Grrrr.... what a family (lol)

[Guest guest]

*sigh* I knew I wouldn't be able to get away with making totaly

meatless meals for the whole of my grandparents visit. I usualy can't

even manage it when they aren't here so I wasn't going to try. Last

night I fixed a chicken dish at my mothers requested. It was one of

those there you bake the chicken and rice and cream of mushroom soup

together in a pan. It used to be my very favorite meal. However I set

a goal to not eat meat at all this week, which was hundered slighly

by a McD's salad that I probably wasn't successful picking all the

bacon out of. I've been doing great other than that though. So last

night I fix this dish and left the slot in the pan where my peice of

chicken would have been on top of the rice blank. Well well well,

it's a really good thing I made black eyed pees to go along with the

salad b/c my family ate all my part of the rice while I was eating

up a salad LoL. I usualy eat a pretty good sized salad with every

meal (except breakfast) these days just because it's better than

filling up on what could be a fattening side dish. I was pretty

bummed but kinda found it funny. Anyway grandma insisted on going

back to McD's today for lunch and I got shamed into going. I couldn't

get anything except french fries and seeing thats not very healthy I

decline lunch with the intention of fixing something quick when I got

back home. I would have had another salad but I don't like that feta

cheese they put all over it and anyway I wanted something hot.

Skipping lunch wasn't all that hard b/c my mother told me we were

going out to dinner tonight so I didn't have to cook. I was

envisioning a yummy veggie patch pizza at Applebees and wouldn't you

know they changed their mind. They went to get chicken. Now I can't

help but wonder weather my mom is trying to make things difficult on

purpose or not knowing full well I have a hard time parting with

chicken, but either way it's annoying. Now I'll have to go look for

some pictures online of people doing mean things to chickens to help

me keep my goal and thats not very fun

LoL I'm trying not to be grouchy since it doesn't leave a very good

impression (not to mention being unladylike) but it's kind of hard

since I got myself in a lazy sort of mood and now I don't feel like

cooking and we ate the last of the stuff to make salad with last

night. My mom and grandma probably won't bring any back either even

though I asked them to. I can see it now, " Gee Laia we just forgot " .

 

*Deep Breath* Ah, ok now I've vented and am over it so I guess I

should go get off my lazy butt and see what I can savange for a meal.

LoL, guess I better keep a better eye on whatever I fix if I actualy

want some of it tonight lol

sorry your family is unsupportive. you may have to

keep peanut butter and jelly so you can make a

sandwich when they are inconsiderate of your diet.

anywho, just so you know, mcdonald's french fries are

not vegetarian...they have beef in them.

good luck,

Gosh dinner wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Well except when

they came home and had all this chicken and slaw (I don't like slaw

either lol), and potatoe salad and momma got made b/c I was cooking

and " making the kitchen hot " I believe were her exact words. Well do

you know what? There is barely enough of the veggie meal I made for

me left to eat with a salad tomarrow for lunch. They took one look at

it and everybody had to have a taste or two... or a whole helping.

LoL I was expecting to be eating that for several days since the

recipe says it filled up a whole family at the bottom (bravo whoever

posted the italian throw together dinner!! What a dinner saver!). My

mom, who was the one complaining about me cooking was the one who had

the most of it and raved about how it was " pretty good " . Good thing

I didn't decide to down size the recipe. I swear I'm gonna Have to

eat meat next week I'll starve if they keep cleaning up my meals

(like they did last night) before I get to eat them.

 

Thats right, I read that about the french fries somewhere and had

forgotten. Well now I feel a bit more justified in just having a coke

for lunch there. I got busy when I came home and fogot to cook my

mushrooms I've been saving- hope they haven't gone bad! I haven't

decided how picky I'm going to get about things made with

beef/chicken stock/broth yet. So far it's all I can do to just give

up the actual meat and things with meat in them. lol baby steps I

suppose. Guess I should keep thinking about all the things I can eat

instead of the ones I can't. LoL, I travel so much though I don't

know how I'll made it on trips without McD's french fries lol.
