Almost Tropical...

So, the weather's really warm today. So warm, in fact, that I have chicken breasts marinading in Caribbean jerk sauce to go on the grill.

Hmmm. That sounds delightful.

This has been a successful experimental cooking week. We have no plans for tonight, which means we'll probably actually go sample one of the restaurants nearby. Fascinating restaurants is definitely a bennie of this neighborhood, but we just don't have the money or inclination to eat out a whole lot.

It was! Though, of course, Ren only ate, like, 4 bites of chicken and a biscuit and a half, no veggies. He really only eats well on the weekends when he's not on his meds, not that he's a stellar eater without them, mind

Yeah, I've kind of turned into a homebody too. I really enjoy going out to eat when it's a social event with friends, but I find that If what I really want is lack of effort, I'd rather have some freezables on hand to heat up. Less effort than going out, food is available much faster. Plus home is more relaxing, and I feel pressed to make useful conversation when I'm stuck in a restaurant at a table with only the love of my life, who I've already been talking to at least half the day. When we're at home, we often eat in front of the TV, which I refuse to consider bad because it's essentially the only time we watch TV.

When we're on top of things, we cook two nights and have leftovers in various combinations the rest of the time.

But right now we're living in London, something we will likely never do again. I'd like to have more drive to sample the interesting restaurants within walking distance at least :).
