I may be starting a new job next week, my first in 2 and a half years; LB has a check up today and shots (that outta be fun); A day care center has been selected (we can't enroll until after the boys shot record is up to date); My phone broke and a new one is on the way *thpt* and I cooked up something spectacular last night. But more on that in a minute.
LB came to a conclusion yesterday. A couple actually, one is that he no longer wants to take naps apparently, and the other came to him while I was doing dishes. My back was turned, I wasn't paying immediate attention to him, he decided the best way to get my attention was to remove his diaper, pee on the chair, and dance naked around the kitchen. *sigh* I just washed the cushions too.
Anyhoo... For dinner yesterday evening I just pulled a recipe off of the interwebz, Googlin' what I had: Cauliflower & Crab. So I made Cauliflower Crab Cakes. I don't have a camera because that broke, and since my phone also broke I had no way to take a picture of my pretties, so the photo below is from the website (several sites had identical ones actually, so this recipe has been around.. re-posted a million times without any actual original credit, so who knows where this came from... not that it is that frigg'n complex, really...). I skipped the celery since we didn't have any, but it wasn't missing anything without it. I added a little garlic in its place. And a couple tablespoons of breadcrumbs to help hold it together. Breaking 2 pounds of crab legs open and extracting the yummy insides left my fingers pruny, but it was worth it.
