The dinner plans for tonight called for company and eastern food, but when the company canceled, The Husband canned the eastern food menu as well. Instead, he wanted vegan swedish meatballs and garlic bread. The fact that he willingly picked a vegan recipe made my heart warm. So off to the store we went, to collect the fixings, and then home. I played prep cook, making up the soy sausage balls, and the gravy. The Husband took over, and cooked the meatballs to perfection, and his seasonings made the gravy explode with flavor. Asparagus and garlic bread (all vegan) rounded out our dinner, and we spent the meal seated around the table, listening to The Kid yabber on about the car accident that his trucks got into, his various encounters with The Best Friend, and the playground politics of the third year of life.
Could this really be? A scant three days into this family experiment, we are already making meals and sitting down together? Is it that easy? Tomorrow is another day, full of new challenges. I hope my dinner tomorrow is much like it was tonight. A few minutes spent together, no phones or computers. No interruptions. Just our little family, and our simple love for one another.
