I'm going on strike!
Let me first discus the menu Friday night. I decided to grill out--chicken with a sweet habanera glaze, yellow rice, and a ceasar salad. The chicken came out perfect despite the fact that it was very windy Friday night. You may have noticed by now I love habanera peppers, mango, and lime. I love the heat in the pepper and I like to use mango for the flavor and the sweet taste and a squeeze of lime goes on everything. So, after careful preparation and perfect timing dinner was ready. My boys had both been out, one at the White Station Millington game and the other at the gym. When they get home both are upset for various reasons and go to bed without eating. One is upset over his curfew the other is upset because he feels like he may not get a good enough car next month for his 18th birthday. I love them both dearly but teenagers are so complex. I try to reflect on my own teenage years to try to understand where they are coming from but it's still a challenge. I have decided that I may cook dinner every other night to compensate for any mood swings.
