What's for Dinner?

I'm amazed at how slowly the day has gone today, but the main thing on my mind is how much our government offices suck.  Yes, you read right,  they suck!!

They are always crowded, they make you wait in the queue for hours and when you are just about to be served......they break for lunch! Then you have to wait for two more hours before they come back.

This is my experience every month when I have to make the statutory payments for our office.

Now that it's Home Time, i have to make up for the crappy day and the best way i can do that is by making great dinner, as it was today

After searching for a while, i found this great recipe on momswhothink.com and i think it's just what i need to end a long day.

The ingredients are easily available and it only takes 30 minutes to put the meal together.
