Musings

In an attempt to domesticate myself (and cut down on our eating out budget), I have cooked the last several nights. Now, we aren't talking spaghetti. I mean, real-deal, homemade, bust out my blender, use the cutting board for cutting, buy fresh vegetables kind of cooking. I have to say, I am quite pleased with myself. {pat on the back} We bought a cookbook and sat down to pick out some recipes to try. Thursday night I made deep dish chicken pot pie. E-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g involved (including making my own dough. I used my dough hook on my mixer for the 1st time!). Friday night I made burgers for Stu to put on the grill. Side note-I adore the grill! I could eat food from the grill 6 nights a week. Saturday I made spinach stuffed manicotti. I am giddy with excitement for myself. Last night I made 7 layer dip and tacos. Yahoo. I feel like Susie-homemaker!

The time change did not affect the boys like "fall backward", thank goodness. I'm hoping that they are starting to get better at adjusting. I for one love this time change. Darker in the mornings and sunny later at night. Makes for late afternoon play much more enjoyable.

I woke up this morning all congested. Yuck. I think it's just allergies but it could be whatever the boys had.

And that's about it. Pretty boring but I felt the need to campaign my cooking, :)
