TROMBONE MAN

Frittata Time

I made a potato onion frittata in my new frittata pan, with a side of white asparagus (the kids had the asparagus with some mac and cheese). I LOVE MY NEW FRITTATA pan.

First you thinly slice the potato, and saute them in oil for 20 min. Then saute the onion. Then add the eggs, and cook and wait.

DELICIOUS!

Random Things

I know that I have been a major slacker. This is a busy time of year. School is winding down. Mark's class is putting on a Cricket in Time play. Mark is also doing his first research project, on a weasel. Each kid needs to do a report on a New England animal. Mark is doing a fabulous, and his teacher is teaching him how to organize all the different parts, and NOT TO WAIT FOR THE LAST MINUTE. Mark's class is also going to have a recorder concert.

AND, let us not forget that Naomi is graduating from preschool in June! Yup. My baby is graduating. So on one morning, I will go from Angier's presentation on New England Animals to the preschool graduation. I am really excited.

And we have my company party.

And Mark and Adam had one boy scout sleepover two weekends ago, and another one in June.

And two trips to FL planned.

And Mark's Little League season is underway (mostly).

Hebrew School is over for the school year.

And the cook book project still looms. Editors needed.

And, I still have to do the cooking and cleaning and laundry.

Recently I made a buttery chocolate chip cake from the Boston Globe which was amazing. Last night I made cheese quesadilla's, which were a big hit. I also made sweet raisin bread, and the jury is still out on that.

Mother's Day

Today is mother's day . . . . nine years ago, I celebrated Mother's Day for the first time, as being a mom.

Today, my crew gave me a Frittata pan, which I have been eyeing for a few years. For lunch, I made an onion and portobello mushroom frittata, which was delicious!!! My mom brought the brownies.

The kids gave me a great card.

The cover said "Good moms let the kids lick the beaters." When you open the card, it says "Great moms turn off the mixer first."

I laughed til I cried!!!!!

Side Note - Mark had a great birthday party with his friends, including a TRON CAKE, and a sleep over. The sleep over went VERY well. Can't wait to have his friend's back.

The first part was laser tag, where the "host" told me that this crew, was the best behaved and least wild party of the day!

Happy Mother's Day

Birthday Season

So it is birthday season here. Both kids have birthdays the last week of April (and the end of Passover too).
