Yep today is the big 31! What did I do today?? Went to the plastic surgeons office and had dinner with the family!
I will write an entry on my appointment with the surgeon later. I am tired and this 31 year old needs some sleep!
Good night!

Left overs are a dream!! Didn't "cook" but we ate at home. I am posting late but I was at Bachelorette party this night!
More Important Things
Saturday, Sept 3rd. Nick's Uncle Brian passed away. He had been sick for a while. Liver disease had reeked havoc on his body. The day I met Brian I had another Uncle. The moment he new Nicks heart belonged to me, he let me into his. Brian never met a stranger. He loved in a way that made you feel at home and comfortable. I miss him. Our youngest son Liam Brian is named for this wonderful man. My heat is breaking but I know Brian wil always look after us.

Days 26 &27
Wednesday
Pesto!
An easy dish I make when time is low! Basically you cook Rotini noodles as per package instructions. While that cooks chop up half an onion, half a bell pepper, 1 large clove of garlic. Drain your pasta and put back in pot. Add the veggies then add your pesto. I get the cheap kind in a jar (same aisle as pasta sauce). I used to get the fresh stuff in the refrigerator section but it is wicked expensive (like my NE speak) up here. Toss the veggies and pesto together. I usually let it sit until its warm or even serve cold from the fridge. I served it with garlic cheese bread!
Thursday-
Tonight I will be making Veggie Fried Rice! In a wok heat olive oil. Once heated add thicker veggies (those that take longer to cook) like broccoli, carrots and bell peppers. Then add your thinner/smaller things- onion, garlic, cilantro. Then add your pre-cooked (cooled) rice. Toss and get the rice coated with the olive oil. Continue tossing and add soy sauce, I also usually throw in some black pepper.
Serve hot!

Day 25
Another busy day! I deep cleaned the house today (well at least the main living area). Doing this while juggling the three kids was fun! ;-) I was mothering, doing laundry, folding, cleaning, vacuuming, or moping something from 7am until 3pm when I was finally able to shower. It feels good to sit in my clean house.
Tonight I actually cooked twice! Noah requested Chili and Chips for dinner (aka Frito Pie)
To make chili;
1lb ground beef - browned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
1 can pinto beans
1 small can of tomato sauce
2 cups water
3 tbs Chili powder (this is a very rough estimate, I usually just use a regular spoon not a measuring spoon)
1.5 tbs Cumin (again rough)
Garlic powder
Add the tomato sauce to the meat.
Combine dry ingredients in a cup, add the two cups of water and stir. Pour mixture over meat and sauce. Stir well. Bring to a boil and let simmer. Add can of pinto beans. The longer the chili simmers the better it will taste.
Put yours chips (corn or tortilla chips work best) in a bowl. Pour the chili over the top. I usually add home made pico (chopped red and white onion, cilantro, tomato, garlic, salt, and pepper) and cheese.
This is what the family ate.
I went to a lovely friends house for a Brunch dinner :) I was planning on making a large omelet but it proved to difficult to flip so it was just a scramble. Basically it was scrambled eggs with pico (see above, duh.)
Everything tasted great. Now off to bed!
