Eggs, Drums, Corn Syrup and Squash
In our home we try to eat healthy, but we do enjoy food and like to eat "bad" stuff too.
In our home our two kids having differing views on food and what we eat.
Child a is on a no corn syrup mission. This child likes to eat healthy and really make s an effort to eat right.
Child b's motto is "We're going to die anyway. Can I have a couple of cookies?" This child could really care less about nutrition.
To find out what this egg is for go to my teaching blog...
Ahhh...he's back! J has a natural talent for all things music. He played drums for awhile, then gave them up. Dad packed them all back up in a big dell box and left it in the corner of J's room. I wanted, J wanted to put the box away. It was just more clutter. Dad kept saying, "As soon as I put it up, he'll want to play again." Dad won out. The other day I came in to see J unpacking the drums and the banging is once again a sweet sound in our house.
My beloved brings things home. Sometimes it's candy, newspaper stories. More than once he's said he has a surprise for me and it was a dead snake or the likes. So when he came home with a big (dog food type) bag saying he has a surprise, I was not looking forward to finding out what was inside. I was actually nervous. He pulled out this monster squash all excited. He was telling me all the things we could make with it. Um, this lady doesn't think so. It is going out into the trash. I don't mean to sound harsh, but it is over ripe.

Out with the old, in With the New
To fill you in, in case you don't know already.
One of the leaks that we've found caused damaged to our old vanity. If you've been to our house you know what our bathroom looked like.
It has been sitting like the before photo for a few days. Today it got done!!! R took off the toilet yesterday and what we saw made our stomachs get a bit tight. I won't go into detail, but let's just say that it was only being help on by one rusty bolt and the seal wasn't sealing anymore. So we called the plumber. He said that we were okay!!! Thank God because neither of us wanted to voice the concerns that were in our heads (that we'd have to tear up the floor). He also looked at our bathroom and told us to try something else before we tear up the shower area to find the leak.
Before...
After...
The bathroom is just barely done! I LOVE it! I painted the mirror (the paint is a whole other story) to match the vanity. I was a bit nervous at first (C was really nervous). J said, "It looks like the expensive ones!" He LOVES it. I also painted the area around the lights. Don't know what to do with the trim over the tile. Let me tell you the toilet (MAJOR flushing system!!!) and the vanity just fit. (R had to trim the toilet handle!) Now the lighthouse picture just doesn't fit. I want to make something for there.
The best part is that we got it all $80 cheaper. The vainty/sink was the display and the toilet was cheaper at the other store, so they beat the price!

Leaks...
So we have a leak...where? We don't know.
We (he) thought he found it behind some paneling in the entryway...it was a mice hotel. He thought the "leaks" were mice pee...um, GROSS!
We (he) thought he found it when he found a leak in the sprinkler system next to the house.
Tonight we (she) hoped it was found when a leak under the main bathroom sink was found. (Note: everyone but me, saw the water on the floor and didn't say anything!!!)
Three (we 3 who ate the goat cheese from Mexico) have been "leaking" for the last two-three days.
We (both he and she) think we need to take out our tub or more in our bathroom and find the leak.

YUM PW style!
Last night I made Spicy Shredded Pork from the Pioneer Woman. We ate about 1/3 of the meat. So I froze 1/3 and cooked the other 1/3 tonight. I have no photos. But here's what I did.
Spicy Shredded Pork...shredded
Olive oil
1 can of diced potatoes
Hot NM green chilies...diced
Goat Cheese (from our neighbor)
IGA defective tortillas (any will do)
Heat the shredded pork in pan with olive oil, add green chilies. I chopped the pototoes up more, then added to pan. You can add a bit of chicken broth if the meat is too dry. cook until heated. Serve on tortilla with goat cheese (cheddar will do). You can add sour cream. This is just too good. Everyone LOVED it! YAY!
