Recent Happenings
Last week little Pierce had his eardrum broke by an older sister taking my two minute absence to the restroom as a chance to play doctor and 'examine' his ears with chopsticks. NOT my best day.
Pierce often says sounds like "mama", but we're never sure if he means anything by it. But I came home from helping with a cleaning project Saturday, and he said 'mama' very happily when he saw me and reached for me. So I'm recording 'mama' as his official first word. I'm thinking this is the first kid to say mama as his first word.
I found my first gray hair last night. :( I tried to find a way to deny it, but there was none. I pulled it, though, which gives me the chance to pretend it never happened. Hopefully I won't see anymore for years to come.
Review of night two of 'Saving Dinner'
I forgot to say on my first post about 'Saving Dinner' that I tweak recipes as I feel moved. Such as using only one onion in the first night's recipe instead of two. Or how I thickened the sauce left in the skillet so I could pour it over the chicken without juices sloshing everywhere. Tonight was supposed to be a fancied up tuna and noodle dish, but I don't enjoy the slightly fishy taste of canned tuna, so I made it with chicken instead. Tonight I used a full box of pasta, even though it had an additional 2 oz of noodles than the recipe called for.
So my thoughts on meal #2 was that it was a fine supper. I would probably double the sauce recipe next time, as it seemed a little dry. Admittedly I like my meals on the saucy side, and I know the dryness was at least partly my fault for using more noodles than the recipe stated. Overall, it was along the lines of something I would have come up with in a pinch for time, although it incorporated more veggies than I would have thought to add.
