This sweet girlie is 9! She is obsessed with llamas, so of course Mama made her a llama cake to celebrate her day. (This also means I am a year older as well... my birthday is a week before hers.)
We went out dancing to a favorite band last night, and a friend snapped this of us dancing. My heart!
Hi! This school year is kicking my butt, so I am doing some simple dinners. Last night was one of them. Mesquite grilled Sockeye (lemon pepper, garlic, coarse Kosher salt, olive oil), and a spinach-and-Swiss-chard salad with miso dressing, cashews, almonds, and crispy wonton strips (salad kit)...
Dutch baby with salted butter & maple syrup. Bacon made a new way.
Texas turtle coffee for Hubby, Lady Gray tea with turbinado sugar for me, and Winter Spice tea with honey for Lily and her sore throat.
Hubby's birthday was yesterday. I asked him what kind of birthday cake he wanted, and he said he wanted a Jeff Davis pie. I happen to have his grandmother's handwritten recipe, so he got his wish.
They used a product called Surgicel on her finger to get the bleeding to stop. As she completely detached the tip pad (yikes), there was nothing to sew back on, and so the used the Surgicel to fill the gap. We are at the point of adding Neosporin to the mix to help promote a scab to form and...
My version of pozole. Pork, spices, broth, onion, tomato, jalapeno, cilantro, corn. Served with tortilla chips and guacamole on the side. Omg! Leftovers for days. So excited.
Lily came up with an interesting story to tell the kids at school about how she got hurt.
Ninjas broke in to our house and she grabbed her light saber to fight them off. During the battle, a piece of light saber broke off and cut off her finger tip. But she took it bravely, like a Jedi!
Middle-of-the-night still here, and a bad dream woke her. Then she realized that she was in pain. More Tylenol, and mama rubbing her head for 30 minutes to relax her back to sleep....
Monday will be a very long day!
My poor baby. She accidentally cut the tip off her finger with a pair of scissors today and ended up in the ER. Took over 2 hours to stop the bleeding. She will recover eventually, but for now she is not feeling so good.
Pumpkin pancakes. I cheated and used pancake mix (Krusteaz buttermilk pancake mix), and added 2/3 cup pumpkin puree, a few shakes of cinnamon and nutmeg, a splash of vanilla, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Served with butter and maple syrup. Light and fluffy! Leftovers made and frozen for a quick...
But then she screams at me, stomps her feet, and slams the door when I ask her to brush her teeth. I don't think I will survive her teen years if this is how intense she is at 8!!! o_O
I planned several meals with the intention of leftovers for this week's lunches. I send Lily's in her thermos and she loves having a warm homemade lunch.
Chicken parmesan, linguine with tomato basil sauce (using up the abundance of fresh basil leaves I bought for last night's pho), and Caesar salad (Lily's choice).
Leftovers for everyone's lunch tomorrow.
