I have been insanely busy and kept thinking I had nothing to blog about. That is until I start cleaning out the memory card in my cell phone. It’s all coming back to me now! BONUS: Kim sent me some really funny pictures from NASA that I have to share.
OH and then I found a picture of a really great meal we had last week. Some of you might have received a text message on it because it was super easy to make, Head Chef delicious and well, simply cheap to prepare! We’ll call it Frugal-licious. Or NOT…
Chilosh
Ingredients:
1 – 10oz can of Diced Tomatoes (We use the kind with green chiles) (50 cents)
1 – 15.50z can of Dark Red Kidney Beans (57 cents)
1 ½ cup of Macaroni Noodles (25 cents)
4 TBSP of Italian Dressing (35 cents)
Directions:
Boil water in a large pot. Add Italian dressing, Tomatoes and Kidney Beans (Drained) in a saucepan and cook “sauce” on medium heat until noodles are ready (that you usethe large pot of water for). Very important not to rinse your noodles when they are cooked and strained, this way the sauce will stick on the noodles and fill with the Italian Tomato Sauce. Pour noodles into a serving dish or divide onto individual plates/bowls. Top with sauce and serve immediately. This made 9 cups prepared.
Carl and I each had 4 cups a piece and I had a nice breakfast come morning time! We were also full to the brim (skipping desert!) at the low cost of $1.67 total. (0.185 cents per cup!)
NASA FUN!
Kim and the Yod-ster
Apbun and an alien gal
Dad and Apbun. I don't think they were ready.

Carl, “Up, up and AWAY!”.
I’m not sure if this commercial is airing nation wide…but if it is not, this is one of the reason’s why I love living in (a suburb of) the 4th largest city in the nation! Just hear me out and give it a listen. It’s catchy and really funny!
Hahaha. I sometimes sing this song to Carl. He just laughs at me.
BTW… We haven’t put any new pics up of our little guy.
He’s getting ready for bed time. Since he can’t sleep on the bed, he likes to sleep on the matching sham…
Ohhhhh. and P.S. You really don't have to read much further if you rather, I just think it will be great to look back one day and know where I was and what I was doing on particular days so I'm going to write aout my CRAZY Thursday :)

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your detailed description of the day. It was such a crazy one, and I didn't even make eggrolls or go to the Asian market! Here's hoping the ward party isn't as CRAZY and exhausting. :) And thanks again for so much help at the last minute - you are incredible!
