Oh, I know what you mean when you just can't face making a meal! Sometimes it's so wonderful to have someone else make it for you.
This really made me smile:
For the Mac and Cheese, it was way too spicy for my son to handle. He was trying to convince himself, but the body couldn't lie. He was sweating and lips burning.
My son would have done the same thing at that age! Now he's an adult, and these days he can handle really hot food, and even when I make it spicy, he adds more!
