Mushrooms

I do not like mushrroms by themselves. In salads, sure, and most of all fried!!! Use to be the only mushroom I would eat is a white button. Use to be the most mushrooms Davide would eat....NONE!!!

Then we discovered Crimini or Baby Bellas. THEY ARE SO GOOD!!! We have gone from having mushrooms 3-4 times a year to 6 times in the last week alone. I totally recommend them.

I made a yummy mushroom soup and chicken with them last week, fried with onions for steak, Dave put some in "gourmet" mac and cheese, and this morning I fried them up and put them in scrambled eggs. It still amazes em what a yummy flavor they add. I will never go back to white buttons.

I highly suggest that if you live near a mushroom farm, you take advantage of their retail and try them out. We got 3# for $6!!!!!! It was a great deal, helped our local farm, and added some nutrition to our meals. You DO know they are really good for you, right?

Oh, and Kieran LOVES them plain. He would eat them like candy if I let him. I am not quite there yet.(For those who don't know, he is almsot 4 years old)

Rabbits

We have been invaded by rabbits...wild rabbits AND domestic rabbits.

Apparently the Latin American men "across the way" love rabbits......as pets. They have BEAUTIFUL rabbits...BIG rabbits......UNCAGED rabbits. My kids love them even though they can't touch them. I love them...just not in my yard. Each morning there is another one out there. I am pretty sure that mommy and daddy rabbit love each other waaaaaaaaayy-too-much because those rabbits are MULTIPLYING FAST!!!

I am not sure my poor little row of lettuce(7-8 plants) stand a chance. They are about 4 inches tall and I think the rabbits are gonna catch that beautiful scent of lettuce soon and my lettuce will go bye-bye.

Let me tell you, when that day comes.......

.....I WILL HATE RABBITS.

Time

You know, a minute seems so small. Just 60 seconds, no big deal. An hour and a half just went by and I didn't accomplish much. I can't believe it went that fast!!! But then, the day goes SO SLOW. I feel like I just wait out the day for Dave to get home and it goes on Foreeever!!!

It makes no sense to me. If 1.5 hours goes so fast why does the day go so slow???

Take it up a notch. The day goes so slow BUT my kids are getting big so fast, and the year is almost half way done already!!! I just don't get this at all. I mean, Eann is SIX already!! Kieran is anxiously awaiting FOUR, and Rohanna is 18 months. I told her she was suppose to stay little longer but she laughed(for real).

When I am old, what will happen? Will I look back at time and wonder where did it go? Will I wonder what I did with all that time I had? I hope not. I hope that those slow days make memories for someday when I look back on how fast it all went.

Soooo, what memory are we going to make on this slow day??
