Friday update

Alan coughed all day, but was high energy because I hydrated him with juice as a substitute for milk (big mistake! should have stayed with H20). He was into everything...closets, dishwasher, oven, cabinets, under the bed, etc...Then after dinner, we had the usual finale. You get the picture if you know Alan, and if you don't use your imagination...Unfortunately, we'll have to cancel our trip up to see Helen tomorrow, something I am disappointed about. I hope we can make Jace's birthday party on Sunday...It's not even officially winter yet, and already the cold/flu season is here.

I made a big pot of soup to mark the coming of the cold months. It was pretty awesome. I took one of Jamie's enchilada recipes and modified it into a blackbean soup: Saute onions, garlic and red peppers, add corn, black beans, enchilada sauce (green chile flavor is what I had in the house), pinapples, and cilantro. Season with cumin. I was very pleased with myself! (partly because I had all of these ingredients in the house, and that it was so tasty...plus it did NOT include parmesean or any wheat based/dairy product!)

Alan just jumped on my lap, wanting to watch a youtube video (John Denver - Inch by Inch/Garden Song)....so I am cutting this short...but before I do, here is an archived posting about this song I just recovered ....
