Agony & Estacy

Ok….not really.  But I’ve had a few high and lows as a parent lately.

A low from yesterday shared on Twitter

Knitnmom Ever wonder how much liquid a mattress can hold? Well, I can tell you at least 2 quarts of Iced Tea. (sigh)

A high from today

J3 and Sissy are “fixing” my hair (already a big plus!) and J3 says “Mom, you have the prettiest sparkles in your hair.  How did you do it?”  I told him God gave them to me.  He tells me they glow in the light and I’m lucky!  lol  Guess it’s just a matter of perspective.

2nd CSA Box

This week’s box has….

  • Rio Red grapefruit
  • Onion (one red, one white!)
  • Garlic
  • Summer squash….mini balls, crooknecks, patty pans, Italian heirlooms…..lotsa!
  • Chard
  • Kale
  • Winter Savory
  • Beet
  • Carrots

I need to quit just looking at the Kale and try those roast Kale chips! I think we’ll roast the squash too.  And Trina tells me the beets would be yummy roasted too.

I plan to make the chard pasta dish again – going to pick up some shrimp today for a great dinner!

If I can find the juicer, I’ll juice those grapefruit.  But the last ones I just peeled and then dipped in a bit of sugar!  SOO good…a guilty pleasure!
