We had yummy fish tacos for dinner tonight. I cut up some Red Snapper and battered them with some Fish Fry. Normally I would have used beer batter but the store was all out. I guess I could have made my own but it's so much easier this way. I deep fried the Snapper pieces and then put a couple pieces on a...

Top Row: POM Juice, Purple Goldfish and Basketball Crackers, Toast with Grape JellyBottom Row: Blackberries, Beets, Cottage CheeseI had a hard time trying to find things for this tin in my kitchen. The beets look red in the photo but you know if you have ever had beets they...
The last couple of days we had a break in the hot weather and I was really enjoying it but today it was back.

Since we moved here in October I have been collecting all our plastic/glass bottles and aluminum cans in the garage and planning to take them to be recycled. I finally crammed the 4 large garbage bags into my car and Penelope and I headed out to the closest recycling center. I didn't realize I was suppose to remove the caps! I guess I've...
Penelope loves to draw, especially on her Magnadoodle. Yesterday she asked for a pen and paper and sat down quietly. When she was finished she handed me this paper and said it was dad. She was so excited to show dad the drawing of him she had created. See the feet at the bottom, arms on the side, the eyes, nose, and mouth...

In honor of National Corndog Day Penelope and I met up with our friends at the mall to celebrate. Here are the little ones enjoying their corndogs. OK, so Destiny actually ate a cheese stick and corndog day isn't until tomorrow, ( Apparently I was very anxious about corndog day and read my calendar wrong.) still you gotta admit these girls sure look...
So here is my version of Pad Thai I made for dinner tonight. It was pretty good and to my surprise Penelope thought so as well. She gobbled her bowl up, I was afraid it was going to be too spicy for her but she didn't complain one bit. So How did I make it? 1/4 pound of Rice Noodles. I used the...

So at about 5:30pm this evening Chris called to say that he received a phone call from someone that had found Kiwi. I called the the number they left and a lady answered and told me that Kiwi had been in her side yard since 11:30 this morning. Since she had been there all day she finally decided to check her for tags...
Ugh! I really need to stop eating out! Not only is it a waste of money but most of the time the food isn't all that great and I end up telling myself I could have made it better at home. I have noticed that most of the places that I have bad experiences at are those large chain restaurants. Take today for...
It's been awhile since I posted Penelope's lunch. I know I am a slacker! Anyway this was her lunch today. She had a Ham and Cheese Sandwich, Tortilla Chips, Cottage Cheese and some Craisins. As you can tell she really enjoyed it. Also stay tuned for some reviews and giveaways I will be posting really soon. ...
