Sometimes...life is just cool...funny..wonderful...amazing...and other times..well...it's not.
Today there was some awesomeness.
I didn't have to cook dinner really as Mom was very nice to think of us and made us a yummy chicken pot pie...which all I had to do was bake!
COOL-Beans!
(Thanks Mom!)
I also tried something sooo cool tonight...and I know, it's probably not that exciting or anything, but it is to me...maybe that proves that I have a pretty mundane life...oh well.
It made me smile and laugh with glee...and it worked so that's all that matters!
I remembered a year ago or more hearing you could cook corn on the cob in the microwave....so we had some corn on the cob fresh from our local Seven Oaks Farm.
(Thanks again to Mom and Dad for getting us some!)
It's so worth it...cause man-o-man is that some delicious fresh corn!
Okay so here is the most awesome part of it all (other than the yummy eating part)..I found the article and a video about cooking the corn in the microwave!
Check this out!!
The fellow in the video is charming and cute.
BEST of all.....IT WORKED!!!!
Hot diggity wang dang doodle!
I giggled with glee when it worked! I had my doubts..yes even though I had just watched his video and saw how easy he made it...I really doubted it...but it worked like a charm!
It was perfectly cooked...and no fuss, no muss!
WOW!
Thank You Ken!! You ROCK!
(Ken is the fellow in the video)
I don't think I will ever EVER cook corn on the cob any other way...EVER again!
I haven't posted anything in awhile..so let me catch you up -- this is what I've (we've) been up too:
1. Cross-Stitching my heart out.
2. Letting Natalie build a blanket fort in the living room (and around and over me while I am cross stitching).
3. Taking care of and keeping a watchful eye on my 2 girls and the 5 fur-babies.
4. Laundry...which made me just jump up and realize I needed to wash Ed's work clothes!
5. Went to the Book Exchange again.
Had fun there...I love going there.
We donated a bunch of books...but we found some to bring home too.
Thankfully not as much as we donated. LOL!
I love vintage books and I found some really neat ones.
Here are some of the titles I picked up:
and
I am still reading Grimm's Fairy Tales.
Wow...I never really realized how graphic (and a bit horrific) those stories are.
Lots of death, dismemberment, curses, spells, betrayal, jealousy, greed, heartbreak...well you get the idea.
I read one story called
If you click on the title of the story it will take you to it where you can read it for yourself.
I guess...it's a morality lesson...about not taking others for granted and not being greedy/selfish and maybe just being satisfied with the way things are..being thankful for what you have.
(Which is something most everyone needs to be reminded of at least once or more in our life)
Lessons are meted out harshly in the Grimm's Fairy Tales..let me tell you!
Wow..you usually have to pay with your life or a lot of suffering if you don't do as you are told.
Like in the story
I wonder if that was the original story they came up with BEFORE Little Red Riding Hood??
Anyway..I've enjoyed reading it despite some of the gruesomeness.
Last night I started to read Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol."
I know...wrong time of year...but she started talking about how she is looking forward to school and then started talking about Christmas plays and things and the next thing I know she is telling me about a version of "A Christmas Carol" that they did last year...and she was a little confused about it so I started to correct her and told her we have the story.
So..I started to read it to her.
We aren't even threw the first chapter...the ghost of Marley hasn't even showed up yet.
So that's about it...been about the sum of it.
Well...I think that's it...for now anyway...
