That'll Do News Donkey, That'll Do

I care as much about Hillary Clinton's emails as I do about legalizing pot.

One bores me to tears and the other makes me eat too many Doritos.

And neither one affects my life at all right now so I am about sick of hearing about both on the news every single day!  

Enough already!  Let's talk about something new, like the weather!

Danger: Costco

Aside from, oh I don't know, Fallujah and the Gaza Strip, Costco has got to be the most dangerous place on Earth.

I recently became a member.  Which takes my number of memberships to up to 2.  (The first is Winnie's Burger Tavern here in Wilmington.  And to become a member there you pretty much just have to check the box "yes" for "Do you like to play pool?").  I'm basically an elitist.

 

Anyway, I always go in with great intentions.  Then I always come out with 2 pounds of strawberries and 500 vitamins I didn't meant to buy.

I guess this makes me nouveau Coscto riche.  I hope I don't accidentally start buying gold chains from the jewelry counter on an innocent trip for 100 bagels.

The struggle is real.

Thought of the Day (b/c there is only one)

Since I pretty much only have about one thought a day these days, due to baby induced fatigue and stupidity, I decided to share a few so my lil' blog doesn't just shrivel up and die.

 

Today's thought:

 

Romance to me is someone doing something without being asked.  Christian Grey can have his whips and chains and cars and planes.  If my husband simply wiped off the kitchen counter after dinner without being asked, I would think that I was in the middle of a Kay Jewelers commercial.

Speaking of Lux Life...

We got a tax bill today for my husband's vehicle, which is an almost 20 year old pick up truck that somehow has cellulite above the tires, and the appraised value for the car was a whopping $400.00

While I'm happy for the low tax bill, I can't help but suddenly feel like I have hoopty in my drive way.

 

Dolla. Dolla. Bills. Y'all.

My Lux Life

You know you lead a glamorous life when all you ask your husband for for your Birthday is to fully detail your kid's highchair.

But it's so hard to keep clean.  And it's alllll that I want.

Northshore Slaw

My mother in law gave me this recipe from her friend and it is SO GOOD!  It's easy to make, goes with basically any protein, and is pretty healthy aside from the sugar which you could probably omit.

Northshore  Slaw     

(double it for a crowd)

1 pkg. Broccoli slaw  mix   

4 Tbs. red onion or  scallions

3 Tbs. pine nuts

1 Tbs. sesame seeds

1/2 c. slivered almonds

1 c. coarsely chopped  pecans

1 pkg. chicken ramen  noodles

2-4 Tbs. sugar

1/2 c. oil (peanut)

3 Tbs. red wine vinegar

4 cloves of garlic finely  chopped

1/2 tsp. sal t

1/2 tsp. pepper

 

Toast seeds, nuts and ramen noodles at  325 until lightly brown (10-15 min.)

Add broccoli slaw

 

Mix dressing--oil, sugar, opinions,  garlic, vinegar, pepper, salt and packet of chicken seasonings from  noodles. 

Mix in with slaw.

 

*You can add small florets of  broccoli, cauliflower and red bell peppers.

Enjoy!!
