So you did know it was Swirl's birthday. <br /><br />I'm with Mariko you gotta get a kitchenaide mixer, especially since your hand mixer broke. They are awesome and can mix anything and everything.<br /><br />And right now with Kohl's 30% off code I could get you one way cheap.<br /><br />Our house is looking pretty good. Except now I have to touch up paint all three bathrooms and the kitchen because the cabinets are not the same size as the old ones. <br /><br />It's pouring outside my office window, but we are suppossed to have our tennis party tonight.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204531744552663314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3946400564585392549.post-41839268134870357412009-11-12T02:15:21.740-07:002009-11-12T02:15:21.740-07:00Oh my goodness, I'm still totally awake writin...Oh my goodness, I'm still totally awake writing my next post and I am lol-ing and air high fiving you. But I hate to admit I've never heard of a poblano. I'm just thrilled that we are actually sharing cooking stories. I feel so "in-the-club" <br /><br />And I can't believe they'd let the students vote on whether or not they want to go to school or not. UHHHHH?

In fact, my skin was still burning the next day! I made Jake take out my contacts, because I learned my lesson about touching my eyes with jalapeno hands before. (ok, let's say I learned it at least 5 times. I also learned not to touch my eyeballs with white pepper hands at least 5 times. Or poblanos from NYC supermarkets hands (because their poblanos are 50 gazillion times hotter than regular poblanos).)Marikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110357429393082121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3946400564585392549.post-5571501555096794362009-11-12T01:31:12.809-07:002009-11-12T01:31:12.809-07:00I think you're on to something.

At least. <br /><br />Girl, if you're going to be making cheesecakes, and anything else that requires sugar and butter beaten into submission, you need a kitchenaid. Stat. Yes, it's worth $300. <br /><br />We must be on the same wavelength. I made corn chowder tonight with sweet potatoes (so it's practically a potato soup) and Jake walked in and said, "Our house smells very American". <br />Mmmmm. Why does that not sound like a compliment? HUH?<br /><br />I'm bad attitude because our kids are not doing any homework during furlough friday weekends. So they don't do homework at all. AND, they voted for the teachers to keep the waiver days so they could have more days off. And because they are writing the worst history day papers EVER. <br />*insert pirate sounds here*Marikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01110357429393082121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3946400564585392549.post-64198639331659559262009-11-12T00:43:36.932-07:002009-11-12T00:43:36.932-07:00oops again.

No one complained. None left for Adam so he did complain and went to McDonalds.

So I made him a separate dinner. Which he turned his nose up to, also. He did eat the cookies. As in, ate ALL the cookies. WE each got one, he got "the batch minus five".<br /><br />Then he spun so much BS during the meal (He once stopped a shooting at his school, he can shoot 8 arrows through the same apple, he bungee jumped off a bridge while on a 4-wheeler - you get the picture) I started to suspect he wasn't allergic to mushrooms AT ALL!!<br /><br />Sorry, boys.

But remember, don't add more than 15 oz of pumpkin puree.<br /><br />Anjeny, I lub your idea. I used to cook just bland ole' chicken in Hawaii too. I don't know what is happening to me. I think Val is right about the water. Seriously, there is some kinda voodoo going on over here. Or maybe I've just become a desperate housewife. <br /><br />Ha ha Dolly! I am gearing up for their growth spurts. I hope I get a system down before then. And don't worry, I will never convert to home schooling. <br /><br />NHC--I've done that FFYSN A LOT! SERIOUSLY. You'd think it would make my kids actually FFTS with how much I do it. But they just eat cereal. And they like it. <br /><br />Hey, who's Becca. She's a cutie patootie. <br /><br />I like T's solution. Very much. But I'm afeared my meals would be the ones the neighbor kids were calling nasty and then I'd get a bad reputation. And you don't want a bad reputation in Utah. <br /><br />Val, I totally hear you, girlfriend. The same thing has happened to me. In fact, I don't even shop at Costco anymore.
