OMG Sodium!
While sitting at the breakfast table, eating biscuits with honey drizzled over them, N asked if the honey was real. Before I could even chime in, the oldest informed her that it wasn’t and that the honey was fake. Instead of correcting them, I asked how you make fake honey. No one really knew, so I pointed them to the ingredient list to see what was in fake honey. N started reading from the top of the nutrition label instead:
Calories: 60
Total fat: 0
Transfat: 0
Sodium: O-M-G (0 mg)
She then started giggling. “Oh my gosh,” she translated the zero milligrams to for us. Apparently even the honey is appalled at the idea of sodium in honey!
The week I burned my belly button….twice
The background: I’ve been cooking in this kitchen for a while now, I know where everything is, etc. Oh, and I’m short.
The build-up: On occasion one, I had a crockpot of beans going on the counter while I was cooking other things. On occasion, too, I had a pan of boiling water on the stove.
The “incident(s)”: For whatever reason, I tippy-toed to reach something on both instances. With the crockpot, I was using a glass lid on it because the original lid broke long ago. It was sticking out just enough that it lined up perfect with my belly button when I stretched to my max to grab something from the top shelf. A few days later when I reaching to the side and back of the stove to grab a far spoon, I did the same exact thing with the lid of a different pan. My reflexes weren’t as good that time either, as I actually ended up with a horizontal blister across the bottom portion of my belly button. :(
Moral of the story: Use a step stool and don’t lean over hot dishes. :(
May I have another Jessi please?
N: Are we going to the pet store?
B: Yeah, are we. We could get a dog, or a cat —
L: Or a kitten —
N: Or a bird —
L: No, a dog!
B: Nuh uh, birds are better.
Me: We’re not going to the pet store guys…
B: Oo, or we could get a Jessi.
N: Yeah, a Jessi, and then we’d have two.
B: Yeah! Then we could have one to cook the desserts
Me thinking: And another to do the rest of the cooking, cleaning, etc, but no…
B: And another one to cook more desserts!
N & L: Yeah, that’d be cool. Jinx!
They continued to talk about what kind of desserts each of the Jessis would make, what they’d request….and what they’d call the other Jessi, lol. It’s great to know that the girls would love to have two of me…if only for me cooking desserts!
And those are chicken nuggets you’d buy at a pet store. Chicken nugget sheep? Aren’t they cute? ;)
