Chinese Food Desert Style

That’s right. There are exactly 3 restaurants in this town claiming to serve some sort of Asian food, whether it be Thai, Chinese or both. Aaaand one of those places if you order a chicken dish, all you get is the chicken, no rice- nothin’. The other place, we tried and it was okay and expensive as all hell. And I won’t even dare try the third place. So I drove up to Albertson’s. I figure if I’m gonna pay money for food that doesn’t taste all that great, I can just make it myself. Yup, that’s how we roll in the desert. Don’t hate.

BTW- that Orange chicken (pictured above) you can pass on it. Not so yummy. The Egg rolls, though? To die for.

Whachoo Lookin’ At?

The Love of Family

This friends, is the top shelf of my pantry. I should rename it to Cadence-ville.

I told my family back in New York what type of stuff she likes to snack on and they stocked me up.

That is part of what family is all about…

Never mind the fact that Cadence is the only girl in this generation of the family,
surrounded by 6 boy cousins.

Family is love. Family is caring. Family is sharing.
Oh and family is Gerber foods. (lol)

Thanks, Guys.

Gone Skinny

Yup. I went ahead and aquired a pair of skinny jeans.

They’re great.

AND they were on sale.

Don’t mind the spots on my mirror- my child likes to throw liquid on it and I’m too lazy to clean it.

And don‘t hate on my socks- you know you like them.

Cake Making #Fail

I thought I would get my Betty Crocker on again yesterday and this is the result.

Come on!! It looks like a mushroom!

So, my baking friends. I ask: Why did this happen? Why did the top sink in like that? I haven’t tasted it yet, but my dear husband- who would eat a rock if I cooked it- said it was “good.” Pffffff

Waste of Paper

I found this on the ground at the end of my driveway this morning:

Now, why do these still exist even

Okay… I realize some people don’t have the internet and so the phone book is still a valuable resource, but here’s the thing. How much paper are they wasting with these? I think the phone company (or whoever is responsible for this) should ASK if you want to receive the phone book. That way, they don’t have to print unnecessary copies and they can only give it to those who want it.

Two of my neighbors STILL have their phone books just sitting on the street and they have now been soaked with rain. I’m sure the street cleaner will come by and pick it up.

Mine? I recycled it. I don’t want or need it.

Cheaper is NOT always Better

While out at my favorite store Wal-Mart and buying some supplementary meals for the baby girl, I thought I’d try the Wal-Mart equivalent to Gerber’s Graduates meals. Ugh. HUGE mistake. I open the pack and it looks like a tray of mush. I am literally fishing through the “cheese” to find the meat and veggies. Yeah, I couldn’t bring myself to let the baby girl eat it. The Gerber meals on the other hand? I was tearin’ those up and would’ve ate the whole thing myself- especially the turkey and mashed potatoes. Yum.

My husband has a motto that he lives by: “You get what you pay for.” I think, in this instance, he’s right. But don’t tell him I said so.

Clean Sweep

Some mornings, most mornings C wakes up before I’m ready to get out of bed. She will usually watch Elmo’s World or her So Smart! DVDs and allow me an extra half hour of sleep.

I guess on this particular day she felt the need to clean out my nightstand drawers and this is what I woke up to:
