Mondays have gotten so much better around here now that Zander is on Feingold. Thank God for that missing puzzle piece.
A week or so ago we had the smoke/fire microwave popcorn incident. Mike is hoping to be able to fix our microwave. At this point it is out on the back patio. This means that when the kids want to heat up lunch left-overs they carry their plates through the dining room, living room, library and out to the back porch. I’m still not used to seeing the parade of food. Sister Val’s daughter Nikki would certainly say this is “ghetto”. Shoot….I commented over the weekend that the neighbors send wonderful smells of steak through the neighborhood when they cook out – we send the smell of burnt popcorn wafting through the neighborhood. {vbg}
Zander was told yesterday that if he would (hmm no nice way to say this) poop in the toilet we’d take him to Mr. Gatti’s. This is a place he loves to go and we’ve not gone to it for months…it isn’t on Stage One of Feingold. Would you believe he DID it last night? Again this a.m. I guess I don’t have to cook tonight and we’ll see how he handles the pizza sauce. The good thing is that he doesn’t eat much there – he really likes the GAMES – in fact he calls the restaurant “The Game”.
I’ve got bananas and grapes in the dehydrator now….hoping I can eventually get those yummy banana chips (think most of them have a coating on them to crisp them up – and I KNOW that most the brands I’m finding have artificial flavors)….as for the grapes…well they were cheap at Albertsons a couple of weeks ago but they just don’t taste as wonderful as the co-op ones. I ordered another case of fresh ones to eat from the co-op. thinking these might make nice raisins for park day or granola.
The phone keeps ringing today and ARIELLE shocked me by reading Thomas A. Edison – Wizard of Menlo Park and Little House to Nolan. School got done with very little help from me this a.m. This certainly not what I want to do every day but it was nice to see them carry on.
