...and he was still HUNGRY!

Tweet

I've seen a couple of these fuzzy characters the past few weeks and I'm pretty excited I got such a cool picture of this one. Finally Eric Carle's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" makes sense to Henry... didn't encounter too many caterpillars in Tucson. Nice to put a name to a face...

love letters

Tweet

I need to be sewing... but keeping up with my kids and the mess that follows me everywhere is all I can seem to do these days. But... I did send some roses for a pot of tea and a love letter to one of my dear friends. Hopefully, I'll get a treasure in return.

kisses...

Lazy Sunday

Tweet

Not much happening today... the windows are open, the sky is blue, played a little Wii with Hen, planted some mint and parsley, made a giant pasta salad with tons of veggies for dinner tonight, went to the asian market for some jasmine rice and coconut milk (thinking of EEB) and really wanting a Sunday paper. One more day of weekend! Yes!

An orchid opening... over a couple of days...

Spring Rolls!

Tweet

Since our arrival in Seattle I have been enjoying our very diverse neighborhood and the food the area has to offer... Vietnamese food is my favorite at the moment. These SPRING ROLLS are 2 for $5 at most local restaurants... but I decided to try them out myself with my own twist.

These are filled with:
baked tofu, spinach, organic broccoli and carrot slaw, and vermicelli. I made a simple dipping sauce with soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, chopped peanuts and water.

They are not nearly as lovely as those served by Pho 88 but we liked them.


Larry just added that we needed mint in them... and they would have been perfect! Hey... I had a mint plant in Tucson... and I just realized it DIDN'T make it here somehow. Darn it.

Wheels

Some old wheels and some new wheels. Love it!!!

tuesday toes - toes day

Tweet

Did you do this in elementary school? If it was a Tuesday, watch out, 'cause that meant your toes were gonna get stepped on.

Those are my toes (and Maggie) at the beach this weekend.

I go to POTLUCKS...

Tweet

I have my hands so full during the day that I had to pre-make 77 appetizer meatballs tonight for my pre-schooler's Family Picnic Potluck tomorrow. I love meatballs. So should you. That's all she wrote...

P.S. Don't worry, they'll be drenched in a delicious ketchup-based sauce tomorrow. Yum...
