More Food

Mr. Perfect and I have been discussing the quantities of food we will soon be required to purchase and prepare as our children enter the pre-teen and teen phase. We have a few years, but we are already beginning to see the enormity of it! Our family of 6 with 4 children 10 years and younger can easily consume in one day: a gallon of milk, two loaves of bread, 3 cups of oatmeal, a block of cheese, 1/2 jar of peanut butter, a quart of strawberries, 3-4 apples, 3-4 carrots, a box of granola bars, 2 lbs of chicken, 10 potatoes, a half dozen ears of corn, and a gallon of sweet tea.

But amazingly, it took us a week to eat a homemade chocolate cake. (And I had the last piece!)
