Go Pats! ...or not...

OK, I gotta put a shout out for the Patriots! It is going to be a great game.. men in tight pants racing around.. who could resist? ;)

Uh, yeah. Why couldn't Tom Brady run around the field dressed like this instead??

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

Alrighty.. so they didn't win. Congrats Giants... you are deserving!

Well.. I joined the masses...

I have joined the hard core Harry Potter masses and I finished my book in two days. It arrived Saturday around 2 pm (there was a much fumming at the USPS and Amazon.com because I was sure that it wasn't gonna be delivered on time!) It did arrive and with two wee ones and two doggies, and a hubby to cook for, and the British Open on TV (golf) I managed to get through it by Sunday evening. Wow. Loved it!! Ms JK Rowling out did herself and tied everything together in such a neat and fabulous bundle that I was most impressed. And, yes I saw the 5th movie and wanted to fly away with them as they soared through London at night. Ah. Just to sit and imagine it brings a smile to my face. To know that beyond diapers, bottles, late nights, and tantrums there is another world out there is most refreshing and comforting.

Domestic in the Kitchen and too much TV...

I have been spending quite abit of time in front of the TV lately. It is actually nice. I don't think I have watched this much HGTV and FoodNetwork for years. (My two favorite channels) It is nice to have the time to take it easy and the excuse to sit in front of the boob tube. (kinda funny.. if I was breastfeeding the new babe then it really would be a 'boob' tube!) hehehe...

I have decided to try some of the fantastic looking dishes that are on Quick Fix Meals With Robin Miller. She just has this fabulous way of using healthy, fresh ingredients and making several nights meals out of one main dish from the weekend. I just don't see myself having much time in the kitchen to slave and cook for a while, but I do have a family of FIVE to cook for now! (although Baby A will be on a bottle for a while) ;) Z (8 yrs) and T (2 yrs) just are eating so much more than they ever have and C likes to have leftovers for lunch at work. So many mouths to feed!
Another of my favorite shows is Everyday Italian with Giada Delaurentiis. I spent three years living in Italy as a girl and have been back several times since. Authenitc Italian Cuisine just has a very large comfort spot in my heart.
