I don’t know what kind of pizza you eat at your house, but at mine– it’s pepperoni 99.9% of the time. I like pepperoni ok, but sometimes Super Rockstar and I like to have our own kind–lots of meats and occasionally a veggie or two. The agony of picking out the parts the boys don’t…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A Snow Day. I’ve been cheated! I’ve been robbed! What kind of cockamamie weather system causes 12″ of heavy wet messy snow to fall at the end of May?! There was only 2 1/2 days left in our school year. 2 1/2! I…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.The Gig–This past weekend Super Rockstar’s band, SofaKillers played at Cleat’s West. I’ve mentioned Cleat’s East before–so I’ll let you guess which side of town this one is located on. They were great as always, but I got a nice surprise when my man…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Skating. If you are local and don’t already take your kids to Skate City–you should. There are two locations in town and we usually go to the one on Austin Bluffs. Our school PTO hosts regular discount nights and it’s always so much fun. …
The other day(Coffee Break–Volume 14), I told you about the wonderful miracle of Make Your Own Microwave Popcorn that I saw on a Rachel Ray show. I just had to try it and I’m happy to report that it turned out magnificently! The Ingredients: All you need is 1/4 cup popcorn, a brown paper bag…
1.How in the world is Pokémon played? I still don’t know. If you do–please teach me. This weekend Grayson wanted to play with me and suggested Pokémon. Guys, we played for like 20 minutes and I had NO IDEA what was going on. He could have been cheating me blind and I would have been…
There are a couple of recipes that are special and enjoyed only once or twice a year–my Mom’s Gourmet Potatoes is one of those recipes. When we go to their house at Christmas, she always makes a big pan of them and my sister and I fight over who gets to have it in front…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Yard Stuff–This time of year is not my favorite. Not only is it major allergy season–it’s also time to do yard work. I don’t enjoy this at all–mostly, because I’m lousy at it. I feel like I spend hours and hours weeding, raking, planting,…
My son, Morgan’s, favorite place to eat in our home town is a place called “Musashi Japanese Restaurant”. It’s one of those places where the chef cooks all the food in front of you and usually does some sort of show along with it–making a volcano out of a stack of onions, flipping eggs so…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Cooking Class–Morgan asked me to teach him how to make his favorite rice this week. When I finally picked my jaw up off the floor (he never wants me to teach him anything), I gladly showed him how to make Fried Rice. His secret…
