My husband the chef!

So lately Jared has been addicted to a show called "Good eats". It is hosted by Alton Brown. He has it set to record all new episodes. Now Jared does not watch much TV at all, but he has really taken to this show. He watches all new episodes and then tells me all about them. I have tried to watch the show a couple of times but I can't stand Alton Brown. I think he is obnoxious. Jared likes his scientific approach to cooking. Jared watched an episode on fish and chips the other day and has been wanting to make it. We finally made it tonight. It was fantastic. We used talapia for the fish. It wasn't a huge hit with the boys and we ended up feeding them something else, but us adults enjoyed it.
I haven't seen Jared so interested in anything this much recently. I keep telling him he needs to go to culinary school. Lately when he has had to make dinner, he has used some of the techniques or seasonings, etc that he has learned on the show. Our dinners are fabulous, he made the best chicken fajitas the other night.
I may have to keep pushing the issue for culinary school, b/c if he enjoys cooking so much I may never have to step in the kitchen again - I guess except to do dishes - not sure which is worse - cooking or clean up?

I've never seen the show, but my husband loves any cooking show that we get from our only 13 channels. My brother in law, though, always takes about Alton Brown. I agree with tillia that whatever gets them excited about cooking more power to them. I do have to say that when ever I cook I also clean, so why is it that when my husband cooks I clean? I guess I shouldn't complain.

Any helpful hints you can pass along as to how to get my husband in the kitchen? Sounds like good food. By the way, congrats on the boy. Maybe it's just easier all around when it comes down to it.

Dollywood

Liam's first time on River Rampage - he got drenched but loved every minute of it! Doesn't he look so small! We wanted to do one last fun summer trip for the boys before school starts this Thursday. We took a day trip to Dollywood. We got there a little after the park opened and it was not very crowded at all. We walked on almost every ride and if we had to wait it wasn't longer than a few minutes. Last time we were there in May Adley was just shy of being able to ride all the big rides. We learned about a place where they will measure you and give you an armband that has the appropriate color that corresponds with your height category. This way you are measured once and simply just have to show your armband to get on the ride. Adley was thrilled that he was tall enough this time to ride any ride in the park. Eli and Liam also got moved up to the next category. Thank goodness for Eli because this kid has been dying to ride more rides. He and Adley are not afr...

Mickey Mouse

Mickey is a very loved mouse in our house. Liam absolutely can't get enough of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney. When he wakes up in the morning he comes straight to my room, snuggles in between Jared and I and turns on the tv for his cartoon. He sits there with his arms behind his head and legs outstretched. He is so darn cute. So the other day I decided to buy him a stuffed Mickey. He was so surprised and loved it. Checking him out. Mickey now has his own corner in Liam's crib. He likes his 'pets' in specific places. Also, guess who is potty training???? The only kiddo I have left in diapers - woot woot!!! He has started this all on his own and so I'm optimistically hoping for December to be down to pull ups at night. Liam won't speak to tell us he has to go he just pats himself and points to the bathroom - whatever works right! And here is our very first tomato from our tiny 1 plant garden....... We have a few more and hope they will ...

It's been a while . . .

since I last posted. We have been so busy this month. Adley had his Christmas program at his preschool - they studied Italy and dressed so cute. They sang the song, "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore . . ." (not sure of the exact title). Adley has sung it several times since to many people. I think he might be musical when he gets older. We all recovered from our sickness and made the journey to Arizona to see my family. We spent 12 days there and had a wonderful time. Surprisingly it was warmer here at home while we were gone then it was in Arizona. We got to go to the Lego store, which the boys loved. We played at a really fun park, visited with friends, made a gingerbread house and sugar cookies, ate at our favorite places, went to the movies, enjoyed a visit from Santa at the house and tried to get in some rest. We had family pictures taken for the first time in 5 years since my brothers were gone on their missions. We finally g...
