Cooking etc.

Random thoughts:

You know, it is generally a good idea to take the extra rack out before you preheat the oven.

I've been wandering around all morning looking for the new Alton Brown book I bought this weekend....no luck. Just noticed that J's math textbook -- which is roughly the same shape, also has a green cover, and which he is supposed to take to school every day -- is sitting on his desk. That boy. I'll kill him if my book gets trashed.... except how can I, when he clearly inherited his organizational abilities (or lack thereof) from me?

Forget seedless watermelons. When will someone develop a seedless pumpkin?

I am cooking pumpkin today because K (my six-year-old) decided to see how far he could throw one yesterday. When he does things like this, I just want to trade him for Darren Baker and a child to be named later.

Today the pumpkin gets cooked, tomorrow the pumpkin-date bread. Anybody want some?

You think you had a bad day....

J had a really bad day. His bike got stolen, He was really late getting home because he had to pick up the gift wrap, etc. from the school fundraiser. On the way home, he dropped the bag of items and his best friend accidentally rode his bike over it, breaking two, possibly three things, meaning he will have to refund someone's money. His mom grounded him for not calling to say he would be late (although she later relented.) His mom (the bitch) also made him pull himself together enough to go deliver the neighbors' gift wrap on the grounds that the longer it stayed in the house the more chance his brothers would have to trash it. (Fortunately, the broken items belonged to someone at church, so that doesn't have to be faced until next weekend).
