One night last week, I accidentally cooked rice the same way I cook oatmeal: bring water to a boil, add, turn off heat. I forgot momentarily that rice deviates in one step: bring water to a boil, add, simmer. Needless to say, I went to start the stir fry and realized we were nowhere near rice being done. So I made a spontaneous decision and changed plans. Suddenly the kids were in their pajamas, we were all eating pancakes, and we watched The Princess Bride. (The kids hadn’t seen it before!)
This ended up being my favorite memory of winter break, just because it was fun on so many levels, and we were all home together, and I love that movie!
