We tried to curl the NerdPie’s hair recently. I got her hair up and that went fine. The problem arose a few hours after she went to bed. Apparently they were keeping her up so we had to take them out. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that beauty is pain;). Maybe we will try again when she is older.
Ruby orbs of juicy goodness. Yes, I am talking about pomegranate seeds. At Trader Joe’s they charge about $3.99 for pomegranate seeds. They look like they are about 1 pomegranate’s worth, maybe less than 1. Now on the other side. Here are 3 pomegranates that I bought for 50 cents a pound at a farmer’s market. But then there is the business of seeding them. It is super easy if you just plan ahead a little.
Outside my window I see my neighbor’s citrus tree’s (maybe grapefruit) fruit over my fence. Maybe it will ripen soon;).
I am thinking of how to organize my week and enjoy it at the same time!
I am thankful for my husband and my children for the joy they bring to my life.
From the learning rooms we are doing our Kinderbach this morning and hopefully a fun history project this week!
From the kitchen I have beer bread in the oven and will make chocolate chip cookies in a little bit!
I am wearing sweats and a short sleeve shirt (yes I’m grungy and frumpy today, even for me)
I am creating my holiday gift and to do lists this week.
I am going no where today!!!
I am hearing The Cheftians and I am so pulling out the Christmas music this week.
Around the house I need to clean up so I can have some of my friends over this Friday!
A few plans for the rest of the week: Craft night over here Friday and the tea on Saturday!

Hey guys! It is time for a little planning for the week! I just got a $5 turkey from Vons so we are going to slip that in this week!
I had cooked chicken and was craving some sort of comfort food so I was rummaging around my pantry and the internet for a yummy recipe. So I found a recipe over on the Bisquick site and then I started to modify. It came out pretty good!
Alton Brown was doing an interview with the LA Times about his new book, Good Eats: The Early Years
Say it ain’t so!!!!
He goes onto to say that he won’t kill it before its time but he doesn’t want it to jump the shark. AB think that he isn’t popular with the kids and man is he wrong! Not only do NerdDad and I both love the show (and just about every nerdy adult I know) but my kids love him!!! I hope he is just hedging because my heart might be broken if he were to leave. I already am edgy that there isn’t more AB on Food Network as it is!
Scripps Research Institute has come out with a study that looks at the addictive nature of junk food. Apparently these rats were so addicted that they were willing to take a shock in order to get the beloved junk food. They are trying to prove that the junk food is just as bad as drugs.
I made 4 loaves of banana bread today as my Tackle It Tuesday!!!!! I used a recipe that I found over at Tammy’s Recipe that has wheat flour in it. The bread is moist and freezes beautifully!
Years ago I had purchased a cheap package of birthday cards from Currents. Then I got into rubber stamping (a little). So I planned that when all those cards were used up I wouldn’t buy any more but make them. Well, I finally ran out of birthday cards but hadn’t gotten around to making any. I was buying them 1 at a time until I could get around it.
