Awesome day revival?

[muppetk]

I would really really like to revive awesomeday.  I have had a month of incredible fucknuttery (2 family emergencies among other things.)  I'm going to try like WHOA to come up with a few things here.  Please please tell me something GOOD going on with you.  No bitching/venting/negativity.  This is officially a cry for help (though I am doing much

I went to see Lenny Kravitz last night and it was teh AWESOME! (Review on my LJ.) WWE Royal Rumble is tonight at Hooters! :) Nothing spells awesome like watching staged violence while having chicken wings served to you by a girl hanging out of her top! :)

*laughter* Excellent!

Monkey has learned to give hugs! And does so frequently! And he can put beads onto a string now. DEFINITELY my child

[muppetk]

Oh monkey! All that chocolate and all that HAIR! And still out of focus limbs. Monkey doesn't stay still ANYTHING, though chocolate makes me wiggle too. :)

:) Thanks. Yay shinycon!

1. Around 6:30AM I finally made it home to my precious precious bed. Where I slept. SLEEPING IS SO SHINY.

2. I am packing for my VACAAAAAATION.

[muppetk]

Vacation is So Shiny. Have a blast!

Next Monday we will be signing for a mortgage refi -- which will lower our interest rate by 2.175% which means our monthly payment will be going down about $250-275/month. YAAAAY!!!!! Now to tackle credit card debt amassed while being more mommy than worker bee....

Milo is taking ice skating lessons, so we are doing Family Skate nearly every weekend. Fun family time and *adorable* 3-year-old slipping around on skates. They give them orange caution cones to use like walkers on the ice -- freaking hilarious to watch a rink full of small people with orange cones sliding in front of them.

Have discovered brussels sprouts roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper, then finished with a balsamic glaze. Also coconut milk poached mahi mahi with baby bok choy. NOM. They secret is the tiny thai chili sliced into the broth at the beginning of poaching - adds the perfect amount of heat. Recipe upon request.

These are my awesomes.

Recipes requested, madam!

Refi = awesome! Rink full of small people with orange walkers = double awesome and I want pics!!! That sounds brilliant. :)

Thanks!

(Oh - and poached mahi-mahi recipe definitely requested!)

[jhadania]

1 lime
15 oz can coconut milk
Thai green chili
1 TBS sugar
1 lb skinless boneless mahi mahi or other firm white fish (pollack worked well)
1 tsp salt
1-2 heads baby bok choy

Zest lime and reserve. Juice lime into skillet. Over medium heat combine like juice, coconut milk, thinly sliced chile and sugar.
Cut fish into 6-8 portions, rinse and pat dry. Rub salt on fish then place in hot skillet.
Cook fish, covered x 5 mins. Stir in torn bok choy. Cook 3-5 mins more until fish flakes easily.
Garnish with lime zest.

We make bean thread noodles and serve in bowls over noodles.

Our kitten plays fetch better than any dog I've ever known. He likes to bring us his toys while we're in the shower and drop them in the water and stare at us expectantly until we wash the soap off of our hands and throw it for him. he is adorably obsessive about this.

[muppetk]

Hee! To paraphrase my sister, "cats are better than cable!"

[hellfire82]

He really is. He's a pale ginger with more than his fair share of energy and mayhem causing skills; he lives up to his name, puck, quite well. He's rotten (to the point of protesting if I don't carry him around when the floor is cold at night), but I adore him anyway.
