Did she just bake? If she did, I mean someone else...
Wednesday I made fish stew. It was very good. Downside: I showed up to NVCB rehearsal REEKING of fish. :-(
Another downside: I brought leftovers for lunch and stunk up Ms. S's room for her students coming in after lunch. She didn't seem to care, but the kids sure did! ;-)
Saturday I made Shrimp Tettrazini. It's spaghetti in a creamy sauce with shrimp and peas, then baked with a topping of breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. yum!
I also made banana bread yesterday. New recipe with cream cheese and a cinnamon/brown sugar streusel in the middle. VERY GOOD! :-)
Tonight's leftovers, but I might bake some bread to go with it. We have a lot of leftovers to use up.
Oh yeah, and the light has gone out in our fridge, which is making me constantly checking things to see if they're cold. I know the light doesn't make things cold, but in my head, it's apparently all connected.

my new toy
A Pentax Optio W30 Waterproof Digital Camera.
IT CAN GO UNDERWATER!!! Up to 10 feet for 2 hours!
How cool is that?
Here are some pics of me playing with just one of the MANY functions on the camera. There are a lot of of editing features as well as filter, flash and other features.

Kitchen Rug
I crocheted this using regular run-of-the-mill worsted weight yarn. I held three strands of yarn together and used a size N hook. It didn't take me very long at all. It was pretty easy. I have a number of other rug patterns in the book I picked up. It's pretty cool.
too good to eat?
The boy got this piece of chocolate from work. It was almost too pretty to eat.

Shopping!!
Things I bought today:
The pattern and fabric for sewing my ring bearer's pillow. Now all I need are two fake rings to tie on there. (no offense Jack)
The flower girl's basket, and all the stuff I need to make a small bouquet inside (except the flowers)
Yarn on sale at the Christmas Tree Shop.
Cadbury mini eggs - the kind that are chocolate with the hard candy shell - my favorite easter candy!
Cape Cod Cinnamon and Sugar Sweet Potato Chips - I haven't tried them yet, but they sound good!

Dinner and a Movie
Saturday date night! Woohoo!
We went to eat at Hooligan's Bar and Grille off rt. 20 in Marlborough. It was a so-so restaurant. Not too bad for a bar. I don't know if I would go back.
After we ate, we went to see National Treasure 2. I thought it was really good. A lot of adventure-packed fun! :-) I would definitely recommend seeing it!

Candidate Matchmaker
My matches:
48% - Bill Richardson (I haven't even heard of this guy)
45% - Hillary Clinton (the boy might have my head for this one)
43% - John Edwards (I liked him the first time around)
42% - John McCain (how is this possible??)
40% - Barack Obama (I am surprised by this, I thought it might have matched more)
40% - Mitt Romney (eew)
38% - Chris Dodd (I don't even think he's still in the running)
38% - Mike Gravel (who?!)
38% - Fred Thompson (Law & Order automatically makes this guy cool)
35% - Joe Biden (again, who?!)
35% - Dennis Kucinich - (is this the guy who has the wife that everyone ogles?)
33% - Rudy Giuliani (good for NYC, but will he be good for the USA?)
28% - Ron Paul (any relation to RuPaul?)
20% - Mike Huckabee (no surprises here)
20% - Duncan Hunter (for the third time, or is it the fourth?...WHO?!?!)
I guess I am somewhat middle-of-the-road, since I have a couple of Republicans way up there on the list. I guess I really am telling the truth when I registered Independent!

Cool Facts
These are some pretty interesting facts about the show Law & Order: SVU
Richard Belzer carried his role of Det. John Munch over from the series "Homicide: Life on the Street" (1993). He also played John Munch in "Law & Order" (1990) which had several crossover episodes with "Homicide", an episode of "The X Files" (1993), an episode of "The Beat" (2000), an episode of "Law & Order: Trial by Jury" (2005) and the finale of "Arrested Development" (2003). This is a record for appearances by an actor playing the same character in different
Many of the actors on the show previously starred on the HBO drama "Oz" (1997) including Dean Winters and B.D. Wong. Most notable, and ironic, is Christopher Meloni (Detective Stabler) who played a sadistic rapist and murderer on OZ and now hunts them on SVU.

that's a lot of diapers
I'm watching TLC this morning, and there's apparently a marathon of shows about people with an OBSCENE amount of children.
There's one couple who had fertility treatments and had a set of twins. They tried for one more, and got SIX for a total of EIGHT children.
There was another couple who had 12 children. This was an interesting family where (unless there was some SERIOUS editing) everyone in the family seemed to genuinely get along. All of the children pitched in to help clean (there was a 6 year old vacuuming). It was kinda cool to see. I'm not saying I want a dozen children, but it was cool to see.
There was also another couple who had 17, yes, I said 17 children. There was only one set of multiples (twins). That poor woman gave birth 16 times (and I think she said 7 of them were at home). I guess after the 4th or 5th birth they probably just start falling out on their own. This family ranged in age from 4-31, so at least they're spread out.
Wow, it makes you think about how many children you would really want to have. I'm thinking 3. That's 14 less than one of those families! (which still boggles the mind)
But I guess none of them were as large as Bach's family.

sooooo good
My new favorite restaurant might just have to be TGI Fridays!!
New on their menu...
DESSERT MINIS!
Large-sized shotglasses full of mousse. I had the peanut butter cup.
SOOOO good!
:-)
Another "I wish I had my camera with me" moment
The sun came out this afternoon shining brightly on the white landscapes of Boxborough melting the snow into the cold air, causing a fog to rise up, the likes of which are usually reserved for the wee morning hours.
It was gorgeous.
D*** the dead batteries in my camera!!

I'll be the one in a raincoat
I'm waiting for the Pats game to come on, and I am thinking that there's NO WAY I'll ever be able to spot the boy amongst the crowd, but I will try anyways!
