Quick Update - Under Pressure Cooking

My new website is a fun new hobby. I checked my Google Adsense account and I have an estimated earnings of $6.20. That's about maybe 50 cents an hour not including the cost to host my site. ha! I will post an blog entry on how to make money on your blog.

I just posted an article on how to optimize your mac. I have convinced many family members to purchase Macs for their home computers. Mine was starting to run a little slow (4 years old). I tried out a few of the tips that I read online.













Amelia is now 3 months old! She is smiling and giggling. I told Phillip that a fairy was born when she giggled for the first time (from the Tinkerbell movie) ha!

Phillip and Lily are funny as usual. Here they are wearing a pair of our shoes. Lily finally figured out how to put on my knee-high boots.

Phillip has been asking really thought provoking questions. I think he saw a show about astronauts and he asked, "How come we don't fall off the earth into space?" I tried to give him a simple answer but he kept asking, "but HOW do we NOT FALL INTO SPACE?!" I then had to explain gravity and that's how things fall. He's a pretty smart kid! ha!




Phillip really likes playing with my iTouch. I've set boundaries so that he doesn't download anything. He used a doodle application to 'enhance' and picture of Pete and Amelia.

Soooo... yesterday I was doing cooking projects. I was going to blog them as under pressure cooking. I made a chicken noodle soup with my pressure cooker. I was planning on making chicken stock from the chicken back and wings. I put all of the ingredients in the pot and was about to add the water when I realized, I didn't put it in the pot but on the HEATING ELEMENT. Ga'ak! Soo... I got all of the ingredients out .. no harm done. I won't make that mistake again. I had two chicken breasts and thighs that I was going to cook, but I put them in the oven while I was making the chicken stock. I forgot to set a timer and I ended up roasting them for an hour and half. G'ak!! I kept thinking of what Pete's Mom (a kindergarten teacher) would say to her students, "It's o.k. to make mistakes while you are learning." Well, I did learn that I need to set timers, and take things slowly if I'm going to do cooking projects. I also learned that cooking projects are a lot better if Becca is in the kitchen.

But, I will use every last bit of those two chickens I bought from Costco

2 thighs and 2 breasts -> chicken noodle soup
2 thighs and 2 breasts -> cooked chicken meat (a little overcooked :-)
back, wings -> chicken stock -> lentil soup and future soups
drumsticks -> terriyaki chicken
