A Few Quick Things

I told you in my last post, I'd post this recipe!  

 White Pizza

Pizza Dough

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 cup self-rising flour (actually you will need much more)

Mix and knead the dough for 5 minutes

Here's where you'll need more flour, keep adding it 

til you can make a good dough

Roll it out

1/2 Tbsp olive oil, drizzled on top

1/2 tsp course sea salt

(I also added course pepper, ground onto it)

Mozzarella cheese (about 2 cups)

Ricotta cheese (about a cup, maybe more)

Dollop the Ricotta cheese all over

Bake 450 degrees for 10minutes or til golden brown like above!

I made 2 of these, and on the other one,

I put fresh minced garlic and sprinkled some fresh red pepper flakes on 

before the cheeses.

Everyone voted (and we had extra kids(boys) here that night)

Verdict:

The recipe above, no added spices, surprising, huh?  

Sounds kind of plain, but it wasn't, it was delicious!

 Borox cleaned my shower!!

Actually, I cleaned it using Borax.

(and it was bad, really bad)

I thought it would never come clean, 

I thought we'd need to buy a new shower in order to sell our home.

I was wrong.

HERE

is something I pinned a long time ago

and finally tried.

It 

(the dirt and grime and shower soap scum) 

came off like butter.

Really, I kid you not.

OK, not really butter, but it was really easy.

 Seriously, is there any parent out there that actually likes this 4 year old bald kid?

Well, when my 2 year old says,

"Ci Woo, Mama, Ci Woo, Mama"

I melt and give in and let him watch the stupid show.

 Why does the donkey have so many names?

1. Donkey
2. Ass
3. Mule
4. Burrow

Do you think Adam had a hard time deciding what to call this animal?

 Has anyone seen this?

I watched it the other night.

It has me thinking, it really has me thinking.

If beans didn't make me fart so dang much, 

I might give this vegan thing another shot.

Really interesting, I give it a thumbs up.

 Movie review!!

Good movie, pretty good movie

Especially if you like Kevin Costner

 And I do, so I liked it.

I didn't like the weird boss lady he had though, that was a really weird part.

Other than that, it was a pretty good movie, with some cute stuff to make it light hearted 

 Why do cookies get flat like this sometimes?

I rarely bake homemade cookies 

so when they do this, it bugs me

(no one complained)

I could google it, but I thought it would be more fun to see what you'all 

would say.

 My baby boy.

He's a cool dude.

He's so fun and busy right now

and not that red anymore.

(yes, that's a bruise between his eyes...he got hit with a frisbie)

I just want to keep him like this forever, 

fun and busy and in love with his mama.

This little girl, my baby girl will be 5

(YES 5)

on Sunday

My heart is sad, I admit it. 

I don't want her to grow up.

(I'm selfish that way)

She's spunky and full of giggles and she says funny things

and wants to do anything FUN.
And she's a cutie pie.
I mean, look at those curls!

Have you heard of this "ice bucket challenge" thing?

I've never heard of this before this year.

It's for ALS, to raise money to support research for ALS

This HERE

explains the type of research they do

Now when I read something like that, 

I have this moral conscience thing that will not let me let go of it.

I can't read something like that and ignore it, like it's not a big deal.

It's a big deal!!

We need to do our research before donating to an organization

that might be using embryonic stem cells.

You can go 

HERE

for an updated list of organizations that do this.

(their website is down, but the address is there)

 It's issues like these that I get tired of being unpopular.

Why don't people care about this?

Don't get me wrong here, I really think the bucket challenge thing
was an awesome idea, what a media frenzy!

What a way to spread the word.
It's just the particular organization that is profiting is not so up on
the up and up.

SO, what is a person to do?

There are options, a few different options.

And remember...

Spending our time at the beach, where there are no distractions,

just the beauty of young hearts enjoying summer.
