OMG we are making something similar: Chapati (East African style) Lentils curry Tandoori chicken (our home rendition of it) Fruit salad |
Okra soup with smoked turkey and fufu |
+1 except substitute beans for avocado |
Homemade pizza with gobs of cheese and freshly sliced pepperoni and homemade cole slaw. |
I love their dough. We also make cheese bread out of it sometimes. We get two pizzas out of each bag if we let it rise a long time. |

This menu sounds yummy but each of these dishes can be executed in minutes except for the ice cream which can be made in advance, so it wouldn't be hard to pull this off after work. |
Leave it out and reheat before serving |
It always make me sad when people with kids say things like this. Please don't say them in your kids' earshot. |
Why? Raising kids is damn hard. Why shouldn't people be able to dream about not being encumbered from time-to-time? Did PP say anything about telling her kids this? But, come to think about it, some kids need to know that the whole world doesn't and shouldn't revolve around them at all times. |

What is East African style chapati? How is it different than regular chapati? I am curious because I lived in Kenya and never saw or heard of this item as distinct from regular chapati. |
PP here. LOL, you're hilarious, indignant PP! I love my kids with all my heart. But I can still be jealous that those without 1 and 3-year olds have a more free-wheeling lifestyle than I do! |
