Week 3... Late

So I'm a little late posting week 3. I do have good reasons though. Not only did I start school this week but more importantly Achilles ate my card reader. Yes, ate. It was in several pieces and in nonworking condition. So here I am finally posting week 3.

I made a beef and mushroom roll with Julia Child's potatoes. Plus, there was beer dip and sherbet punch. Pretty great.

Dinner preparation actually started with making dessert. Milk and glucose were the first ingredients. I made chocolate mousse.
It's SO weird to touch. It's kinda fun though because it's jiggly but not sticky.... I shook it a lot. It gets mixed with some cream and sugar.

You mix it with some chocolate chips, then refrigerate it. Make a lovely chocolate sauce and behold you get...
Looks pretty great right? It was, very rich though. I didn't like it so much but the Tussing's loved it.

Back to actual food. I'll just show pictures of the beer dip and punch. It's not that exciting.

So now back to the beef and mushroom roll. It looks pretty plain before it's backed. Nothing too special.
The bread actually tastes like a biscuit. It looks pretty good and tastes pretty good when cooked.

Now I didn't take a picture of it all together. Kind of bummed about that but as a special treat I have a picture of me.
Wait, that's not me... it's my super cute puppy helping me clean the dishes... well helping himself to some left over crumbs. Potato, patata... to him anyway. Here is me.

2 Year Anniversary

May 15th is our anniversary. For out two year anniversary we went to the Grand Canyon. It really couldn't have been greater. Here are some of the pictures from this past weekend. This was our cabin and the view from our window We learned how to lasso and saw tadpoles Relaxed and enjoyed the view I do have some travel tips for you. If a place if called "Out of this World", you really should stop and try their food. Eat a burger, take a picture, order a cake (try to be better than me and snap a picture before you scarf it down), also, order a pizza to take back to your room. It'll be worth it. Trust me.

First Day of School

It seems like everyone is going back to school! Jaxon started preschool this last week. He actually went for a few months last school year but this is his first "first day of schoool" experience. Everyone has asked how he's doing and it's kind of funny. The question almost seems odd to me. He LOVES school. He gets to go outside of the house for 2 hours, 3 days a week and see his friends and play with his teachers. Yes, I understand it's school and he's learning, but at preschool age it's a lot of fun for him. Here's some fun photos from his first day. How cute is he with his little backpack? They had this adorable little photo booth for kids on their first day. I tried to get him to pose so I could read the sign. Of course the sign turned into a bird. What can I do. I tried. Jaxon posed with his teacher. She's so sweet, it's her first year teaching and she reminds me of gum drops and rainbows and puppy dog tails. Everythi...

Pake

When did life change so much? One kid become two? Stay at mom become stay at mom and worker? Errands become errands and more errands because they are never finished? Seven become seven and eleven? Wait... I may have gotten a little off track with that last one. Life is always so crazy it seems that one you finally get used to it, something changes. That's what pake is. Something you're not used to but it can totally work. A pake: half pie, half cake. Don't worry, we're not talking apple pie with frosting. It's a pie crust with red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. Now this is a learning lesson. The original recipe I used is from  Lifetime . It was originally made on a show called "Drop Dead Diva". Total chic show but it was fun. The only thing it that whatever world they cook in, cakes rise several inches. Here in the normal world? Not so much. I've modified the recipe slightly below. Ingredients: Pie Crust - Either make your own or ...
