Boiled Dinner!!
By The Chef | May 6, 2007
Yesterday was an AWFUL day! I do know why and I hate that, I haven’t taken my happy pills in a bit–and it’s biting me in the butt! I couldn’t cope with anything, I finally had to kick the older two out to the yard, and I put the younger two down for a nap. I then started the washer and the dishwasher. That felt good to get somethings going–now for the living areas. As I stated in Genki, I’ve been working on scrapbook boxes. Well, Jake’s took me all day long, and when I’m in project mode–stopping for anything is really hard. My poor kids starved all day–and I didn’t finally pull myself away until 7:00 to start dinner. Yep, bad mom! They did eat–I just didn’t make what they ate!
Anyway, after a long dark day of depression–I wanted comfort food for dinner. So I made New England Boiled Dinner. It is simply boiling white potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, cabbage and hot dogs together until everything is soft. With all the veggies I’m amazed that it’s one of my kids favorite meals. To me—it’s comfort food–and soooooooo yummy! I could eat it nightly! Let me see if I can find a picture of it…K–I found one that is close! Change out the beef for hot dogs and the celery for Sweet Potato.
Jake came in to the kitchen to see what was cooking. Pot Roast? he asked….then he saw the cabbage–usually the downer when I was little, and he got so excited–”It’s my favorite stuff with that cabbage!!” What can I say–My kids are weird and adore their veggies!!
