35 And Pregnant

Do you think MTV is interested in marketing this t.v. show? 16 and Pregnant is working so well for them...how about a look at the flip side of the coin?! You know, when you are actually old enough to go out with friends but oh, guess what, you are too tired. Why? Because you are 35 and pregnant. For my birthday outing with the gals, it was all I could do not to fall asleep in my risotto! I survived though. Good friends, great presents (pictured above and below), and wonderful food. The night started at Tango (which I usually enjoy more, but the service was VERY slow on Saturday---I'm 35 and pregnant, feed me fast!).
Tango risotto, fresh bread, and a Shirley Temple served in a martini glass...then off to Karaoke (after a weird detour, parking debacle, and realizing I should not follow those who had two glasses of wine at dinner). Bon Jovi, Abba, Vanilla Ice, Sir Mix-a-Lot, and Madonna just to name a few of the choice artists we sang so beautifully to (MTV would be proud).Two hours goes by fast (especially when you are half an hour late). Thirty-five is not so bad after all, but I must admit, I look forward to my next birthday of not being pregnant, where I can indulge in something other than singing badly and Salt-n-Vinegar potato chips...coffee, wine, beer, something!

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?

...pumpkin patch in Hawaii! Last year, Zachy was two months old when fall (and all the festivities that go with it) arrived. We had the best intentions of heading out to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkin for our new little pumpkin, but c-section mania, baby carrier issues, and sleeplessness prevented pumpkin patching. Not this year! Today's fun more than made up for missing out last year. I am amazed when I think about all the things Gabe did and saw over the course of a couple of hours for only $20. And here's the list: 1. Picked out the 2012 family pumpkin 2. Ate and dripped shave ice with and on brother 3. Decorated mini pumpkin 4. Observed Jackson Chameleons lounging on the arm of volunteer workers 5. Ate a hamburger (they don't do cheese) with brother 6. Petting zoo with 600lb pig, turtles, sheep, cow, donkey, and others 7. Pumpkin cannon (best event of the outing) 8. Large sweet tea in take home mason jar (moms treat of the day) 9. Real Trac...

August Goal: 30 Days of New Recipes

Image
Month eight is complete!  August was a month of learning about new ingredients, trying new recipes, making a few mistakes in the kitchen, and filling our hearts and bellies with happiness and deliciousness.  I’m so glad I made the eighth month of my twelve month long challenge/journey, a culinary challenge.  Last month, in July, my challenge was to document delight…I documented it everyday for thirty days and then neglected to document my DELIGHT journey on the Blog.  It could still happen…   August is my youngest sons birth month.  He loves to cook and bake and cause general chaos in the kitchen so it seemed appropriate that I make August the month of new recipes.  Also, I love books…to include cookbooks…which I seem to have a pretty nice collection of.  Anyway, I have all these cookbooks and many of them hadn’t even been cracked open or recipes attempted…until now.  Most all the cookbooks turned out to be winners (with only a couple of non-...
