Big words for such a little girl.
August 12th, 2008Scarlet has been using some surprisingly big words lately!
Here are some of the things she can be heard saying:
“Daddia works at Probadence” (Providence)
“watermelon!”
“It’s very important”
“It’s my collection”
“I need a appetizer, mom!”
Her little toe is healing nicely–
she seems to have forgotten about it already.
Scarlet & I made cheese:)
August 11th, 2008Bring about 3/4 gallon whole milk to a SLOW boil (you want it to
slowly heat up over 30 minutes. I started on medium low and turned
it up a bit when necessary. After milk comes to a simmer/boil (be
careful not to scorch it!) Add the juice from one freshly squeezed
lemon. Stir and curds will form almost instantly. Pour through cheese
cloth and let cool until you can handle it and squeeze out excess
liquid. Add salt to taste and you’re done!
TA DA! You have cheese! It’s similar to a ricotta–It would work well
for a lasagna or sprinkled on a salad.
My baby’s toe
August 8th, 2008Yesterday Scarlet dropped a 15 lb weight on her big toe when we were at
Grandma’s house. It didn’t occur to me that she could pick it up! She only
weights 28 lbs herself! But I didn’t get to her in time and she dropped it
on her big toe. When she calmed down we decided to take her to immediate
care just in case. The lady who x-rayed her foot was not good with kids and
I wanted to punch her when she suggested I spank Scarlet for not staying still.
Scarlet was so scared about what was going to happen that she was
hysterical. When it was finally over the Dr. said he’d have an expert look
at her x-rays just in case but she would most likely be fine–He could
splint it but she would just rip it off. We just have to keep her barefoot for
a few days and try to keep her from irritating it as much as we can. She was
trying to walk on her tippy toes within hours the little stinker.
