And he couldn’t be more loved or a perfect part of the family if he tried! Now if he’d just go back to his sleeping all night phase again, I couldn’t ask for more! LOL

Teething babies will do that to you! First night in about 5 months that he woke up actually crying during the night. Poor baby :(

But oh so VERY delicious! I have a recipe (again, probably no where near authentic) for bulgogi. So that’s what the meat was but since we always eat it with raw veggies and rice I decided an egg would just perfectly hit the spot AND make it close to bibimbap. Same general idea, but my take on it. It’s VERY good :) And that’s not ketchup, it’s Rooster Sauce.

I read this brief article from a link on one of my unschooling lists and I couldn’t agree more with it. Not only that, I’ve seen the very thing happen with kids (not my own obviously) and agree with her POV about it. It’s a good read.

Makes the world go ’round. Or, Lemon Cookies make the world go ’round. I’ve had a hankering for something sweet but not a cake or average cookie. And after finishing off a huge cheesecake, I wasn’t in the mood for something heavy. And I wanted something light and citrus-y. It is surprisingly hard to find a good simple recipe for Lemon Cookies or at least a recipe that didn’t have “extras” in them although they might be yummy, they weren’t what I was looking for. But then I found it. Simple Icebox Lemon Cookies. That I of course changed as soon as I found!

Is actually starting off much better than last winter. By this time last year we were under so much snow. From just before Christmas through the first week in January we had 3 or 4 storms. MAJOR storms with feet of snow. This year? I can still see the grass in places. It’s been REALLY cold though which I don’t like and icy. I’d rather have the snow than the cold. Actually, I’d rather have no winter! But I live where it’s winter when it’s winter. All of Canada had a white Christmas this season which is the first time it’s happened since 1971. Next winter is supposed to be even worse (the second worse if not THE worst here in 100 years…last winter was the second worst in 40 years apparently). Maybe I can move somewhere warm before this fall? Nah, probably not.

I think it’s the time of year. It makes me feel tired even when it’s mid-day. Or it could be the fact I was up later than usual? And then slept funny? The baby slept until normal time though so I didn’t lose too much sleep overall but I’m just so sleepy! And cold. I hate the winter!

Today I’m going to attempt Pita Breads, Chocolate Chip cookies and possibly Challah. I *heart* my mixer!

So I’ve coveted a Kitchen-Aid Stand Mixer for, oh, 20 years? Actually probably over 20 years. I’ve been cooking for almost 30 (and yes, I realize that I’m only 34…my first “meal” was just before I was 4; I was cooking full meals by 10) years so it’s easily been 20 that I’ve been coveting one. I don’t bake either because I hate do knead and mix everything by hand. Every time we went past one over the last 15 years, I’d sigh and turn to Andrew and say I REALLY want one of these!
