It's a recent goal of mine to learn to cook a bit. I don't have any crazy aspirations...I'm married to a chef. I'm complacent. But now that said chef husband is working nights, that leaves supper up to mom. And though I'd be satisfied with peanut butter sandwiches and cereal, I should probably instill better eating habits in my children right? Wait...Can one instill good eating habits in a toddler? Eh, debatable. I digress.
So the other night I made dinner. Breaded pan-fried orange roughy with fancy chef butter that my husband makes. For those of you who are thinking right now that having a pat of butter on fish sounds a bit odd, I'm with ya. Or was until I tried it. This is something Danny usually makes and it's simply perfect. But in an attempt to give him a relaxing evening, I took on putting food on the table. Anyway, fish and corn and spinach balls. Spinach balls is a fantastic little recipe from my stepmom. Delish. Okay, so the icing on the cake? My two year old, Colson...LOVED IT. How great is that? She ate probably as much fish as I did, scarfed the corn and even tried a spinach ball and said it was good...and they're green.
And last night I made baked chicken with pesto and havarti with dill. But here's the cool part. I made the pesto! Okay, perhaps this is less exciting to others than it is to me. I used a mortar and pestle too. Old school. It was lovely. And I was beaming with pride.
Alright, enough success stories. Let's have today's fail. I forgot to pay the rent. This has never happened to me. Well, our rent is considered late on the 4th and I didn't realize my oversight until 7ish o'clock on...the 4th. Great. And while I was hoping to plead insanity, I was still charged the extra $75. Rules are rules. Real life, you suck.
I had other, probably more interesting and important, things to blog about, but I'm just not feeling it tonight. And hubby's on the way home. So, Mexicans, celebrate history and heritage and victories over greater forces...Americans, go get wasted. ¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

I can't believe they charged you, and $75? Why so much? Rules are rules, but generally there is some first time offender consideration. There were times when we dropped off the check at Lakewood Villas at night on the 3rd and that was ok, I think even once we paid on the 4th by accident and I just included the late fee and I got a notice on my door saying we had overpaid and had a credit of $35. They were so good about when we moved out to move to Jacksonville, I loved it there.
