Special treat for step-daughter tonight: Spaghetti Tacos.  Probably just going to do baby carrots, cottage cheese, and sliced kiwi as sides.  Leftovers and a baked potato for me.

Spaghetti Tacos = literally, spaghetti with meat sauce in a hard taco shell.

They're shown relatively frequently on the tv show iCarly.

Not really. I went from purist -- Breyers only to reckless eat anything without peanuts directly in it.

BUT

I had killer (not in the bad ana. way) green tea ice cream that was homemade with some matcha powder.  Just get out the ole cuisinart ic maker and give it a whirl.

Why are my vegan meals multi-pot extravaganzas that take two hours to complete and our eaten without a word of thanks?  Not to mention leave me hungry 20 minutes later...

DH had the balls to complain that we never eat until 7 but rarely lifts a hand to help with kids, cooking, homework, etc.  And to really make it fun, often unleashes Em on me.

this is one of the big reasons why I am scared to go vegan. much easier to throw a lump of flesh in oven. and the one vegan crockpot dish I made was truly awful .. the vegan restaurant in nearby town is sooo good. so its not impossible.

We are having the coconut chicken curry, shared in crock pot thread.   I have tasted the sauce, and I think my spices are old.  There is not matching the fresh roasted and ground spices of authentic Indian food anyway, and my spices were at least a few years old, lol.  But it is fine.  still an hour to go, rice is simmerring. 

Kids will have Perdue cutlets and rice, lol,  and broccoli.  They would never try curry.  Dd would not even come look and smell!  Sensory overload witht he aroma in the house anyway, so she would not get too close.

I want to try curry so badly.  Afraid it will go over like a lead brick.  And because I have never had it (to the best of my knowledge), I am not sure if I could season to taste correctly.

So the cabbage rolls were tasty but a pain in the butt to assemble.  Probably because I didn't have savoy cabbage but just green cabbage.

Made peppers and onions with a bit of sausage, combined with noodles for the kids and spaghetti squash for the adults.  That was good!  My body is craving some protein.

I have more sauce leftover and noodles.  Debating on getting another squash today...
