So I've whined about my kids and carbs before ( Read more... )

I still have to write up my shopping list. After some rather gruesome dental work, I'm on antibiotics and they appear to make my stomach hurt, and OMG, the nausea. It's not going to be a fun 10 days. End result is a very uninspired set of menus. We're having yellow curry on Saturday because AC hates it, and she'll be off on her backpacking/climbing ( Read more... )

I wish I were as awesome as the gal who makes these.

I wish.

Cinco de Mayo piñata cookies Seriously, check this out. She has step by step instructions on how to make them. I could so see making rooster or piggie cookies. Linnea would love piggie ones.

We're going out to eat on Wednesday. There. Decided. It's been... well, probably a few months since the last time we went out, I can't remember when it was? Perry's birthday, maybe? We don't eat out often. But I'm feeling burnt out on cooking and shopping, and I think pizza out will go a long way towards helping! :-) I mean, pizza out, right? How ( Read more... )

I had a few meals pre-planned this week, so I didn't sit down to finish this up until this morning. It's a relatively uninspired week, but I'm using some stuff from the pantry/freezer, and I guess that's good ( Read more... )

Not the most inspiring week ever, but we're all very tired, and easy is the name of the game. Plus on Saturday, dh, Perry, and I are going up to the tulip fields in Skagit County to do the Tulip Pedal We'll be doing the 40 miles, we hope ( Read more... )

I just make chicken vindaloo. It's in the fridge, Sunday I'll dump in in the crockpot. Damn but it smells good. In part thanks to the coriander.

I'm late on this one! Leftover night was moved from Monday night, our usual, to Saturday. No particular reason for Saturday, btw. Maybe it'll be Sunday. We'll see ( Read more... )

Here are mine. I'm trying a new recipe on Friday.... It's a busy week, with snowshoeing planned for Wednesday, and a gymnastics meet on Sat for one kid, and a Minecraft playdate for one other, and a third who is going to be pissed off that she has to be luggage for one or the other. Anyhow.

Something that amuses me. I am going to the Uwajumaya to ( Read more... )

Bit of a messy week. We'll be in Portland Saturday and Sunday, AC has a gym meet, and Friday evening Perry has a show at University of Washington, with his Little Gym team. We'll stay at watch the meet, of course.
