Saturday Night

Phil went out last night to get some Indian take out in Media: he came home with the most amazing Chicken Vindaloo (sp?), this movie, and a couple bottles of wine.

Not a bad Staurday night!

Beef Stew

Most of you (the 2 people who read my blog), know that I am both adventurous and skilled in the kitchen - I'm not sure how I got to be 29 years old without ever having made a proper beef stew; but today, I lost my stew virginity.

I used two recipes, from the Food Network, as inspiration (here and here) - like Lisa, I can't really follow a recipe ... or use a measuring cup ....

My house is now filled with the most amazing aroma of red wine, herbs, root vegetables, and beef.

When I die, I hope heaven smells like this.

Tough Times

The economic situation of the world is not what it used to be.
To reflect this, even some of the Blue Chip companies have modified their logos.

How To Make It Snow ... According to a six year old

B, G, A, and M went to Aunt Joan's house tonight to perform a snowdance. If I have the story straight, Aunt Joan explained to them that they could get a snow day if they performed a really good snow dance.

As I am sure you can guess, I do not support the snow dance - we just had a snow day last week.

Here, B explains Aunt Joan's recipe for snow.

Another Mithing Toof!

Wow! What a week. S lost ANOTHER toof today (contrary to the picture, he is happy about it. His movie was starting and he could not be bothered for a picture).

This site lists some Tooth Fairy customs from around the world - most are pretty standard - though, I now have another reason to be happy I am not a Mongolian dog.

In this pocket you will find

A teensy, tiny tooth of mine.

So while I sleep where dreams are made,

Let's see if you can make a trade.
In this pocket I will lay,the little tooth I lost today.

Please, dear fairy,tonight as I sleep

leave me a coin.

My tooth you can keep.

Tooth Fairy Templates

Click here for a copy of the templates I have used for the Tooth Fairy.
I did not create these, they were a share from one of the photography sites I visit - I so wish I could remember where I got them so I could give credit.

If the creator happens by, please post so I can credit and thank you appropriately.
