my, wait until the boys become teens!

I have one boy and when he hit middle school, I had to join Sam's Club to buy in bulk just so I wouldn't have to do a grocery shop twice per week! <br /><br />The frittata recipe sounds divine! I plan to try it this week! With far fewer eggs, though!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01677089321733097394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35868329.post-41942345255278003532012-08-07T22:22:29.401-04:002012-08-07T22:22:29.401-04:00Lard!

This weekend Sam grilled chicken- enough for two families of 6 (so we thought)... and even though it was just our family in the end, THERE WERE NO LEFTOVERS. Which just goes to show that we shouldn't have friends over. Ever. Let me know if you figure out a way around this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35868329.post-67932094996246755282012-08-05T17:32:07.440-04:002012-08-05T17:32:07.440-04:00If you want leftovers, you will need to cook even ...If you want leftovers, you will need to cook even more massive amounts than you think you need- and then prepare for when you have Teenagers, and even that won't be enough. <br /><br />On the weekends, we've taken to cooking 2 meals at once. Our current hobby is the newly built Smoker, and once the charcoal is going and it's at a steady temperature, it's easier to keep going than to stop and start again the next day! But it's not as much work as cooking allll day, making meals for the week ahead, either.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02505134587395171732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35868329.post-86025002442825827862012-08-05T16:14:54.278-04:002012-08-05T16:14:54.278-04:00I feel your pain.
