(all of the sudden I can’t remember my darn Roman Numerals – what is up with that?!)
Highlights from today and yesterday include the following:
Please note the delicious dinner I made.
Healthy and tasty.
Pasta e ceci – or for us non-Italians, Pasta with Chick Peas.
If I could I would eat three bowls of this right now.
And the not so healthy dessert I made
Something weird happened to the crust of my Mississippi Mud Pie.
Fellow foodies, what do you think might have gone wrong? The crust wasn’t crusty it was soggy and nasty. Hmmm?
Monday night means Family Home Evening around here.
Millie conducted the meeting and lead the music.
Her exact words were, “Everyone look at MEEEEEEEEEE.”
Jan taught an excellent lesson on empathy – or doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Then Khali and Millie lead us in a closing song.
T’was grand.
Today was a quiet day of playing around the house
working on a rubik’s cube
and writing screen play-ness
All was quiet
until
I turfed Summer and Khali out.
Telling them it was “now or never” if they wanted to go to the MET. So they jumped on a train and went into the city.
(photos taken from Summer’s iPhone, which is to say, Allan’s old iPhone. Jan has promised me his iPhone, when he upgrades, so I am just biding my time until like Summer, my man’s phone shall be my phone -mwa, ha, ha)
They came back hashed and happy.
They city has a way of doing that to you.
I was hashed too and I didn’t go into the city — ugh!
Until tomorrow!
Keep it real, mis amigos.

Mmmm, that meal looked delish! And personally, I see nothing wrong with that mud pie! Uncrusty is as uncrusty does… or something.
Oh, and IV is the roman numeral for 4.

I have been meaning to comment on all your posts and haven’t! I love them – it looks like you are having a swell visit! I loved the pictures from breakfast last week – especially the one where you photographed the ceiling and the reflection of all of you sat below was captured! What a great idea. And Lize, you as a little green leprachaun!! Jonathon thought that was hilarious! ;o) ps. please can you post your pasta and chickpea recipe? I have a ton of chickpeas that need using up before they expire! Thank you – your blog entries the past few days have been “too tremendous” – what a great family you have!
