Trying hard to serve healthy food at home these days, emphasizing vegetables, minimizing meats.

After I’d laid out the spread, W sprang out of the kitchen with a plate of chicken nuggets, which she had been secretly baking in the air-fryer, and proudly dumped them onto a bowl of romaine salad.  In 12.5 years of marriage, she has never added something of her own accord to a meal that I’m already preparing.  I was aghast – not by the attempt to contribute, by the contribution.  The boys were thrilled – “Junk food, yay!”
