Life changes & makedinnereasy.com

Kari is reading a book all about some guy who goes around changing his routine. He lives like George Washington for a month, by the teachings of the Bible (to the letter) another month, or at least something like this. I loved stories about life changing decisions; 'Into the Wild', 'You Shall Know Our Velocity' and most recently 'Kari and I getting Married'.

So in this vein and on a small scale, I thought Kari and I could switch roles. We have clear division of labor like she said..... so I went into this knowing I'd get the short end of the stick. She does a lot more than I do because she is stuck in an unfortunate employment holding pattern while we wait for our move.

Less than 1 minute later I was printing out the shopping list for the week. makedinnereasy.com - They were not the recipes that I would have chosen, but it's dinner and I wanted vareity, not just my favorites. This site has 5 new meals per week and a shopping list that gives all the ingredients! Yes! Still I might look for a more appropriate site; as we now have a freezer full of the rest of 'serves 5-6'.

So after week one, all has been quite tasty. The rest of the chores have gone well and I think Kari might come around to the realization that I help out around the house more than she knows. And Vice-Versa

Happy Changed Year
