Ground beef, elbow macaroni, and stewed tomatoes.

This with white beans and grated cheese is one of my favorite comfort dishes.

Maybe it's a Litvak thing, Burrell? Salt of the earth.

I eat tons of full fat dairy because Atkins. But not noodles, although shirataki noodles are no carb which is very exciting for me. I love noodles so much. Whenever I was sick, DH would go get me some kind take out with noodles in because noodles are inherently comforting.

and I have only gained 4 lbs the entire pregnancy

Wow. Pregnancy weight gain seems so random to me. Some women gain 50 pounds, some only 5. One friend I know lost 20 pounds during one of her pregnancies. I can see why my OB recorded my weight but pretty much ignored it and focused on whether or not the babies were growing, not me.

Ground beef, elbow macaroni, and stewed tomatoes.

My mom called that goulash. I liked it well enough. Of course, by the time I was old enough to pay attention, she had learned to make a wider variety of foods, and we probably only had that once a month or so. Also the stewed tomatoes were not from a can, they were tomatoes from our garden we'd stewed and put up in the freezer.

Yeah, well, the ingredient list ended with hamburger, macaroni, and tomatoes. And I despise tomatoes on their own. The rest of the additions would have made it palatable.

Then there was the hambone and beans (whiteish beans, I don't know what they were.) On their own, I like ham and I like beans, but combined, the smell literally turned my stomach.

Ah, loving tomaoes helps that dish a lot.

I was such a trial to her.

With all that scheduling, have they given you a better idea of a delivery date?

Not yet. But if I can hit Walgreens/Bed, Bath, and Beyond for some basics on Monday and get stuff delivered on Tuesday, I should be able to make do for a while.

Oh, I have a single air bed and sheets that fit if they are needed, shrift, although getting them to you on Monday might be tricky.

Thanks, -t! Consuela has offered as well. I'm also looking into buying one, since I will have guests who could use it.

And the hotel reservation is in my name, so let me know if you want me to extend it.

I just booked my flight for Monday. It's an 8am flight and it'd be nice to be 5 minutes from the airport.

Maybe I will come armed with booze so I don't get stabbinated. Also, wait a month or so.

These are wise choices.

Shirataki noodles are great!

You'll certainly have one of the best VVC stories this year.
