If you pronounce the above word as ‘PAY-la’, please find your nearest Spanish-speaking friend or relative for help. (Hint: 2 L’s = Y) If you already know what paella is and you’re looking for the best way to present the dish (or cook it), go find yourself a paella pan. While you’re at the site, also check out the variety of copper, ceramic, or even terra cotta dishes and cooking stuff. Very cool.

Proudly Paella
Thursday, December 4th, 2008My Daughter – The Silent Genius
Thursday, December 4th, 2008So my mom and dad were visiting for Thanksgiving and mom was looking through our photo album from a recent trip to Disneyland with my older kids and talking about the pictures. While they were talking about the La Brea Tar Pits, my youngest (a non-talker) tooled into the boys room and brought out a book — about dinosaurs. What a humorous coincidence we thought.
Then they were talking about our time at the beach and the pretty waves. The Young One left and came back with a Dora at the Beach book. Shock!! Surprise!! This could still be a coincidence.
Then they started talking about Disneyland. Young One left and came backwith a Cinderella book. No Way!! She didn’t even seem to be paying any attention to them talking about pictures and she didn’t go over to look at the pictures.
After that she brought out all the Winnie the Pooh books she could find.
It was really funny. (for us anyway)
Upack, unpack
Thursday, December 4th, 2008Even though it has been a full six months since we endured the blazing Arizona sun and moved across the state, we are still in full move mode because of the stacks of boxes that sit in the garage untouched by human hands. Maybe if we didn’t expend so much energy on packing and moving everything by ourselves, we would have had the energy to unpack everything months ago. We’re definitely using moving services next time.
Is this what RAIN looks like?
Thursday, December 4th, 2008The day before thanksgiving was the first time since we moved here that I saw decent rain. It’s been 5 months and, aside from some willowy drops, there’s been nothing. While I’ve been in town anyway. Of course I travel 50 miles to work each day and I image in that lots of things happen while I’m gone. Then again, it’s a REALLY small town (does 50,000 count as REALLY small?). There probably ISN’T that much going on
