Even Tomato Paste Loves Me

Last night was one of those evenings where I did not want to make dinner.  I didn't feel all that good and I just wished dinner would appear on our table.  I tried to decide if I should pull out something lame or make myself cook.  That's when I decided to cook.  Even when I don't like cooking, I always feel happy when I have a good meal to give my family, so I figured cooking was the better option.  And since I had decided to cook, why not go all out?  I made corn bread, cooked gnocchies, and made homemade sauce.  I was feeling tired, but when I opened up my tomato paste, look what I found . . . no joke:

It made my day!  And the dinner turned out delicious.  Both my kids ate happily and, let's be honest, that REALLY made my day.  It was one of those moments where I thought to myself, "yes, I really am glad I made dinner tonight."

awww, how nice! You are a better person than me. More than once last week it was a "fend for yourself" dinner.

That's awesome! It makes my day when my kids don't say, "THIS IS NASTY!!!"

That is wild! And I know you mean about not wanting to cook. It is soooo hard to get going.
