自从去年12月中出门后就一直这样懒懒散散的生活着。
吃喝玩乐;休闲的日子很快的过去了。
回到现实生活不得不再次走进厨房。
在飞往澳洲的途中,就开始问老公,今晚要吃什么?
这个问题应该是所有主妇的噩梦。
我当然也不例外。
还好家里的人都不选吃。
想到最简单就是一锅熟的做法;肉和菜丢进去就可以了。
也省得要洗几次锅和锅铲。
收拾行李时,看到妈妈买给我的Bovril 牛肉酱,
于是心血来潮,做了这道焖牛肉。
可以配饭吃,也可以烫点面条和着吃,
还能够买一条长吐司沾着酱料吃。
煮了一大锅,够吃两天;也够懒惰。
我儿子说,阿嬷是不可能一餐只煮一样菜的。
是的,我妈妈是不可能做到我这样懒惰和随便的。
所以,有时面对我的孩子,我是很内疚的。
因为,我没法和我妈妈比,她真的很够力的照顾我们。
即使我已经44了,她还是不会放弃任何一个机会照顾我;
嗯。。那一代的妈妈们应该都差不多一样吧?
这就叫世上只有妈妈好。
我对孩子的一切不怎么上心,也不怎么管教,
以后孩子不会说,世上只有妈妈好;
那也只能叹口气说自己活该了。
