Postus Interuptus

Today’s post is short.

It’s my birthday. I’m off playing and enjoying my day.

Hope your day is wonderful and your weekend is fantastic.

See you next week.

The Grilling Season has begun

The weather is warm, the garden is blooming, so we’re outside grilling.

Last night we had grilled chicken thighs and grilled veggie packets.

The Grill Master.

I made veggie packets with mostly home grown veggies. My husband grilled them while he was grilling the chicken.

Grilled veggie packs are super easy.

Chop veggies. I used squash, zucchini, and onion.

Place the veggies on large pieces of tin foil.

Drizzle with olive oils and sprinkle with garlic salt.

Fold the foil into a packet and get grilling.

Make sure you poke a few vent holes in the foil.

Enjoy!

I like the semi-charred pieces best.

How do you grill your veggies?

My Tuesday Morning

The thing about birthdays is….sometimes you have to deal with issues like driver’s license renewal.

My birthday is Friday, and I’ve been procrastinating the trip to the Department of Public Safety. Now I’m just days away from my license being expired.

D’Oh!

So, this morning my husband took the kids to school, and I headed to the friendly DPS office.

My first obstacle….

I had the wrong address.

Lucky for me, the new address is on the door of the old location.

Off to the “New” location I went. It’s about 9am. Almost every seat in the place is full. About 25-30 people.
This was my view for the next hour.

Renewed license with an updated picture and a new restriction acquired.

I must now wear my glasses when I drive.

It’s okay, I already had prescription sunglasses.

Then I went to lunch and Starbucks with my husband.

How was your Tuesday?

I have Phun with iPhone Photos!

My kids ate Brussels Sprouts

ALLERT!
ALLERT!

This is NOT A DRILL.

Real vegetables have been consumed. I repeat. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

My kids are known for being picky vegetable eaters.

They gag at the thought of green beans, lament over the Lima beans, and bemoan their unluckiness at being fed beets and Brussels Sprouts.

It’s a tough thing for a garden growing, veggie loving Momma to deal with.

I’ve had my own issues with Brussels Sprouts, but I’d only ever eaten frozen Brussels Sprouts.

The Pioneer Woman has a recipe for roasted Brussels Sprouts with a balsamic glaze. They looked amazing.

They are amazing.

Everyone ate at least two. My husband and daughter really enjoyed them. The teen (our biggest veggie critic) thought it was “okay”.

I’m calling it a BIG WIN.

Next time I make this recipe I plan to decrease the balsamic glaze. By half.
It is tasty, but it’s a little too sweet for my husband.

Go….make kid approved Brussels Sprouts.

I double dog dare you.
