day 49


So since the lockdown we do a lot of apero dinatoires which is basically when you turn the snacks you munch on during pre-dinner drinks into a “real” meal thus avoiding having to prepare something substantial after drinking.  This happened naturally not only due to the fact that after a long day with the kids we need drink but also because right before said drink I do a sweep of food/snacks left by mentioned kids littered all over the apartment during the course of the day.  And this becomes the dinatoire part of the apero.

Husband:  Apero dinatoire. Again?
Me:  What? [Looking to see if he notices our dinner looks like scraps given to a dog]
Husband:  [Looking like he notices]
Me:  So… what do you want to drink?  

It’s not easy cooking two meals a day, seven days a week.  My husband and I under normal circumstances have between us five solid recipes and the rest is pasta.  We live in the city and work full time.  The evenings are a mad rush to put something nutritious in our bodies knowing full well that if we want a good meal we go out.  

So much for that.
