Small town America is not dead! You know how whenever the was a crisis in the Cleaver family or some other 50's TV sitcom family, all the neighborhood brought casseroles and pies? Well, it still happens today folks! We have been absolutely floored at the sheer quantity of delicious home-cooked meals that friends, co-workers, and family have dropped off at our house since people heard of my incapacitation and Andy's heroic efforts to keep things running smoothly. It has been unbelievable. In the past 3 weeks, Andy has not had to cook one meal from scratch, and we did not eat any take-out or stoop to a single Hungry-Man or Lean Cuisine microwave tray. We've had orange chicken, sausage pesto pasta, eggplant parmesan, roast chicken with potatoes and carmelized onions, veggie lasagna, shepherd's pie, mexican casserole, spaghetti and meatballs, veggie quiche, pulled pork, handmade ravioli, chicken and veggies wrapped in phyllo dough, fresh salads, and a grand array of homemade soups... curried butternut squash, tomato tortellini, venison stew, gingered root vegetable, etc. etc. Desserts too, my god! Considering I get NO excercise whatsoever, I'm on track to be the fattest pregnant woman ever! Seriously though, it has been wonderful and we are so grateful for the outpouring of support.
