Friday Fragments

1. Memorable food this week:

-broccoli mashed potatoes. mash the broccoli into the potatoes. Easy and good.
-French onion dip sandwiches with carrot and broccoli coleslaw. I loved the coleslaw because it wasn’t made with mayo. I’m a mayo hater. It was instead made with olive oil and lemon. Mmm-mmm. The sandwiches were also pretty awesome. I felt like I was eating at a greasy spoon – my own!
-Carmel Coconut Fudge Brownies. While the recipes was docked some stars by others for the tough caarmel, I’m not sure what they were expecting. I’ve never met an unsticky caarmel. These brownies were fudge-y, caramel, and coconut deliciousness. I will definitely make them again.

2. I’m running the Houston Half Marathon Sunday morning. Hoping I cross the finish line running. My leg has been bothering me because I over did it at boot-camp last week. I’ve been trying to take it easy on the leg. I also didn’t do the best at training for this marathon. Here’s to the finish line for my 2nd half marathon!

3. I am Wendy this week. Wendy from Bob the Builder that is. And I am sick of the Bob the Builder song, but it keeps Noah happy. I guess I will just continue to randomly sing Bob the Builder. Although every now and then I sing Habib the Builder. I don’t know why, maybe to add a multicultural bent to it.

4. School starts for me next week, and I will be working for free in school libraries. It’s part of my master’s program, lucky me! I haven’t worked for almost 2 years now, I’m hoping getting on a schedule will be a good transition, and it’s only for two months. Keep telling myself I can do it!!!! And then I step into a middle school and remember why I left. Ack!!!

5. Looking forward to Jamaica!!!! Going there for a wedding soon!!! So excited!!!!!!!!!! Off to go purchase our tickets. (And I’m also timing myself on the computer so that I get off and do some practical stuff like clean out the dishwasher. I’ve been slacking this morning.)

6. Sucked into American Idol. How do I let this happen???

Peace!

    I can’t tell you how good those brownies were. I can’t believe I made them myself! I have really gained some confidence in the kitchen since those brownies. It’s like they gave me cooking wings, crazy I know. This week I made a pot roast with the slow cooker, mashed potatoes, and spaghetti. This new year is turning into a new me. Maybe it was the turning 30, what ever it is I like it!

    I hear you on the mayo… wow, a marathon! That is really neat! And I had planned to resist idol as well but it was futile. Darn.
