Baby sleeping
Does anyone else's baby only fall asleep by pushing thier nose into a blanket?
Oh yes..Mine needs a blanket to fall asleep. He holds his soft blanket and rubs it on his cheeks and then fall asleep by pushing his nose into it. He will never go to bed without his favorite blanket. After he falls asleep I move his blanket away from his nose to ensure he can breath comfortably. I remember reading in a famous baby book called "Dr spock" that while baby is in the mother's belly, the water around them gives a smooth feeling around their face, so now when they get a similar feeling with a blanket or any soft toys or anything they feel very secured and comfortable.

lol...he has 2 fav blankets. They go in rounds for wash. One of them is white in color, very soft with black polka dots on the corner which my sister got him from Qatar. The other one is half white with brown bear prints which my husband's colleague from South Africa gifted to us while I conceived Aayush.....He really loves his blankets...I need to carry one of the blanket wherever I take him... even to Walmart...lol.... The blankets have traveled places and countries with him...lol...
It doesn't make Charlie fall asleep but when he's laying there playing he'll smash things into his face like his soft toys and blanket.
I was concerned when Scarlet started to do it. but like Navitha i just move the blanket away once she is asleep.
Yeah, Charlie has a habit of smashing it onto his face, then he can't figure out how to get it off and starts kicking like crazy and freaking out. Then when I pull it off his face he laughs at me.. lol the goof.
so sweet loves playing with mommy

Well, we just got off the phone with Pete Schulte, who plans to run against Sheriff Lupe Valdez in the Democratic primary next March. Only 29, Schulte works as a prosecutor in the District Attorney's Office and is a former police officer with the McKinney Police Department. That means that he has already passed his mandatory licensing test that the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) requires of all officers of the law, which we bring up for no particular reason, really.
Schulte says that while he will absolutely not run a personally negative campaign, he will bring up the issues "the public pretty much knows about anyway," which basically includes the jail, the jail and the jail.
"I'm in the race to bring finally, competent, responsible leadership to the Sheriff's Department" he says."I don't think its ever been there. With the current sheriff all we've heard is a lot of excuses."
Lest you think this, like many primary challenges, is a shot in the dark, former Mayor Pro-Tem John Loza has signed on as Schulte's campaign treasurer, while veteran consultant Anna Casey is joining the team as his campaign director.

Although Schulte has been attending Democratic events over the last year trying to make contacts and build support, he concedes that he voted in the Republican county primary last spring. You have to like his rather candid explanation:
"I was trying to get a job in the DA's office," Schulte says, since at the time, most people thought that Republican candidate Toby Shook was going to ascend to the position. Schulte anticipates that Valdez will try to paint him as a Republican, but he says that he believes in standard Democratic values and besides, running a jail is about more than party politics anyway.
"Under my leadership, the sheriff's department is going to be transparent," says Schulte, a graduate of the School of Law at SMU. "It has to be visible to the public that we are following the law, that we are doing what we are supposed to be doing and being a professional organization."
We'll be giving the presumptive Republican challenger, Lowell Cannaday, a call in the near future, but right now we're a little more surprised that Valdez has a challenger from her own party. We didn't anticipate the Republicans, however so 2002, would sit this one out, although it would seem like the only chance any of them would have these days would be if Valdez lost in a Democratic primary or emerged badly beaten. Which is exactly the scenario that now presents itself.
Schulte concedes that some Democrats tried to talk him out of running but he says that if he doesn't beat Valdez in the primary, she'll emerge stronger from the challenge. "It's not a bad thing if she's going to be contested. Trust me, if it wasn't me, it would be others." --Matt Pulle

I urge all Canuck fans to boycott Marc Spector - who is obviously a Oilers fan and is again attempting to troll Canuck fans with his latest article. I never read it as I won't give him the traffic - nor should any of you.
Another classic example of an absurd media personality hired by Sportsnet. They really need to makeover their on air talent. The only thing I will watch that they offer is Sportsnet News at 10pm (since Taylor is the host) and any Canuck broadcast.
(I also urge you to avoid reading the Oiler hockeybuzz blogger,
who is paid based on the traffic hits he gets
. He is a ridiculous man).

Crimson Red Long Sleeve Women's Top some times called " Handkerchief Tunic " Cream Lace Insets
$ 32.99
This is a full time favorite.
Limited availability. Beautiful Crimson Red and Antique White Lace Insets. Pull over rounded neck tunic top. Goes great with leggings and it is so so comfy cozy yet a real festive flair.
Ready to ship, same or next day from the USA.
This has been a sell out on Zulily every time it has been offered. Not so festive that it is limited to Christmas.
XL only, runs a little small in my opinion.

Talk:Bo Yikao
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Talk:Yikao)
|WikiProject China
|(Rated Start-class, High-importance)
|WikiProject Taoism
|(Rated Start-class)
Bo Yikao or Yikao, but not Boyi Kao[edit]
I know that the Cambridge History – in its one mention – used "Boyi Kao", but this seems to be an example of Homer nodding. Wiki and wiki clones have made that more common on general Google, but on the legitimate source side, 8 to Cambridge, the use is actually "Bo Yikao" or just "Yikao". More importantly, this is the version used by the Book of Ritual (Tan Gong I) – his (posthumous) name is certainly Yikao (and Bo his title); he is not Kao ("revered dead") with his title "Boyi". — LlywelynII 04:55, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
- That said, kao does seem to just be a posthumous term of respect. If there're any articles about its meaning or sources about his original personal name, it'd be great to add them. — LlywelynII 04:59, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

The reason for tripping to Edinburgh this weekend past was to go to The Kitchin on our wedding anniversary. My husband had fallen in love with Tom Kitchin's cooking watching The Great British Menu years ago and had always longed to go and taste the real deal. So this year, as it was a big anniversary, we packed off the cats to mums and the puppy to my in-laws (my mum definitely got the better end of the deal). We had one unsettlingly quiet night at home without them before our flight making us realise how chaotic homelife has become since we began raising a zoo.
Our Scottish jaunt was put in slight jeopardy on the morning we left due to the worrying reports of torrential flooding and cancelled flights. Impending doom did not deter us and although the December winds chilled us to the bone when we finally got there we felt the first snowflakes of the year kiss our noses as we soldiered up the steep climb to Edinburgh Castle.
The food was every bit as wonderful as we had hoped. Kitchin resides by the water in Leith and was cosy respite from the weather. The delicately imagined food was served by a friendly and knowledgable team who made us feel so at home even though the food was from another world. Between us we had the game tasting menu and land and sea tasting menu, each were six courses.
I don't like taking photographs in restaurants I'm afraid as I would never be able to do justice to the look and aroma of restaurant food thanks to dingy lighting which even the best filters on instagram couldn't fix. Plus when I go to restaurants I like the surprise of not knowing exactly what I'm getting. That is also the joy of a tasting menu. I don't have to bother with the pesky business of choosing what to eat. As I've mentioned before I'm a lazy orderer and the chef always knows better than me what I should be eating. Tom Kitchin was not wrong in this regard, roe deer carpaccio, pumpkin veloute with sautéed mallard heart and a jellied partridge consommé and Kitchin's signature dish of razor clams were the stand out dishes. The service was impeccable, the wine divine and the evening one to savour.
We stayed in the Rutland Hotel for the three nights which has two restaurants attached to it. The Huxley which is an informal affair slinging a variety of hotdogs and small plates. The best dish I tasted there was the cauliflower and coriander fritter with beetroot houmous which greeted us an hour after our plane had touched down along with raspberry negronis. The Rutland also offers a fancier alternative, Kyloe, a self titled gourmet steak restaurant with half a cow sticking out of the front of the building to really hammer the point home. We had a wonderful lentil dip offered with our bread at the start of the meal, it was so nice to have something different than a bit of butter. A starter of mussels drowning in cream and garlic was worth the visit alone. Although the rib-eye steak was average, the thick cut beef dripping chips would knock the socks off any chip in the offering.
The other meal definitely worth a mention was a wind whippingly cold jaunt to the Saturday morning farmers market on Castle Terrace where wishes of pig in a poke were granted and then some. Oink served soft white rolls smeared with haggis and stuffed with the most tender melting pulled pork, salty crisp crackling and topped with a fresh apple sauce. Pulled pork rolls have become disappointing over the years but this has reawakened how indulgent they can be, the haggis adding real depth of flavour.
We rolled ourselves onto the plane on the way home laden with Edinburgh gin, haggis and tartan. I abstained from bringing the omnipresent shortbread home with me, instead all I wanted to do was bake a batch, so I did as soon as I got home and added a little something extra. These are like millionaire shortbreads but with the emphasis on the rich buttery biscuit rather than a thick caramel which can sometimes be a bit cloying. Plus, whisky! Lovely with a hot toddy. Go on dip it, I dare you, and dream of a snow capped Edinburgh Castle.
Scotch Whisky Caramel Shortbread Bars
For the shortbread bars:
225g unsalted butter
100g caster sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
250g plain flour
75g cornflour
A pinch of salt
For the whisky caramel:
125g caster sugar
150ml double cream
20g butter
2 tbsp scotch whisky
50g dark chocolate
- Preheat the oven to 180. Line and grease a 20cm square baking tin.
- Beat the butter and sugar together for a couple of minutes until fully incorporated.
- Add the vanilla extract, stir to combine.
- Sift together the plain flour, cornflour and salt then add to the butter and sugar. Beat until it starts to come together, then tip into the baking tin and press the dough into the tin.
- Bake for 20-30 mins until the top is just starting to turn golden.
- Leave to cool for an hour in the tin before removing and cutting into bars.
- Tip the caster sugar into a small saucepan and heat on a medium temperature until the sugar melts. Do not touch with a spoon but you can encourage the melting by swirling the actual saucepan around occasionally if you like.
- Once melted, carefully stir in the double cream and butter, the caramel may harden slightly but just keep on stirring the bubbly mixture until the cream, butter and sugar are smooth. Then add the whisky, stir in quickly and remove from the heat.
- Leave to cool slightly before drizzling over the shortbread bars.
- Melt the chocolate then drizzle immediately over the shortbread bars.

Our familiar images of Mexico's conquest are powerful and enduring - bold and blood-thirsty Spanish conquistadors, nobly savage Aztecs lamenting their broken spears, the triumph and tragedy of Cortes and Moctezuma. But one story has not been told - and it is one that reshapes our entire vision of the conquest. It is the Maya story of the Spanish creation of a colony in the ancient Maya homeland of Yucatan. Maya Conquistador tells this tale through a collection of unique first-hand accounts - most of them previously untranslated from the original Maya texts - written from the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries. In it are surprising twists: The conquistadors were not only Spaniards, but also Mayas, reconstituting their own sophisticated governance and society; and the conquest was not one catastrophic event, but the story of the survival of a vital and complex civilization evolving over centuries of contact with the Spanish and other peoples. Out of this new chapter in history, the Maya emerge not as passive victims of European expansion, but as astute observers of their own past and participants in a rich tradition of cultural resilience.

Need a Super Hero?
Today was a good day Tater! That's from Ron White a comedian I like. Anyway, me and the boys had a good day. We all got along for the most part ,for us that's good. Ian even took out the recycle with out arguing with me (that's like a 10 for him). I recorded Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, and I really like that and I thought the boys would. And Ian did but Lee...well he just continued to talk through the darn movie! Frank takes enjoyment in that cause I talk through movies and I can't believe how annoying he is, and Frank relishes it. He's mean! Ian and Lee even voluntarily went outside for a bit today (SO not my children) I have to BEAT them outside and then ponder whether I should lock the front door to keep them outside. IF I do lock the door I only last for a minute, unless I'm sweeping then I keep it locked. That's just for my sanity and their safety.
Tomorrow Ian starts Karate so I'm really excited about this. I'm really hoping this will tucker the little fella out and offer him another outlet in which to get his frustrations out. A channel if you will for his anger. Plus I'm hoping it will also teach him a little more self control. He's really excited too which is good. I do hope he likes it and I'm hoping it won't backfire on Frank and I. Meaning Ian doing some moves on his brothers..I can see it as a possibility. But I am more excited about Karate than I get about Ian doing basketball...I wonder why?
And on an edgier note...I ate my first slice of pizza WITH cheese on it tonight! Can I get a WOOT! WOOT! It's been since January since I've had pizza with cheese and it was yummy! I even had half of another slice that's how cocky I got. We'll see in the next few days how well Eli's system will take that. I've been slowly adding dairy into my diet, but not anything to get all excited about, I'm still not brave enough to drink that nice cold glass of milk that I have been craving quite yet. I did have mashed potatos with real butter the other day and cheese on my tacos, that kind of a thing. But I don't have dairy everyday and it's still extremely moderated I don't want to push a good thing.
So that was my major excitement for the day I hope you all had a good Tuesday! Take care! I hope to have pictures of Ian at Karate tomorrow!

Other than that fiasco, we ALL had a great time! We went today and I know we could spend all summer and then some there exploring every nook and cranny there and then some! They have some play areas there which of course the boys discovered with their Grandpa and of course that was the first thing Ian and Lee wanted to go for. But we did, get some of the wigglies out. Then we went lunch where it was truly a red letter day for my kids cause my friend, Ms. Liz bought all the kids a push up Popsicle! BOY HOWDY! We should go to the zoo every day! Not to mention on top of it all it was some kind of special day at the zoo, I never did figure it out, but they were giving cupcakes out to everyone that wanted one. So they all had cupcakes. It actually worked out well, they needed a snack..saved us a buck!
We saw lots of animals and walked A LOT! I think the all around favorite with the kids was the South Pacific exhibit which included some pretty big sharks, not sure if they were Great White (I'm thinking not) but they were pretty big all the same. I think my favorite was the Beluga Whale and the Walruses and the sea otters. They just come right up to the window...the Walrus swims right up to the window and slides up on it..very funny to watch. One Sea Otter was hysterical (see this is where pictures would be nice, right?), this otter had a big read ball on his stomach just laying in the water sleeping. It was funny. The Polar Bears were pretty cool too, they were feeding them so we got to see that. They were diving in the water getting their food. Those are some pretty awesome animals.
So I think after seeing that aquarium I want to take my boys to the Seattle Aquarium...I want to go too. I love it there, but what I need to do is plan it on a hot day and go to the Aquarium, be somewhere cool. Well put that on my list of things to do this summer...I have a list going...in my head. I'm thinking that's not a good idea I should write it down, there is no trusting my brain these days. Alrighty, I'm going to take off!

I don't know what was going on with the family today, but holy cow! Because of the snow I didn't want the kids outside dragging mud and dirt into my house. Along with making my floors all wet. So what happens, some of the adults had the kids go outside...THANK YOU! I now have dirty floors. *shaking head* On top of that when they were inside, they as in the kids, they wrestled with their Grandpa and Uncles and their cousins...in the MIDDLE of my living room!! HELLO!?! I have a teeny tiny house! Not a lot of room let alone trying to talk to someone!! As you can tell I'm annoyed and still working on letting it go!
And one of the reasons I wanted them to not wrestle and be loud in my house is cause Eli is so DANG sensitive to his environment that if they kept doing this it was going to affect him and me (lets be honest it's about me). But no one listened to me and so it continued. The kids romped on my floor, climbed all over my furniture, took beds apart...I just can't go on it's making me mad. Anyway, I'm not paying the price for that and Eli is NOT a happy camper. It's going to be a LONG night!
And we have a big day tomorrow we are going to the Zoo and I'm excited. This will be Dru's first time to a Zoo, and I can't wait. It will be Lee and Ian's third time to a zoo. Their first time to the Point Defiance Zoo was with their Grandpa Jolly! And they were so funny cause all they wanted to do was play on the toys there while Grandpa wanted too look at the Polar Bears and other animals. I think they all managed to comprise but it did throw Grandpa for a loop though.
Okay well Eli didn't last long with his toys so off I go! I think I'm kinda glad I didn't eat this cake...can you imagine the colors of the rainbow after all was said inside my body and it did what it needed to do? You know..poop! Shiver! Anyway. Take care! He's now screaming at me.

Smow! Smow! and more Smow!
I have a friend that is moving her family back to Chicago for many reasons. I know why she's moving but it stinks all the same. So they were packing their moving truck today and will be heading out tomorrow at some point. The truck they had wasn't big enough for all their stuff...so they might have to get another trailer. So while they were doing that I was watching her little boy who is 5 months older than Dru. They are good buds and play very nicely together, it's so nice to see your children have their own friends. I miss them VERY much, I'm pretty sure I'm repeating myself but it is what it is.
Ian went bowling today and from what I hear they ALL had a lot of fun. Ian's friends came and they all went in Frank's truck while the other dad's followed in their vehicles. Why they didn't travel together I don't know, I didn't ask. Nor do I have pictures cause Frank refused to take them...long story. Anyway, so the boys all get their own lane and the other dad's take off and bowl in their own lane, except Frank. He was with all the kids. So they are bowling and Ian's friends didn't hit one pin and Lee was the first to hit a pin. Ian scored a 31 for his game and Lee didn't do too bad either coming in at a modest 18. If it wasn't such a long wait for lanes with bumpers they would have done that but after waiting for 45 minutes, they just went for it. I am proud of Ian, he made a big point of making sure his brother Lee was included with him and his friends. Sometimes he's got his moments. Of course after Ian opened his gifts from his friends, after they got home, Lee LOST it in a big way...guess it was all too much. Eventually he calmed down, thank goodness.
Well now onto these lovely photos I've got here. I heard a rumor somewhere that it was Spring. I think it's a viscous rumor and it should be put to rest. It may have been the first day of Spring on the 20Th, but it sure isn't acting like it. So today it started smowing (this is how Dru says it, isn't that cute?)today. It had been trying off and on all day, like chunky rain. And then out of no where it got cold quick and started snowing HUGE flakes, like silver dollar size! This weather is nuts! I WANT to plant my garden but do you think it's been the right weather? NO! It's either raining a deluge or it's snowing...neither of which are conducive to planting a garden.
Well that was a tangent. This is out my front yard right after it started snowing.
It started building up fast on my car. Big flakes!
After a few hours...this is Wrong!

What do you want to be when you grow up?
Isn't Dru like the cutest kid? I say this a lot and I know I repeat myself a LOT! But dang it I'm right!Dru sat VERY still and listened to what the firefighter had to tell the kids, he wouldn't go near the firefighter though.The firefighter was putting on ALL his gear and the kids were looking at it. Lee is in the orange shirt.It almost looks like he's doing lunges, but to be honest I can't remember what he's doing but I think it's something to do with his uniformThe Three Musketeers, Will is in green, Austin is in blue (in front of Will) and then of course there is our guy Lee. He LOVES preschool.Lee and Dru got to sit in the firetruck! Ooober exciting!And not to be outdone Sparky joined in the fun. He's the cutest of all. Don't you think? And he liked the hat so much he wore it in his exersaucer, maybe he'll grow up to be a firefighter one day and look this cute too!

Chunky Monkey
Okay so the second one I'm sorry to say is not set up with out craining your head. But enjoy all the same. And yes I'm biased :)
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
This is newborn Frank, Ian is the spitting image of him and Ian's baby picture is pretty much the same just 20+ older. He's so darn cute!
Frank is NOT a morning person by nature, but because we have kids he is by necessity. He, as do I, prefer to sleep in. We often reminisce about how we used to sleep in until noon, get up and eat, and if we felt so inclined, go back to bed. Aaaahh those were the days...but I know he wouldn't change what he's got now for NOTHING!
He's a handsome fella in my book! And he does many things he'd rather not and LOTS of things cut into his sports watching time, but more often than not he's good about not letting that affect what we are doing as a family. Don't get me wrong, he's still watching sports and sometimes he's watching it while we have family get togethers, but we've come to an understanding...if he can have it on to check on now and again he's good, which is fine with me (most of the time). If I had to guess, I'd go out on a limb and say that Christmas is Frank's favorite holiday. This guy I have to reign in EVERY year present wise. He just wants to get and get and get for his kids and I have to keep telling him we don't need that many gifts for EVERY kid, we have 4. He doesn't get where I'm coming from most of the time and well neither do I really. We do go round and round with Christmas a majority of the season, but in the end it gets done and everyone has a good holiday.

Rockin' Robin
But here they are:
- Go to bed earlier (this is the one Eli's blowing out of the water) so I'll revise it and say go to bed when he falls asleep for the night and not staying up until 1am. I just can't function or get things done staying up that late.
- Eat better...been doing alright but definitely eating more portions than I should. Need to get back on track
- Get a better exercise schedule going...and with Eli getting bigger and okay staying with Frank it will be MUCH easier for me to go
Well that's what I've come up with so far, I'm sure I'll be adding more when I accomplish those things I've already listed. The bed time one will unfortunately cut into my time on the computer talking to my friend Nikki but I think we might survive and it won't be forever...I promise Nikki! ...you know that song is now running through my head...you know the one...I will survive...(sadly that's the only line coming to my mind.) But you know the one...cause we are good like that, finishing each others thoughts like that.
So we got to see some wildlife in the parking lot of Red Robin today, we were all quite excited about it.
Dru and Eli...as you can see Dru still doesn't look on top of his game but he sure wasn't gonna be left behind on this momentous event for our house. He does love hats though...I think he'd tried on several right before we left and settled on the Seahawk one...Goofy kid! Eli wouldn't look at me, I was trying to get his attention and he wouldn't...he was intent with that fan he could see.
Frank and Ian. Ian was beside himself with excitement. He got off the school bus and already had it figured out what he was gonna eat. He was going to order pizza and a chocolate milkshake and he couldn't wait for the ice cream the waitresses bring you for your birthday. We met Frank at the restaurant and Ian called his dad to make sure his dad let the workers there know it was his birthday so they would sing to him and he would get his ice cream. He LOVED it when they sang to him, while the rest of us out there want to duck under the table when they come.

Movie Day
So we finally get up and Frank and the boys have been up for several hours and Frank is lagging and has a headache he's not been able to get rid of. So I run a quick errand, in hopes of relieving his headache, I go to Starbucks and get him a triple shot peppermint mocha. It did the trick for awhile. Shortly after I got back Eli needed another nap and so off we went for another 2 hours...today was a good day tater!!
The other reason we decided to stay home was that Dru was acting funny and neither of us could figure out why. Well, after awhile we got wise and took his temperature...a 101' fever will make you feel out of sorts. Don't know why he's got a fever but it sure took the wind out of his sails that's for sure.
So, the boys got to watch their new movies from their Aunt and Uncle got them and they were in 7Th heaven ALL day! They LOVED their new movies. Frank and I watched our movie which was Miracle at St. Anna's. When this movie first came to the theaters I thought I heard it was either based off a true event, true story, or even true people. But we never did see anything that said that before or after the movie. So now I don't know if I heard right or not. Oh well, it was a long movie and it was okay. I figured the movie out before it got over...I NEVER do that! I'm stumped to the end or longer.
For those of you who don't know we are taking part in Lent this year and I chose to have my boys start participating in it. So for them I told them (I know but they are still young and learning the concept, so I chose for them) they were giving up candy and as many sweets as possible (Ian's birthday is during Lent, I couldn't ask a 7 year old to give up his birthday cake for Lent). So, Ian and Lee and I were talking at the dinner table today about Lent and how we thought it was going, and of course they asked me how many more days it was until Easter. That question is being asked a lot right now. I was asking the boys how they thought Lent was going this year and what they thought about giving up candy for Lent and if it was hard what they were doing. Of course they said it was hard and they were VERY ready for it to be over...so I counted and there are 21 days left. We kept talking and they were really getting into what they would give up next year. Ian made me laugh, only my kid would take it one step further. He was throwing different things out there, just being silly. And he finally stops and looks at me and says 'Mom I got IT! I'm going to give up school for Lent next year!' He is such a goofball. Then he tells me that he's going to give up laughing and I just said 'you can't do it Ian.' So I test Ian and say 'Ian start right now,don't laugh!"...and the boy just busted out laughing and couldn't stop. Ian has such a contagious laugh and when he really gets going he's a hoot to listen too, you can't help but laugh with him.
Today was a good day for our family. It really does seem like sometimes that they are few and far between. And with Frank working so much lately, which is fine, it was nice to just sit and be as a family, even if we all weren't in the same room with each other. I feel at peace right now and just blessed. I hope everyone had a good weekend also.
Here is a picture I took two years ago at my grandparents garden. This flower just mesmerizes me. It is beautiful and I have no idea what kind of flower it is.

Crystal Light and Milk
Here is Oma again, putting Eli to sleep again...I don't think she'd had him very long and she had already put him to sleep. I asked if she would come and stay the night but she just laughed at me and said no. I don't know why though.
And on a side note...my mother made this quilt for my brother and his wife for their wedding gift. I absolutely LOVE this quilt, it is by far the coolest one yet I think. And I've seen quite a few of them in my life. She did a great job...those hearts are actually woven fabric, she wove it herself! My two bits of help was to put the red binding on the edge of the quilt and it sure turned out really nice. This day was a long time in coming and I know we all had a good time overall today. And my title comes from my lovely sister in law who is struggling with brain cells not working like they use to before getting pregnant. For the big dinner I asked them to bring some beverages and bread for dinner. So she promptly tells me well she can only have crystal light and milk. And it just made me laugh. Plus it's kinda silly...crystal light??? I told her to not worry about the milk that I had that, but that maybe she could bring Sparkling Cider too. So they did and it was yummy! But her comment has continually made laugh off and on since then.

I have a confession to make... I've never been a big fan of kale. I know it's all the rage right now, but I've always found it rather bitter and tough. So until recently it had been relegated to the 'eating-this-because-its-healthy' camp, as opposed to 'eating-this-because-it-tastes-good'. That was until this salad. With only 10 ingredients and 10 minutes to throw together, this uniquely fresh and creamy Waldorf Kale Salad has well and truly revitalised my relationship with kale, and is now a regular feature in our little family kitchen.
The inspiration for this recipe came whilst I was rustling through a bunch of old cookbooks one night. Out of the blue came a tartan durasealed 1B5 entitled "Home Economics", neatly decked out in cursive writing. Yes, my first ever cook book, from way back in 1992 at the ripe old age of 9 years old. Thanks mum for keeping this gem, it has some stellar recipes of all sorts, from macaroni cheese (which inspired this number a few weeks back), to how to make the perfect salad, to today's recipe – a modern kale-embracing, entirely egg-less, yet completely delicious take on the classic Waldorf Salad. You may never look at Waldorf the same way again!
My 9 year old self's recipe contained just four ingredients - celery, apple, walnuts and mayonnaise. Fate would have it that our fruit and vege box the past few weeks keeps presenting a dozen crisp and juicy braeburn apples along with a generous bunch of deep green kale leaves. We also recently added these deliciously crunchy NZ-grown walnuts to our online store. So here I'm thinking, why not mix them together and recreate that 80's Waldorf salad of old?!
Legend would have it that the Waldorf was first created in the 1890's at the Waldorf Hotel in New York, by the maître d' at the time. It was apparently a runaway success, and you can just imagine the ladies decked out in arm length gloves, dining on dainty fine china plates of "The Waldorf". The original recipe consisted simply of apple, celery and mayonnaise, with walnuts being a later addition. It then experienced a revival in the 80's, where it was slathered in way too much store-bought mayo. Which subsequently resulted in it being banished to the no go zone in the 90's, in part because most of us were avoiding fat like the plague, and because anything from the 80's wasn't cool until at least a decade later.
The Holy Kale?
So back to our kale. Whilst it can be tricky to work with, it does have a lot of nutritional benefits, as well as being in season right now and fairly easy to grow in your own garden. Kale is a member of the brassica or cruciferous family, alongside cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. It's relatively high in protein for a vege at 4.3%, contains good levels of fibre (over 40% of its carbohydrate content, which means they're not turned into sugar in the body but simply flushed through), and includes a number of phytonutrients (plant-nutrients) such as lutein and zeaxanthin which protect against eye degeneration.
It also contains excellent levels of vitamins K, A, C and folate with two cups of the leaves (that's one serving of this salad) providing you (assuming you're female) with over 370%, 130%, 85% and 11% respectively of your recommended daily intake. Vitamins A and K are fat soluble, so pairing the kale with our delicious egg-free Tahini Mayo and the walnuts means we're ensuring these valuable vitamins are absorbed. Vitamin K is needed for blood clotting and bone mineralisation; A is needed for growth, reproduction, cellular differentiation and immune function; C is one of the strongest antioxidants available, which reduces free radicals preventing them from causing damage to our cells; while folate is needed for DNA synthesis and cell division (especially important if you're pregnant).
The key with kale I've found is to prepare it well before adding your dressings and other ingredients. Massaging it with a mixture of oil, vinegar and salt helps to break down the rough texture of the leaves, making them soft, supple and ready for being laced with dressing. The hardy leaves also do best with a dense dressing, like this Tahini Mayonnaise, as opposed to a simple balsamic. Once you've made this Mayo you'll be wanting to drizzle it on everything– it's a wonderful egg and nut free version of regular mayonnaise, which is often highly processed, has preservatives and fillers added, is high in cholesterol, and can have a lot of added sugar.
If you don't like tahini, the mayo recipe works just as well with cashews, giving a more creamy rather than nutty result. Try both and see what you prefer – I couldn't decide as love them both!
So take a trip back to the 80's (or 1890's as the case may be), and reincarnate a classic with this Waldorf Kale Salad and egg-free Tahini Mayo. This salad is THE perfect dish to take to a potluck, it pairs brilliantly with everything, AND it won't wilt on the way in the car. In fact, I think this salad tastes even better on day two, once the dressing has had a chance to soak into the apple and kale. Alternatively, if you want to make this dish into a complete meal, simply toss through some cooked chickpeas and serve with toasted wholemeal pita breads on the side – voila. Autumnal salad goodness.
If you give this Waldorf Kale Salad a go, share your creation on Instagram with the tags @begoodorganics and #begoodorganics. Or leave me a comment below or over on Facebook. I'd love to see your version and hear what you think!
Til then, enjoy the rest of your Saturday. It's looking to be a stunner here in Auckland, so we're taking the last opportunity to pretend its summer and hitting the sand for some beach walks.
PS If you like this recipe, I'd love you to pin it on Pinterest, share it on Facebook or Twitter, or post it to Instagram. And if you're not already subscribed to my weekly recipe emails, make sure you do that here!

These light and fruity muffins use one of my favourite fruits – feijoas! If you're a feijoa fan you'll love these (and if not, come to NZ to try them). Best of all, they have no added sugar – just the natural sweetness of feijoas, coconut, dates, and vanilla.
With the days getting colder and shorter, it's time to bring out the roast veg! This wonderful winter salad is spiked with the warming flavours of turmeric, cumin & smoked paprika. Pre-heat your oven and get ready for some tasty roasties.

17 days post op TT/Lipo. When am I going to have a flat tummy?
Doctor Answers 4
Tummy Tuck Swelling
I know it is easier said than done to "be patient" but with the tummy tuck surgery it does take time for the swelling to completely ressolve. Generally around 6 moths you should see a good result post surgery. However, if you do feel that your abdomen is getting larger and does feel like much softer and feels almost like "jello" I would consult with your PS to ensure you have no fluid build up after your surgery.
Compression garments also do help control the swelling too! We recommend the "Marena Goup." ones online. And remember, you do also keep a healthy diet post surgery and once you are cleared to work out, exercise is important too to maintain the results!

It can take 6 months for the swelling that normally occurs with a TT to finally settle down. You, of course, are very early in the process. So, take heart, if you like the way you look right now, it's going to be much better by spring!
tHank you for your question. You are still very much in the post op process , swelling might occur up to 4-6 months after your procedure, so do not worry. It takes its time , just follow up well with your surgeon. Best of luck

Tummy Tuck - Post Op Swelling?
Thank you for your question. You should expect to have swelling for three to six months following tummy tuck surgery. Use of a properly fitted compression garment will help decrease the length and severity of the post-operative swelling. As the swelling decreases, the contour of your abdomen, flanks, and hips will dramatically improve. Please follow your plastic surgeons specific advice regarding your level of physical activity. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.
