For
most of this week I have been gorging on my favourite lunch
items. I've pretty much had the same salad every day for a
week, and I still haven't had enough.
Sautee
slices of red onion and red pepper in a splash of olive
oil, on medium heat. When they're good and wilted, add a
splash of balsamic vinegar and maple syrup.
Sautee
until brownish and slightly caramelized.
Add
to greens of your choice.
Top
with crumbled goat cheese, fresh ground pepper.
Inhale
and savour.
Sometimes
I'll even add some cold grilled chicken.
Somebody
please tell me this is a healthy salad. :)

Emma
and Sarah have not been taking their afternoon naps very well
for the past few days. In fact, I am finding this development
rather exasperating. An hour to myself after lunch is a great
relief. I usually use it to do absolutely nothing, but I find
that without it, I turn into a crab.
I
think it's fatigue that kicks in suddenly. When I realize
it's happening I race to make a coffee before my eyeballs
explode and I turn into a female version of the incredible
hulk. (Except that my muscles don't grow exponentially and
my clothing doesn't end up in shreds.)
For
some reason there are days they suddenly become extremely
high-maintenance.
Yesterday,
for example, Emma was almost clobbered by a man on a bike,
who was speeding down the path by the river. She wasn't looking
where she was going. In a panic he shouted a loud "LOOK
OUT!"
Everyone
(mostly myself) was pretty shaken up about it, especially
since I had just told her to make sure to look both ways before
she goes on the pathway.
<sigh>
