Please don't think, I don't feed this child! I do, I really do!
The onion-topper
The final count was 19 quarts of apricots, 3 various size jars of jam and one sticky to point of nasty kitchen floor. Mike couldn't let the mushy apricots go to the compost. He had to make jam.
"Why not? We're here anyways. Let’s just get it done." As spoken by the jam-meister.
Mike had to irrigate around 8pm so headed out on the mule (think farm vehicle not animal) to chase the water and the boys begged to watch the All Star game which meant going next door to Grandpa and Grandmas (who weren't home at the time). I obliged and began tackling dinner all the while sticking to the floor. At one point I lost my shoe and had to hop back to get it.
Omelets were the choice meal at this point because I could pull it off with minimal mess and not adding to the already messy kitchen.
I tossed into the beaten egg and milk chopped onion, anaheim chili, tomatoes, a little rosemary, and mozzarella cheese. Oh my. Deeeeliscious!
I called Mike in, and he, Little Miss and I ate our dinner. My thought was to go and tell the boys to come back home to eat. Well, when I got over there, the score was 3-3 in the 9th. So I'm thinking OK, its gotta end soon, and I didn't want to miss a good ending. Mike rolled up, and stayed through the 10th inning, still tied 3-3 and went back out again. By the time the game was over it was 10:45pm and J was the only one awake. He had to wake us all up and declare game over, AL had won. I carried Little Miss to bed and started making omelets at 11pm at night! C was the only one hungry, which was fine. So him And I hung out, Mike came back in and crashed on the couch until his phone alarm went off around 1AM, and he could go change over the water.
At this point I'm wide awake and needing to fold laundry so I plugged in a digital photography DVD and folded clothes until 2AM when I finally passed out. Mike came in at 5:30AM, I mubbled something and he was gone when I woke up at 7AM. Funny thing is, yesterday feels like today because I don't think yesterday ever ended.
