Your Dad and I had lunch today at a very authentic mexican place. anyway we think it was authentic. it was attached to a grocery store where the ads were in spanish, when we asked a question about the food the girl shrugged and pointed to the photos on the wall and we were the only non-mexican people in the place. the food was okay but the condiment bar was superb! fresh pico de gallo, lots of yummy stuff. we brought steven home something and he didn't eat it so i think i will go heat it up and eat it right now. sorry steven. he's having dinner out with some friends so probably won't care anyway. mom

A Request

I've been in the library for the last few hours (on a Saturday) studying property rights and bailments, so I'm getting kinda bored. But during the course of my arduous study, an idea came to me:
I'm getting kinda tired of these uber-gay backgrounds on this blog. Perhaps we could change it to something that could more accurately reflect the sexual orientation of the men in this family. Maybe, and this is just a thought, the background could be the girls from the SI swimsuit issue. That way, it could change from month to month too. I'm just getting a little tired of doilies and lace. Maybe cars, or pictures of exploding stuff, or the x's and o's version of the option out of an NFL playbook. I'm just trying to be fair.

Nice Sunny Day

The same week as the Mega Storm and temperatures in the low teens, today it's overcast but 72. Weird. Beginning of the week school is out due to snow, end of the week we're out in t-shirts wishing we'd pulled our short pants out of storage.

We went to the Prince William County Mother of Multiples sale in Manassas. It was crap, but we picked up a couple of things. The Loudoun County Mother of Multiples sale (usually not crap) is the end of the month so if anyone needs us to be on the lookout, let us know. Each time we've been we've walked out with NWT or near-new name brand stuff for pennies on the dollar.

Another stop on today's adventure was the Asian/International market. I've been on an Asian cooking kick lately, which seems to happen when I read books by Japanese author Haruki Murakami. Plus, we found this awesome little Korean place in Fairfax. It's too far to drive for dinner every day, so it's a special treat. I hoped to re-create the food so we can enjoy it in the comfort of our home. We had a nice bulgogi earlier this week which turned out to be respectable. Also had a great pork and green bean stir-fry with hoisin this week. Hmmm. Now I'm getting hungry.

Oh. The reason for the post: Check out the new pics at our website!

Mmmmm...tadpole soda...

While out running around this afternoon, we stumbled on yet another Asian/International SuperGrocery. We love shopping these stores 'cause they're just so darned exotic. The buy of the day was this soft drink...Basil seeds with Honey. Don't think we'll get the courage to taste it, but it looked cool. Like little tadpoles floating in Jell-O. I'm sure you're all jealous.

Outrageous Oreo Crunch Brownies

We haven't tried these yet, but I stumbled upon this recipe this morning and it looks delish. Of course, any recipe that begins with not one, but TWO sticks of butter can't be bad!

Check out the recipe at http://www.eatmedelicious.com/2009/02/outrageous-oreo-crunch-brownies.html and I look forward to the reviews!

Our pizza lunch!

We had a yummy pizza lunch today, and I just wanted to put some pics up. It's been a long time!

The "Mega Storm"

We're enjoying the snow from what the Weather Channel is calling a "mega storm" rolling up the East Coast. Temperatures this morning are around 30, and it's not expected to warm up much for a few days. With several inches of snow (reportedly as much as a foot in some areas) almost all local school districts are cancelled, including Loudoun County, so Nicole is getting to spend some quality time at home which Tierney and I are enjoying. Nicole thought it would be fun for Tierney to get bundled up in her snow suit and go out into the snow. It wasn't. :)
