Just Taking Notes

Oct. 18, 2007 - This week at our home

Sorry to keep you all in suspense as to what has been going on around our house the past few weeks.  I know you are all just itching to know so I will tell you using some fun visual aids. First we have the fungus of the week- any guesses? You got it.  Ringworm with a dab of tea tree oil and a coat of Gentian Violet. Next you will see my Vanna skills in action.  I took this for a contest on my cloth diapering forum which required a photo that says "I am a parent."  Do I look like a Mom? The next series of photos is to show you some of the fun we have around here on my good days. Notice the self inflicted haircut? Speaking of hair.  I think this will be the new rage among the youth soon, n'est pas? Here you can see son #6 doing the dishes.  I do think that the dog does a much better job using the dishwasher. This is an oldie but a goodie of son #5 a full 5 years ago, posing during our annual family Christmas picture photo shoot, which bears a striking resemblence to the next photo. Due to the torrential rain we have received this week our dog has spent much time in jail due to his refusal to eliminate out in the rain, preferring to do his deed on my carpet next to the back door. GGGRRRRrrrrrg. And lastly, you can see a few  of my cooking projects (yes there were many more) that I have taken on recently.  Keep watching for my vegetarian main course recipe using polenta.  Can you say Yummy? Don't let the golden brown crust fool you.  They are still doughy in the center.  I have finally come to the realization that I cannot fit a full recipe of cinnamon rolls in my 8x12 pan. Yes, I did make this rustic artisan sourdough boule myself, thank you. Sourdough bread from my own starter which has been brewing about 3 months now using this recipe here at preparedpantry.com  go ahead and give it a go.  It is sooo worth it. Yes, I gave into making caramel apples with my kids.  We ate them after breakfast yesterday.  I have come to the conclusion that dessert is best served after breakfast NOT after dinner as many would suggest.  Sugar will only digest in the bodies of awake and active children not sleeping ones.  Trust me, I have observed this phenomenon for years and it is true. Well, there you have it.  A glimpse into our lives this week.  I left out the puke pictures and baby splashing in the dirty cloth diaper pail to keep you from losing your own meal.  Your welcome. I would love to see your photo tours so give me a link in the comments section and I will drop by for a visit after I take my chewy gooey brownies out of the oven and get the mud washed off my floors.
