Not chicken again!

I have decided that I hate everything that I know how to cook. As I've mentioned before I landed the job of head chef in our house. I can make a few things, most involving chicken, and I'm really sick of everything I make. I need to find a way to make more meals cheaply and with not too many of ingredients. As is stands we spend too much at the grocery store and still end up eating out more often then we should. I feel bad for Joy and Hayden because some of the stuff I cook I can't even stand. Well, I guess I can start with some cookbooks or something.

In happier news Seri loves her sippy cups. I found these disposable ones that if you take a safety pin and poke some small air holes in the lid they work better than more expensive cups. Which is cool because you get 10 of them in a pack for 2 bucks.



Also, if the military taught me anything it's that if you want to knock the fight out of someone just give them a repetitive task and make them do it for a good long while. For example, Hayden has gotten a little immune to the corner lately. Come to find out that his little imagination is all he needs to get by a good 15 minute stay in the corner. So I started making him walk up and down the stairs. It works wonders. I just have to mention the stairs and he straightens right up. So now I just have to learn how to cook so I can reward him with something besides ice cream!
