Adolfo IV Goes To School

I am more worried for carol than adolfo. She called me from the North Loop this morning, crying.

"Babe, how'd he do?"

" -*sob*- -*sniff*- He's....fine... -*sob*- -*sniff*-.... He didn't even notice i was -*sob*- gone..."

We spent our entire Sunday afternoon getting ready for this week. We (adolfo and i) began the morning with an episode of Jakers, the cutest show on television. Then, once mom woke up, we went out to Taquitos (paul's favorite mex breakfast joint outside the loop) for breakfast. He ate about half a papas con huevo taco and some orange juice before he clamored to be let out of his seat. Luckily for me, i'm a fast eater.

The rest of the day, carol cooked. All in total she prepared four full sized meals - all neatly sealed in tupperware containers for the rest of the week:

1. Spaghetti - this, of course, is too simple a name. It is spaghetti with a mild italian sausage, chunky garden sauce (ragu), cubed zuchinni, and yellow squash.

2. Chicken and Rice - This is one of adolfo's favorites. Rice cooked in fresh tomatoes and onion, with chicken wings boiled in. The meat is then stripped off the bone for a soft yummy meal.

3. Mediterranean Black Bean Soup - I think she just followed the instructions outside the bean mix, but it's still a hearty soup.

4. Oatmeal - Quaker Oat oatmeal with condensed milk and cinnamon sticks.

Adolfo's first lunch will be the Chicken and Rice with seedless red grapes (all of them cut in half.) See his schedule here.

If anything, he will be extremely well fed.
