This could be the laziest weekend I have ever had in my entire life. Ryan is away for the weekend recruiting, so Ady and I have had the house to ourselves. We literally have been in our pajamas all weekend. We have showered twice, but changed into new sets of pajamas each time. Ady has watched movies, brought out every toy imaginable from the holidays, and become a master at Nintendo Wii Ping Pong. I have lazily watched her, wallowed around in an unmade bed, watched way too many hours of food network, and followed that up with a couple of meaningless hours of cooking in the kitchen. I had quite a few disasters, but came across a great little fast recipe.
Boil baby red potatoes until they are tender, drain, and let them cool for 5 minutes. Then take one potato at a time and literally squash them into a flat patty. (All you are doing is putting your hand on the top of the boiled potato and mashing down) This still leaves you with a potato that looks a bit crumbled but holds together nicely. Then place the flat potatoes in an olive oil prepared frying pan and get them crispy about 4 minutes on each side. I salted mine with seasoning salt, but you wouldn't have to season them at all if you didn't want to. They are amazing, they have just enough crunch that they remind you of eating french fries, but reasonably healthy ones. Ady wanted a dash of sour cream on top of hers....but overall a great little carb snack on the side of a BLT sandwich!
So I am sitting here feeling guilty about such a lazy weekend and sweet Ady comes up to me, puts her head on my shoulder and says, "I love you mama, we are having so much fun today." I then responded, "really, what have you liked the best about this weekend?" Well she says, "My rose of my day was getting to stay in pajamas all day and all night. And my thorn of my day was.......(long pause)......having to sleep in my bed...cause I really wanted to sleep in your big bed. Maybe tonight I can sleep in your bed."
Even 3 year olds like lazy weekends and to try and sneak a night in Mama's bed while Papa is away ;)
