Let Them Eat Olives
Breakfast of Champions time! Yep, still no groceries. My eldest just ate the last hard-boiled egg. No one likes instant oatmeal without milk. No one likes dry cereal. No one is looking at the buttermilk this time. Oh! The whines and desperation! You would think we are entering the desert for forty days and nights.
Last night, we had a lovely Swiss Chard Spanokopita with herbs from my herb garden accompanied by pound cake, mixed berries, and whipped cream for dessert. Yum, yes? Uh, no, there were complaints because the berries were previously frozen. Apparently, the berries were too cold. People, there are children starving somewhere, so please spare me the whines about cold berries or that we have no milk, juice, and bread. Geez!
Just so you realize the ridiculous nature of the phrase, "There's nothing to eat at our house," here is only one-fourth of our walk-in pantry:

And again, here's our frig and freezer:
Yep, positively barren our shelves are. So I did order $350 dollars of groceries, so that our pantry and frig should bulge like it should. So, we wait for the groceries to be delivered to our doorstep. Two hours. Two hours! In the meantime, the whines are unbearable especially my own ...what I wouldn't give for some cream in my coffee. Now, if we were out of Vodka or wine, that would be a true emergency.In the meantime, Li'l Man approached with puppy dog eyes and a can of black olives. What does any mother worth her salt do? Let him eat olives for breakfast.
Yum-so juicy, salty, and nutritious! Yep, it's that pin-up time of the day where I win the Oh So Sexy Let Them Eat Olives Fell Asleep on The Couch Watching American Idol Last Night Mom of the Year Award. Woo-Hoo!
After the groceries arrive, we are going bowling! Woo-Hoo! Spring Break rocks!
