Teachable moment

I pride myself on being the type of Father that imparts wisdom to my kids. I know some mistakes have to be learned on your own but I think it's important to reveal my own mistakes to my children so they may learn valuable lessons without the humility of some wrong turns.


Today I was able to teach Campbell green food coloring and vanilla look the same from the back and you should take the extra time to prevent a Dr. Seuss inspired breakfast.


I'm not sure she sees the error though. Maybe she's doomed to repeat my failings.

 

That's my boy

Last night we went to eat at Hooter's. Jenna and I used to eat there a lot when we lived 1/2 mile from there but we rarely get there anymore and we had a hankerin' for wings, so.....

The waitress talked to Noah a lot and he was in a pretty charming mood. About halfway through dinner, he leaned over and said "Dad! Dad! I can see part of that girl's hiney (sp?) coming out of her pants."

We had a pretty good laugh but thankfully she didn't hear.

Frozen sushi and too much time

A few weeks ago I saw a Schwann's truck in my neighborhood and it got me thinking. Then I came across a Scwann's catalog and it got me thinking.

So I found myself with some free time one night and checked my 'Someday/Maybe' file and found the catalog. You'll have to Google 'GTD' for more info on the 'Someday/Maybe' file.

I went onto their website, created an account, and gave it a shot with about 5 things. We were pretty impressed. Food quality was pretty good and prices were reasonable for what I ordered (beef is only thing that seems a bit overpriced).

So the next week I made a considerable order and spent a lot of time sifting through the choices. one dish I kept coming back to was their sushi. I love sushi. I'm blessed to live in an area that has more sushi restaurants than steak houses. I'm not kidding. We have good sushi too.

I tried to resist but the curiousity got to me. I added a 'Sushi Tray' to my order. It came frozen so I left it overnight in the fridge to thaw. Yesterday for dinner I was prepped and ready.

I'm not going to completely kill it because it was exactly what I knew it had to be. It tasted as fresh as...well frozen sushi and for the price I'll keep doing the Blue Fin takeout special. live and learn.
