Last week dominic and I made quesidillas. (case-a-de-as) I put on the sour cream and then I passed it to Dominic who put on the cheese. Last, Dominic put the finished quesidillas on a pan.
P.s I turned on the heat after he put them on so he would not burn himself.
Such a sweetheart.
He wanted to stay a fair distance away from the flam.
Stuffing cheese in his mouth.
Stuffing more cheese in my mouth.
Dominic will never fail to say cheese for a camera, even with lots of mozzarella in his mouth.
Today Dominic got his first cooking lesson ever. Today He helped me make the very simple boxed mac and cheese,
First I got a pot of water and put it on the stove to boil,then Dominic did the rest.
He cut the butter.
He dumped out the cheese.
He dumped he noodles into the pot of now boiling water.
Hmmm looks good.
I could not get a pic of him putting all the ingredients into the pot.
All done.
Cheese.Happy Thanksgiving all my blog readers. How long did you guys spend in the kitchen cooking,cleaning, and having panic attacks about what ingredients you forgot at the grocery story? I spent about nine hours total the day before Thanksgiving in the kitchen, and there was mom, me, Sarah, and Landon in the kitchen at the same time. Now can you imagine families leaving ALL the cooking and cleaning to mom? Thats not fair.
What did you have at Thanksgiving dinner? I had turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, some sort of corn dish, stuffing, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, pecan pic, apple pie, banana pudding dessert, and punch.
Be thankful for what you have, count you blessings and write them down on a piece of paper and put the list next to your bed.
Daniel loves oranges. He also calls them apples so I wonder if thats why he eats oranges like this.
I don’t think he liked me taking his picture.
For Alex’s birthday I attempted an ice cream cake. I thought it turned out well. Tt was a strawberry cake with rocky road ice cream(chocolate with marshmallows and nuts, Alex picked it out.) After the cake was done, Landon helped me create two lightsabers across the top. The ice cream was not home made, but the cake was. I got the ice cream cake recipe from a cook book I got for my birthday. The cake i made was a little too sweet so next time I will cut down on the sugar.
I was the first to attempt an ice cream cake in this house.
For Easter I got a bag of truffles and I brought three truffles upstairs one for me, mom, and dad.
I gave one to dad them I put the other two on the counter and felt to go find mom, and when I came back there was only one there. So I looked around to se if anybody was there and Daniel stood next to me so I said
“Daniel did you eat one of these truffles?” and he said “It was really very very good.”
This year for Thanksgiving we went to my grandparents farm on my dads side. We had a wonderful time, my grandma made her delectable deviled eggs, brownies, stuffing, and more. My granddad made the best turkey I have ever had, Sarah made yummy pumpkin pie, mom apple crisp, I made some kind of drink with ginger ale, fruit punch, and raspberry sherbet. Some time after lunch my granddad took two children at a time out to his field to drive the tractor. First he brought Daniel and Joseph, then Alex and John, and last but not least he brought me. Driving the tractor was very fun. It took me a while to get used to driving such a big peace of machinery. After that my granddad went outside with Landon and dad to shoot a big gun (we are way out of town) at an old can, the gun was very loud, and they did have ear protection. I stayed inside. I do not like to shoot guns it hurts my shoulder. After that we all stayed inside. It was very cold and windy so I did not get any pictures. But my granddad just sent me a picture of the tractor and deep till I drove.
On Tuesdays I take a class for strengthening and conditioning for pointe. On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving my teacher said ( we must be thankful for our food and I will make you be thankful, and make you remember me over thanksgiving.) Everybody remembered her, including me. I was so sore, and even to this day my abs and shoulders are sore.
Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. I hope you were thankful because some people have only a piece of bread to be thankful for, NOT turkey, pumpkin pie some kind of drink with ginger ale, fruit punch, and raspberry sherbet, apple crisp, deviled eggs, brownies, stuffing, and more.
Landon’s 16th Birthday was a few weeks ago. He had cheese cake with cherry topping.
I think I am the best a getting these type of pictures.
Ahhhh he’s killing it. Murderer!!
We have a co 2 machine that we hook up to a bottle filled with COLD water and shake until it’s as fizzy as you want it then you’r done “fizzing” as all the boys call it. Next we put soda stream flavoring in it and there you go. There is about 8g of sugar in it and about 35 calories. Now Joseph loves this stuff and he has it about three or four times a week and one day he walks up to me and says “Maria will you fizz?” and looking at his adorable face with his pretty please face on and can’t say no, so I start to fizz and I notice a ssssssssssss sound coming out of the machine and I think it must be leaking to I take the bottle off and taste it and it is not very fizzy. So I tell Joseph the machine is leaking and his water isn’t very fizzy but he tastes it and says “Oooooooooh Maria it tastes very romantic.”
With the cookbook I got for my birthday I made some cream puffs they were very easy to make and very good.
