dinner

after sleeping all day sunday because my blond headed bull dozer seeking son can't seem to sleep thru the night .. i thought that i would cook and bake for my family on monday .. after all .. i was at home .. alone .. which means that i have 2 options .. take a nap or bake and cook ... yes there was laundry to do .. especially since i slept all day sunday .. but laundry is not an option .. it is a must do .. so

nap or bake and cook ..

uummmmm ..

so i tried some new recipes .. PW makes a spicy slow cooked pork with dr pepper and ..

an entire can of chipotle peppers ..

see .. dump it all in there and cook at 350 for 6 hours or until the meat is so tender that when you take off the lid and come close to it with a fork it falls apart .. 

i love this kind of meal ..

pouring all the ingredients into a pan and putting in into the oven to cook .. this frees a person up to do other things .. such as nap .. or eat oreos .. or both 

then when it is done and you are ready to eat you send your husband and small children up the hill to help granny and grandpa plants trees and sit down and enjoy a quiet meal where you don't have to get up after you sit down 99 times to fetch whatever else it might be that the blond hair bull dozer seeking son might need ..

pile on the cheese i say 

and fresh cilantro and grape tomatoes .. 

now if i was really smart i would have had a bud light lime with this as well .. or a glass of wine .. but

1) we had soccer practice and i kinda wanted to go and take pictures and check out the other kids and meet the coaches .. after all it would be the only time that either of those could happen because

 a) i don't go to soccer practice .. i like to share my opinions about how other children that are not mine behave and b) the games are on saturdays .. we work on saturdays so granny and grandpa go the games to cheer on my brilliant athletic children

and

2) my wine frig is on the fritz so all my wine is in granny's frig up the hill .. and if i went up the hill i would have been discovered by my family and would not have gotten to eat in silence while sitting at the table for 10 minutes without having to get up 

so i had a diet coke .. and pretended like it was a bll .. kinda the same but not
