holy guacamole we got chips



I guess it's been awhile. We have just been enjoying spring, spending as much time outside as we can. During naps I've been doing some sewing, I'll try to get some pictures posted soon.

Hill Billy Racer



I found this bike on craigslist for $820.00. Maybe it's just me but I find this rocking chair seat to be confusing and hilarious. I think I would run into a pole if I saw someone riding this bike.

bbq lunch

we have been making this awesome bbq in our crock pot almost every saturday.

onion
garlic
a couple leafs of chard or spinach, chopped (stems too)
meat (pork, chicken)
a few teaspoons liquid smoke
a few tablespoons bbq sauce
some tabasco
salt and pepper

put all ingredients in crock pot before you go to sleep. when you wake up drain off the sauce/fat and set aside. mix the bbq with some bbq sauce.

with the fat, sauce mix you can skim off the fat and throw and use the gelatin stuff underneath in a risotto.

for the bun.

1 1/2 cup flour
a little yeast
about 1/2 teaspoon salt
a few tablespoons fat (we use lard) melted in some water, let cool until warm.

mix ingredients in bowl. your dough should be shaggy but not soupy. If you think you added to much water add more flour.
put a plate or towel on top of your bowl and put the dough on top of your refrigerator overnight. when you wake up preheat your oven to 400 F. knead out the dough a little on a floured surface just until the dough doesn't stick anymore. divide your dough into 4 balls and make a disk out of each one. don't worry if they look flat. put the disks on an oiled baking sheet and put a towel over them and let rest for 30 minutes. bake for 20 minutes.
when it's lunch time, if you can wait that long, put some dijon on your bread and add bbq. I like to put onions and cheese on top too. :)

I love the flight of the conchords. The new season is good so far but nothing like previous seasons. This video makes me laugh.

Birthday

Finally, here are some pictures of the kids. We went to the children's museum for their birthday. Cousins, aunts, and friends were there to help celebrate. We had lots of fun and kids were sleeping before we got to the car.
