School starts in 86 days!!
Just kidding. Mostly.
Let's do this!!!
A space for spinning through life's accidental discoveries...
running over...
Just a few things reminding me on this Monday that despite those extremely pesky irritable notions on my insides, this life is indeed grand.
My cup runneth over...
my rugby boys
When a girlie puts on her dress-up clothes and decides to hit some balls, its best to Get Out Of The Way, Chuck!!
The focus is all off in the picture, but I had to include it b/c she looks a lot like pics of when I was three. Don't you think, Aunt Charlie?
We are babysitting our neighbor's rescued kitties. Nothing quite like syringe feeding and cuddling these 4 babies to make my uterus ache!
Oh my worrrrrrrrrrrrd!
Its so sweet to see each kid relate to them in their own way.
He just lays on the floor and lets them snuggle all into him. So gentle. He's going to be such a great man someday.
She squeals like they are mice instead of kittens if they come within a foot of her. She plays with them by "Mama I will run around their box and sing and dance la la la and hop and whooooie that's how I play with them!"
Books in his fort. Libraries are the best. I've been thinking lately....we need libraries for things like dishes and fun shoes and sports equipment and nail polish. Wouldn't it be fantastic if every week we got fun new bowls and cups like we do books?! Someone get on that!
Last, have you made the edamame dip yet? We can't stop. The Chachi Band recommends it with garden mint tea in the company of a chia pet. Side note: Have you ever grown a chia pet? They are absolutely sick and disgusting to have on your counter til they get big leaves. Ew.
edamame dip
Ok fine, I shared, but only because he made me.
These are in the freezer section at the grocery store. One bag is the exact amount you need - a scant two cups.
Here you go...
2 cups shelled edamame - uncooked (to quick-thaw them, rinse cold beans in cold water for a minute)
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/4 c. water
1 clove garlic (or less)
3/4 tsp. cumin
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. dried minced onion
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/2 c. (approximate) olive oil
Pulse all but the olive oil in the food processor until it is well blended and fine. Then, with the blender still going, drizzle in as much olive oil as you like until it is smooth.
