I couldn’t be bored if I tried
Jude’s ability to fly under radar is the picture of stealth. He can empty and strow as if having entered a time warp – the power of Hiro Nakamura.
Last week, on an unplanned stop to my mother-in-law’s, he ate about 12 Claritin like they were tic-tacs. They turned out to be non-toxic. He has downed a half bottle of Ibuprofen and begged for more.
Above is the Allspice (I bought so I could make these babies) dumped all over the icky cans I had just brought home from the grocery store. Juders, you’ve got mad ninja skills, and I appreciate you.

Girls, season up those skillets and set out for the buttermilk. Tomorrow, I post my mad cornbread making skills.

January 10, 2009Not to compare your sweet child to a dog, but we had a dog who seemed to have a death wish with all the eating. He ate a whole bunch of Aleve and a tax form before locking himself in the bathroom and attacking a bottle of Tums. Three days at the vet for that one. Another time, he ate an entire bag of Hershey kisses, foil and all. Made quite an impressive aluminum foil ball in the backyard.

January 10, 2009Oh, man! Please tell me you were you able to scrape together enough allspice for the pumpkin bread/muffins?
Hope so, but you'd better believe I'm coming back for some cornbread instructions. I have a decent recipe, but I could use some pointers.
In fact, I was going to whip some together tonight to accompany the bean-n-kale soup, but my daughter said, "Um, Mom, don't you think it's a little late to be starting cornbread muffins?"
She was right. I ate it with saltines, instead.
Which, as you know, is hardly the same experience as soup and cornbread.
