Recovering

So with the crash of our server and the loss of 100% of my original Mealtime Workshop documents and templates I've been slow to recover and start over. So slow, in fact, that I didn't even make it to the grocery store once this past week to prepare for our meals. I've also been surprised at how much busier my life is now that I'm working full time. This seems like an obvious realization, but I am still adjusting in regards to managing our household and my social life as well as the various other commitments the Watson family was already handling.

The grace and ease with which some women navigate their busy lives gives me hope that I too might be a super woman. In the meantime I'll continue to rely on divine strength, a patient husband, and peace in the knowledge that even if dinner is late or somewhat unimpressive everyone is still fed.

There are some new meals in here this week, pinto bean tacos for one; and Moroccan carrot soup for another.

Good luck and eat well!

Crash....and burn

This week our server died. I didn't think too much of it at the time because the document I was working on I had saved to my desktop. The problem arose, however, when I sat down to start writing this week's menu and I realized that all of my templates and recipes were stored on the server....oopsie. When I say "burn" I mean that there was actual smoke coming out of the hard drive. Apparently this is not supposed to happen and means you have problems.

My devoted husband has been working diligently on testing circuits and has replaced the power source (I guess that's an actual "thing") in the hopes of getting it back on line. The good news in all of this is that we have been subscribing to a back-up service that updates daily. This means that all of our stuff isn't gone for good, I just don't know how to resurrect it at this very moment so I'm starting from scratch. Hopefully by next week we'll have all of our can't-live-without items back, including all of the Mealtime Workshop menus and recipes!!

Also - sorry for all the salads, I wish it were summer already.

Good luck and eat well!
