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

Don't you ever get sick of chicken??? beef is so expensive, so we eat chicken... everything!
ha! yeah, I guess that is a lot of chicken. Pete and the kids like it though. :-)
You've got to simplify - get the whole chicken from costco and throw it in the pressure cooker and you get fall off the bone perfectly cooked shredded chicken and 2 qts of delicious stock. I do that at least once a week!
I'm glad you didn't ruin your pressure cooker.
All the money you are making will at least take you to a garage sale - or crown burger
keep up the good work gal
By the way - I've sworn off pork but we have a whole chicken that feed through out the week,
1 lb of ground beef a week
then sometimes treat the kids to breakfast sausage or bacon.
Meat is just not my favorite treat
Good tip on the chicken! I'll have to try it!
ISnt everything better when becca is in the kitchen? Sigh...
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now. Keep it up!
And according to this article, I totally agree with your opinion, but only this time! :)
