ok, everyone else who is not my husband should still be with me, right?
So today I was looking over my "Steps for a healthy baby" list. Its got stuff on it like, "make sure you eat at 80-100 grams of protein every day", "do 200 kegels a day", and "cut down on excessive stress at work", etc..
and as I look through the nutrition portion, I realize that I'm not getting enough of the "rice, tortillas, potatoes" category, whatever that really is (sounds like the white starches to me but whatever), I need four servings a day and I'm not making it. So I tell the loml who has been doing a great job helping me stay on top of the nutritional aspect of this whole pregnancy. And he makes a helpful suggestion about dinner and I'm thinking "ok, great. this has been dealt with"
Until I'm driving home and I realize that he's not going to be home for dinner cause he's got a work thing. So I have to make my own dinner and I figure I'll get something inspirational at the store to encourage myself to eat better. So I figure I'll make a potato and leek gratin. Which sounds good to me, I got potato, leek, milk, and cheese. Healthy!
and all is well as I start out. The whole thing smells really really good, but then I double-check my recipe and this damn thing takes over an hour to bake in the oven! Really? really!? I'm hungry!
So then I get some ice cream and everything is better. and as soon as the gratin is done, I'll let you know how that turned out too. Just don't tell my husband.
