I'm working in retail these days, and well, I don't have to tell you, this is a busy time of year. Did I say “busy”? More like chaotic! Extra hours, extra product, extra insane shoppers (I said that lovingly)... Comfort food is in order, so I'm making a big pot of Pasta with Prosciutto, Peas, and Cream - covers most of the food groups, right? For health reasons, I've upped the protein and veggie a touch, and went with 12 ounces instead of a pound of fettuccine. Would have gone with whole grain pasta, but didn't find any, so... Yeah, THIS will help me get through the madness Gotta have at least ONE real meal a day, right? And I'm missing the family gathering (though I'm promised a plate)... Fruited greek yogurt and home made egg and english muffin sandwiches (with chipotle sauce!) will round it out nicely. And just a reminder to all my dear readers: Enjoy your shopping, but PLEASE be kind to the people who are missing their own family time, working crazy hours, and doing the best they can under difficult circumstances. Most of the inconveniences you might run into along the way are NOT their fault!
