kids these days

Today I went to the grocery store with my twin sister. The deal was, I would make her whatever she wanted for dinner if she bought it. I thought it was fair. 

It turned into a tutorial on how to grocery shop. We were laughing the whole way through the store. She's basically like a toddler. All she wanted was Wheat Thins, juice, Honey Nut Cheerios, and ice cream. 

We are so different sometimes! It blows my mind. (but then, sometimes we're so alike, it also blows my mind. like how for the past two days, we've been quoting Taken "They're going to take you" and laughing hysterically. I guess you have to be there.)

I guided her through the store like she was a tourist from another planet and figured out what to make her that would be an actual meal, not kibbles n' bits and juice in a sippy cup.

Whole wheat penne with chicken, spinach and tomato cream sauce. She was happy, I was happy, it was a win. 

{PS. For those who asked, commented or emailed about my recipe for the above - there is no real recipe. I didn't make the sauce from scratch really. 1 jar Barilla marinara (my fave) with 1 cup heavy cream, a handful of parm. Yummers. Then I carmelized 1/2 an onion, heated and drained about a cup of frozen spinach, and sauteed a chicken breast. Mix. Shovel into mouth.}
