So, I saw this a while back and thought it was a totally brilliant idea. I’ve been looking and looking for just the right container and couldn’t seem to find one. Finally today I found an old Coleman cooler with the right kind of spout on it so I bought it. It’s way less cute than the one in the picture but perfectly functional and the bubbles work too!

Soccer, Sauce and Silliness
Spring soccer clinic started last weekend. Saturday morning was utterly miserable, dark, cloudy and wet but we got out there. There were many tears. There was much hand holding. There was much encouragement. There were threats. Eventually she played. And when she played she got in there and loved it! When we got home I asked Ben if I was the crazy mom on the sidelines. Probably the fact that I had to ask for feedback because I was so excited that I mostly can’t remember anything is not a good sign. I just didn’t even know that I had that soccer mom in me. Someone needs to tell her to simmer down. Read the rest of this entry »

Franks and Beans!
Another failed experiment but I’m not taking it too hard. I don’t even like baked beans but I got it in my head that I really wanted to make some and that they would be goooood. That and I had a bunch of “ingredients” that I needed to use up. I poked around the internet a bit but turned up almost nothing that didn’t start by opening a can of baked beans.

Stand By Your Pan
Since it’s only Tuesday and we’ve already eaten more than our fair of pasta and rice I decided to change it up a little tonight. We had chili and cornbread or corncake depending on how you want to spin it. In my opinion, that doesn’t make it sound more appetizing but there’s no accounting for the tastes of a four year old.

You Can’t Catch Me I’m The Gingerbread Man
The tremendous quantity of gingerbread that we made and froze is now all baked! There stares the gingerbread boy from inside his glass prison. Don’t worry I’ll liberate him one day soon as I can’t seem to keep my hand out of the cookie jar.

Happy Friday
I woke up this morning, and even though I should have devoted the entire day to dusting and vacuuming, all I could think about was gingerbread. I really wanted to make a gingerbread house but, around 4 o’clock and after a glass of wine, I decided a few gingerbread boys was the more realistic goal for the day and they were tasty if I do say so myself.

Fall Back
How come weekends are never long enough? Not even when you get an “extra” hour? I guess because getting an “extra” hour just means that everyone is thrown off of their game for an entire day more than anything else. I suppose I shouldn’t complain. Both of my kids slept until almost 8 yesterday’s time or almost 7 today and were both asleep by 7 tonight or 8 by yesterday’s time. So it really wasn’t so bad. Even though they were tired and my head is spinning a little. You know? Like, hey why ARE these kids so tired, it’s only 6:30? Oh, right. It’s kind of really 7:30. How’d the switch go at your house?

Many Loaves
After being out of bread for many, many days I decided to do something about it. I experimented with a recipe for pain de mie a couple of weeks ago and it was pretty good. Then I came across this recipe somewhere in the blogosphere and decided to try it. Read the rest of this entry »

Apple Picking
We picked three bags of staymans and a bag of fujis for eating. And a big bag full of broccoli because it was fun. So yesterday was goulash today was gumbo and tomorrow broccoli cheddar. In other words, the soup pot runneth over and I’m ok with that. Even soup hating Ben had a second bowl of gumbo. I’ve never made gumbo before. The smell of flour “toasting” sure is interesting. Anyway, happy weekend. Looking forward to the next one. Click on for the pictures. Read the rest of this entry »

Summer’s Last Hurrah
Is this it then? It’s cold and rainy today but yesterday it was still HOT. It might have been the very last day for making homemade vanilla ice cream.
We used this recipe. I modified the recipe a little so we wouldn’t have to go to the store. Read the rest of this entry »
