Dinner tonight was yummy!



Since we all know that I just haven't gotten around to hiring that personal chef I've been needing, I had to come up with dinner, again. Mexican seemed to sound good, so beef enchiladas it was. Everyone ate them except for middle - she didn't like the them. The irony of that since she eats everything else including brussel sprouts. She decided she would rather have the left-over steak. The child loves her red meat.

The best part of this dish is I made so many there are leftovers for tomorrow. Left-overs, what a beautiful thing!

Oh, I need to make some Mexican White Dip. We love this stuff and the worst part of living in Amish Country is no one in this blessed area seems to know what we are asking for when we go to one of the Mexican restaurants. Of course, if ya need a smorgasbord, then this is your place.

Here's the recipe:

Mexican White Dip (creative name, huh?)

1 cup Miracle Whip
1/2 cup milk
1/2 T chopped garlic (or 1/4 tsp of garlic powder)
1 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp oregano
2 T sour cream

Mix all of the ingredients together. Chill for atleast 3 hours. Mix well again so the flavors meld. Serve with tortilla chips or on top of your favorite mexican inspired dish. Enjoy!

Photo session with a 4 year old





I needed one, just one, photo to take preschool. After 3 days of trying, this is what I got...unfortunately this one isn't the poser that middle child is as presented in the evidence below...

My Oldest Daughter, the 80's Queen





We are having an 80's flashback girl's night. Thank goodness, I still have my jean jacket and Swatch watch. Now, where did I put my legwarmers and my Madonna bracelets?

Happy Birthday, Honey



Happy Birthday!
Love,
me

The blue screen of death...



I saw it and am heartbroken. This is not the way I wanted the relationship to end. Now to tell the children in the morning. Oh, the sadness that will envelop the house; it won't be pretty. Thank God, Dell is on speed dial these days.

Never get tired of this movie



sigh...

Happy Luber Day



at least it is according to Middle Child. I don't know if this is a result of her "listening ears" in class or her lovely pronunciations due to the current arrangement of her front teeth. Either way, "Happy Luber Day!"
