Lonely widow

This afternoon my darling husband is driving about an hour away to work out at a gym. He does powerlifting and this is how all the guys at this gym train. He was very excited to go. He will be gone during dinnertime so that leaves us all alone. I don't like eating dinner alone with just the kids. It feels so incomplete. We are those oddballs who have family dinner every night. When someone is missing it is a bit sad. The girls have decided we should have Chinese with chopsticks. I don't think they have really ever had Chinese food before. They are fascinated with chopsticks after watching Kung Fu Panda. There is a neat tutorial on the DVD about chopsticks. Since darling husband doesn't like Chinese food or for that matter any Asian cuisine we are jumping in with both feet. I love both Chinese food and any Asian cuisine for that matter. Sesame chicken here I come. We know a couple who live in China and have commented on how Chinese fast food is nothing like real Chinese cooking. I would love to visit China someday and learn how to cook authentic food. I hear this is quite a process not just toss some things together. It must be cut up a certain way, certain vegetables go with certain meats etc. Now I think I am just rambling so I better get moving.
BTW-I have lots of post ideas and am hoping to get better at this!!
