So, I have made the Buffalo Style Chicken Wings before and they were great! This time I used an interesting hot sauce to marinate the chicken in (see picture). Also, we made the blue cheese dip according to recipe, but added cilantro and green onion...maybe a pinch of salt. Great! And the kids liked it too! Great low carb dinner.
...was a Serenism in itself. We're eating the fish I made and she's scooping hers up with some rice with her spoon. Each time she scooped, she dug straight down and grated the spoon across the bottom of the plate, making the sound for shear shock value. "Seren, stop scraping the plate." Dig...screeeeeeeeech. "Seren..." Dig...screeeeech. "That's enough Seren."...."Seren, please use your fork, not your fingers." Seren proceeds to pick up her fork and skewer the fish she held between her fingers. Picked up another piece and skewered the fish with her fork as she held it in the palm of her hand. "Seren, don't flick your chili pepper you found in your rice across the room, leave it on the edge of your plate..."
So, I made the Oven Steamed Sea Bass recipe, but with talipia. It was great! How great? Well, when I asked Evy if she wanted seconds, she readily agreed she would and exclaimed, "Mamma! Make this again!" Even Penny and Seren enjoyed it.
The recipe for Oven Steamed Sea Bass. Of course, Sea Bass isn't in my budget, so it will be talipia.
Tonight was Seren's date night with Mommy and, boy, was she in a mood!
I had been teasing her with my video camera, trying to record some of the funny things she was saying. She got mad that I was trying to take her picture. By the end of our date, she accused me of being a bad mommy all day. I said, "But, I wasn't here all day, Seren. I was at work." Seren said, "You should tell your work that you're too busy! Too busy going on dates!" Then I laugh at what she says and she threatens to send me back home to go live with my mother. It's funny coming from a five year old (tomorrow), but I hope she grows out of it some by the time she's 15. Probably not so much. *sigh*
Dear Xander
The apples of your cheeks are the apple of my eye
Against my lips they are soft marshmallows
Tainted only by the scent of spoiled milk
Your breath is a warm breeze that washes over my soul
Like hot lanterns your eyes refine my very purpose
Your temple is where I want to be always
Listening to the pleasance of your breath as you listen to mine
While your bubbles of drool drip like dew upon my shoulder
and your head bobbles as you climb invisible mountains behind me
Your laugh sends me above cloud 9
I bask in your smile shining upon me like the glow from the sun
Your cries could awaken the most deafened ears
The depth of my heart is pierced by your pain
If only my love could heal your wounds
If only life was as innocent as you are
Please stay as pure as the water I put in your bottle
Don't ever let the dark mystery of life dampen your glow
Love,
Mommy
