Dinner by Dad

With Heidi out of town it fell to me to make dinner tonight. I can't think of the last time I made dinner; in the past I would have taken the kids to fast food or something. But that wasn't in the plan, so for those of you who rely on your spouse to cook here's the easy recipe I made:

- 3 chicken quarters cut up (leftovers that were already in the fridge)
- Rice, cooked in the rice cooker; text your spouse to find out the amounts of rice and water to use
- Mix the chicken and rice; add chili powder, white pepper, paprika, and tumeric
- Microwave a package of broccoli in cheese sauce

Bon appetit!

How cheaply can you eat out?

Heidi is out of town this weekend, so last night it was just me and the kids. We went to Cici's Pizza for dinner. Thanks to a discount card Spencer is selling to raise money for his scout trips, dinner was a total of $18! That included both drinks and the pizza buffet. I'm not going to claim that it was the best food, but it wasn't bad and it was cheap! What's the lowest price per person you have ever paid to go out to eat?
