2. I didn't know what to make for dinner tonight, but I had a can of corn, a can of Rotel, a can of refried beans, and a can of salsa verde. I also had rice & ground beef. Unfortunately I had no tortillas or tortilla chips. But, I still was able to throw together a rice dish that (most of) my family ate. Oooh. And, we topped it with some fresh cilantro which has started popping up again in my father-in-law's garden.
3. I'm reading a new book for the book club I've recently become part of. It's called Little Bee by Chris Cleave. It's the story of a Nigerian refugee girl who escapes to England. It's not a book I would have chosen on my own, but it has completely drawn me in. It's powerful. And, even though it's fiction, it's a story that could be true. I'm reminded again of how blessed we are.

ReplyDeleteLittle Bee is the book that took me ALL summer to read! Definately not a pick me up kind of book...but good nonetheless!
I think your dinner sounds yummy...I could eat mexican every night!
I entered that giveaway. Chattymommy is great. That is a beautiful ring. I would have never thought to take kids motrin. I would have had to suffer. Sometimes I have a hard time thinking outside my little box. Need to work on that. I use rotel all the time. Love the stuff.
ReplyDeleteChatty mommy, 4 teaspoons did the trick.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I would have been piling on the sour cream too except there was only a smidgen left in the container for hubby & I to fight over.
Gorgeous ring.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have taken infant medicine. Confession -- I love the melt-away strips. Sigh.
I hope you felt great today.

I cannot believe it! I just looked over at your follower page and realized that I never followed you. How could that be???? Bad, bad, bad on my behalf. Sigh. You are now followed, my friend!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that made you chuckle. :)
Sometimes those dinners we throw together with what we have become our go-to favorites. Love cilantro over here too!
