Menu notes.

ルーサーが生まれて以来、「今日の夕飯何にしよう~」なんて考える暇もなく、夕方、体に鞭を打ってごはんを作るのが嫌で、行き着いた所はこのノート。週に1回か2回、冷蔵庫にあるものを使って出来る献立をとにかく書く。そして時間がある時にとにかく作る。次の日も分も出来れば作ってしまう。その代わり温めなおす時は、電子レンジではなくて、きちんとお鍋でもう一度火を通せば、まぁ、って味になる。煮物やスープは次の日の方がおいしいし。


1年と3ヶ月が過ぎたけど、ますます忙しいこの頃。髪を振り乱して、部屋着で家事る私。かたや子供達の習い事やお友達との約束や自分達の趣味までもを笑顔でやりこなしていらっしゃるママ達、その違いは何なのだろう。やっぱり、私の要領が悪いのか。




Easter Dinner


Since Luther was born, I haven't even figured out my routine on how to run household chores. I really don't have any energy left in the evening to think of what to make for dinner. So, here is my notebook. Once or twice in a week, I just write down what I can cook with the food that is in the refridge, and I cook whenever I can, regardless serving hot or cold. If I have extra time, I even cook for the next day. But, when I re-heat the food for serving, I re-heat in a pot or pan, instead of using microwave. I think it tastes better that way.

Even though it's been 15 months, it seems to be getting busier than ever. I'm still running around the house with messy hair and in sweat suits. On the other hand, there are beautiful moms with kids who perfectly runs kids' lessons, play dates, even mom's sports gyms. What is their secret? Or, is it just me being ridiculously slow?
