Chicken Gumbo

Ok, this recipe is normally just me winging it so if you make it trust your instinct.

You’ll need:
4 tbs flour
4 tbs oil
1 green pepper -diced
1 onion- diced
4 stalks celery- diced
2 minced cloves garlic
1 can chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
1 lb chicken beasts (cut in chunks)
1 pkg Kielbasa cut up
1 cup frozen Okra (sliced)
Creole seasoning to taste

In large pot, heat oil. Add flour and stir. Heat until mixture becomes a caramel color. Add onions, green pepper and celery. Heat for 3 minutes. Add garlic, heat one minute. Add broth and tomatoes. Stir well. Add chicken and Kielbasa. Add creole seasoning. I like mine spicy to I add a lot. You can always add more later. Last, add okra. Cover and cook on med heat 2-3 hours. I like to turn it to low and let it cook longer.

Serve over rice

You can also use shrimp instead of chicken.

Was it something in the air?

Yesterday Thing 1 was such an ass I was this close to selling him on Ebay.  Sure, shipping would have been a lot but I can overlook that. I normally hate it when DH yells at him but last night I was grinning when he did. Let’s see if I can re-cap for you.

He: Ate sugar from the sugar bowl, went outside after I told him no, snatched his blanket from me when I took it away, grabbed his brothers arm after I told him to stop, threw a fit, etc

And to add insult to injury I’m still fighting with a screaming Thing 2 over the bottle!

I think I’ll ask DH to pick up pizza tonight so we can veg out and watch Lost.

This is pretty neat

Look at this B&W picture. When it turns orange and blue stare at the black dot and don’t blink.

The B&W picture will appear in color! How cool is that?

Note to self

Never type “anal sex” on a blog. Even if it’s part of a joke. Because once you do, people searching for that will find your blog.

Ewww!

Dyson, how do I love thee?

I’ve wanted a Dyson forever. Last year I finally convinced my husband that I needed one. Well I flippin love it! It’s so pretty, works great, and not as loud as my old Wind Tunnel. But now, I have a new reason to love my precious!

My Dyson helped the baby eat 1 oz from a bottle! I read online that someone suggested turning on a vacuum when trying to give the baby a bottle. Something about the white noise calming them down. Well damn if it didn’t work!! He actually sucked from the bottle! Not much, but he did it.

So thank you Dyson, thank you.

Too Timid, here I come

Ok, confession time. I’ve never in my life seen a porn movie. The closest I’ve ever gotten was Real Sex on HBO. And that made me feel dirty.

Well, it would seem I’ve been missing a lot. I’ve been researching bottles and nipples and came across this statement about Avent nipples:

The natural shape and feel of the soft, silicone nipple closely resembles mother’s breast, so your baby latches on and suckles just like breastfeeding

I’m sorry, but my nipples look nothing like this:

So I need to get some adult movies to check out other chicks nipples. Because I fear mine may be deformed if it should look like that.

I’m going nuts!

Thing 2 will not take a bottle! I’ve tried 5 bottles and a sippy cup. DH has tried feeding him while I hid. I’ve tried having music on to distract him. I’ve tried feeding him when he’s hungry, feeding him when he’s not. We went all say Monday with no boob, just bottle. After the bottle attempt we’d mix the milk in cereal and he’d eat it.

I go back to work next week! What do I do? I’m not to worried about working, it’s orientation I’m freaking about. It’s 3 days, 8 hrs each day and my neighbor is watching him. Other days DH will watch him so I don’t feel so bad.

Please give me ideas! Will it be horrible if he “drinks” the mil via rice cereal?

Mortality

My mom just called me.  An old family friend was diagnosed last November with colon cancer. He was treated and they found a lesion in his liver. Last month it had spread to his lungs. And now he’s gathering family up to say goodbye. They think he’ll be gone in a matter of days. I think he may be in a coma now.

That sucks

A little about me

I’m an instant gratification type of gal. I hate saving up to buy stuff as I want it now. I think that is why DH and I argue about what we do. I think me saying “I want this” should be enough and he should go get it. He disagrees. He’s from the “save for it ” school of thought. Yuck! What fun is that?

And along those lines, when I get something in my head I obsess over it. Painting the living room has become a obsession. All day I picture what I want it to look like in my head. Over and over. My husband is the opposite. He forgets stuff right after I mention it.

PS- the bread was yummy!
