'I can't tell you how giddy it makes me to just sit back and relax.'
I had shrimp tacos for the first time the other night, and they were one of the tastiest things I’ve ever eaten. Here’s the best part: I didn’t make them and I wasn’t at a restaurant. My teenager made them.food server at an assisted living facility and came to me a few months ago asking if she could make our family dinner one night a week. Gosh, that job is really paying off in more ways than one. I was overjoyed that she wanted to help and that she was learning a really important.
At the beginning of the week, she makes a plan and sends me a list of ingredients, and I can’t believe how much easier it makes my life for somebody else to handle just one night of the week. She doesn’t just make dinner either, she creates a whole experience by setting the table with nice cloth napkins, and arranging everything on platters. When her brothers first came downstairs to eat and looked at her creations and fancy table, they loudly expressed doubts. They were clearly just trying to get a rise out of her, but she really showed them — by the end, they were blown away, too. Part of was to tease their sister which is funny because boy, did she prove them wrong.
It’s also teaching her the wonderful lesson of how hard it actually is to plan dinner, make it, and clean up for the entire family. Her feelings get hurt if someone doesn’t finish their meal. She now understands what it’s like toat the grocery store and deal with cranky diners complaining that we’re missing something. She has compassion for the grind of making dinner every night even when you’re tired. She gets it now, and there’s no more complaining when I just toss a frozen pizza in the oven.
