I can't begin to tell you how good this book is...it has tons of deliciously devilishly great bits in it. A "tiger mom" and not one you love to hate, either, but one who is so mean and awful and cruel that you just can't even believe such a meanie mom is even possible! Paula Daly knows how to write! The characters are interesting, flawed, and sometimes just a tad funny. I loved this book!
Now I am reading this...so far I love it...
Our weekend was calm and peaceful. Den made a Sheetpan Supper of Grainy Mustardy Roasted Chicken and Tiny Baby Potatoes. He was so nervous but it was delicious.
It's not that I can't cook but it's as though for a while I have sort of lost my interest in cooking. We work through the cooking together. Before all of this happened to us I cooked everything for us...I cooked and Den cleaned the kitchen. I just don't want to be in the kitchen now and Den is amazing about it. It's weird for me but we know it's temporary. For this round of treatment I am craving peanut butter...on 12 grain bread with apricot jam, on Whole Foods English Muffins with banana slices and on toast. It's weird, I know. And...it can only be this peanut butter...
Hmm, I have some sugar free apricot jam in my fridge that I love to put on peanut butter!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to The Trophy Child...I have loved all of Paula Daly's books so far.
Enjoy!
I did! It was yummy!
DeleteThose sheet pan dinners look so good!
ReplyDeleteDen's dinner and your pb&j sound so delicious! Yum. The treatment probably killed your appetite; that makes the kitchen less appealing. Love ya! ♡
ReplyDeleteI think so, too...everything tastes metallic this time...
