WouLd YoU LikE sOme?

I thought of serving it and calling it Cajun Style Broccoli...............

........But then it stunk so bad I decided there was no way I could subject my family to that.

The events that transpired that led to the untimely demise of this broccoli are as follows.

Wednesday is a very busy day at our house.

Today I watched a friend's son for a little while and then took both boys to preschool.

After which I hurried to the elementary school so I could help in Doodle's class.

Then I had a conference with the Principal, came home for a little while and then picked the boys up from preschool.

Then I trotted back to the elementary school, picked up the kids and rushed Banana to her ballet class.

While she was in class I zoomed home to drop off the boys and get them started on their homework.

Then I zipped back to ballet to pick her up and home again to get dinner started so it would be finished in time for Banana to get some before she needed to be at her church activity.

It was around this time that I put the broccoli on the stove.

After she ate and shortly after M.D.H. walked through the door, Banana and I ran out the door to get her to her activity.

Ten minutes later I was back and ready to eat dinner with the rest of the family.

It was at this point the nasty smell of the broccoli hit me. (B.T.W. no one else had smelled it yet because they were all out in the yard working and playing)

But because the show must go on and we still had a boy to get to scouts and a family to get fed.

I took the burnt pan outside (where it still sits right at this very moment) ---

--opened the windows------and pulled out some sugar snap peas from the fridge ---so we could still have a vegetable with our dinner. ---

---You know, balanced meal and all that.

NOW----my house still stinks something AWFUL!!!!

Which reminded me of that old Saturday Night Live sketch where someone smells something really bad like sour milk and then says, "That stinks. Come Smell This" and then they all pass it around agreeing that it really stinks. That memory made me laugh so I guess my Cajun Broccoli isn't ALL BAD.

The moral of the story.

DON'T COOK BROCCOLI WHEN YOU ARE IN A HURRY OR WHEN YOU HAVE 15 - 20 OTHER THINGS ON YOUR MIND.

THE END-A-STINKY-MUNDO!

p.s. Like I said before - the broccoli is still in the pan in the back yard so feel free to come help yourself!
