You're up early, Nancy. I'm working on Broccoli Souffle, which is what we had for dinner tonight; together with Pumpkin soup starter, crusty bread and a green salad.

3.30 am???
I would need to have coffee inserted intravenously at that hour!Pictures are loading up in photobucket right now. I should have text and pictures compiled in the next 20 - 30 minutes.
I'm back to work tomorrow; so we're back to scrappy mid-week meals. I do miss the cooking; but I think having the break from the kitchen gives me the incentive to cook at the weekends.

I'm Lindsay, 32 years old, live in Tennessee, and am married to Scott 
Today I am making tacos. Tacos are one of my comfort foods and I really need some right now, lol.
Ok, WFD Moms, I need some advice!
My nephew is turning 5 this week. He will be starting kindergarten next month. This boy his nose-deep in electronics. An ipod touch he can't live without (which is his mom's), a Leapster (at least he's learning something), and while at home, a Wii (which is also his mom's, but it's unrealistic to think a 4-year-old is going to consider that not "his"), and tv shows on the Roku (the child runs into my house and heads straight for my Roku remote; mean Aunt Kitty has started putting it away before he comes over) This kid lives and dies by electronic devices. It's not his fault, though. His parents (it's Kevin, Scott's brother and his wife) use them as baby-sitting tools and always have.
Anyway, I am wanting to get this child some books for his birthday. You know, books? Ones with a hard cover and pages in between? (Sorry for the sarcasm) I need some advice on what's appropriate for that age? I know nothing as far as that goes. Also, the best place to buy them. They told me when I asked about his birthday to get him a gift card for his Leapster or a gift card to Amazon.com so they can download shows for him for the Roku. I don't know. This just really bothered me. I never see him with any books and they don't really read to him. At the very least, it's something I can do when he's with me, you know? I will swear I am the reader I am today because my mom read to me and really encouraged me to read. I would like to be the same encouragement.
Any and all help would be appreciated!

Lindsay MR A had a leappad (I think that was it called) the book slides into it and the child uses a pen to help him read. It can spell out the words too. I loved it. Toysus has a big selection. I start A out on reading very early. I even read to him while I was still pregnant with him. I read somewhere that it stimulates their brains. There is even a great globe that tells them all kinds of interesting facts. I am not sure on the budget though. Have fun shopping.
Last night we had really tasty burgers. Not sure about dinner yet. I am stilling working on the coffee.
Goofyluver I forgot to introduce myself I'm Janice mom to Mr A We live in a suburb of Chicago. I have grocery stores within 5 minutes of me, but when the mood or taste strikes I travel for food. Food is a strong memory maker. Welcome to our home away from home.
Princess You are a welcome family member also
Your pictures along with Becky's and Aimee's raise the dinner bar.

Lindsay - How much do you want to spend?
At this age, we were reading the Magic Treehouse series of books to him. These books are written by Mary Pope Osborne and we stopped getting them after book #40 because my son moved on to other books. I don't even know what number books she's up to...but she regularly churns a new story out.
We liked this series because there were so many books in the series, it followed the adventures of Jack and his sister Annie into different historic events (and eventually into fantasy through Arthurian legend). With each book, MPO took Jack and Annie into a different period and weaved in at least 6 facts of that period into the books.
The books aren't very long, there are about 10 chapters in each book and there are some pictures (not a lot) drawn into the books. It was also a good bridging series of books to move out of the toddler range and into longer chapter books.
My son is also a square-eyed kid. Not because we used the electronic babysitter but because that is where his interest lies.....I would prefer him to be playing some sort of Olympic sport and dragged him to every possible sporting activity under the sun.....but he's more interested in the screens than anything else. After 10 years, I think I've finally reconciled myself to this fact rather than forcing him into something he's not interested in.
These books were a god-send! He loved the stories and they were short enough that you could read them over two nights or in two sessions. Plus he learnt facts about different periods of history as well.
Books are infinitely cheaper in the US than over here....and we're in the fortunate position of being able to buy the books in the US. DH works for an IT company and travels to Silicon Valley about 3 times a year. So, we were buying the books from either Borders or Barnes and Noble. They do sell the books in a set of 4; if you were looking to buy some as a gift.
The other option is to get comic books; like Tin Tin or Asterix. Your nephew may like looking at the pictures and you can read the words in the bubbles. I also used these as a means of getting my son interested in reading. Comics are fabulous because they have that visual stimulus and are jammed packed with action and words!!
Tin Tin and Asterix are great - not too scary and not more gore in them.
And yes...for a boy that was soooo interested in all things electronic, my son now loves to read. It's been fascinating to watch the change and I'm delighted with it. We've pretty much gotten books in line with his interests....even purchasing Pokemon related stories and now getting into Karate books (and those very old-fashioned Enid Blyton books because he liked the stories!).

Broccoli Souffle
My starting ingredients:
Pre-heat oven to 160 C.
You can use the broccoli stem in this recipe. Peel the bark off the stems and chop it up into bite-sized pieces.
NOTE: I have substituted broccoli with asparagus. It worked just as well.
Melt the butter and cook the flour for about one minute.
Slowly blend in the milk, stirring continuously so that the mixture remains smooth.
Cook on a medium/low heat until the mixture thickens. Depending on how the cooking goes, I occasionally remove the mixture off the heat and keep stirring; before putting it back on the stove to cook some more. I like to thicken the roué to this consistency.
Remove from heat and add the cheese, mustard, cinnamon, salt and pepper. There should be sufficient heat in the roué to melt the cheese. If not, place it back on the stove for a minute or so. Stir to mix through.
Gradually blend in the egg yolks.
NOTE: You are meant to add the yolks one at a time .
Add the broccoli and mix in. Leave to one side to cool.
Beat the egg whites until firm peaks form.
Fold in about ¼ of the beaten egg whites .
.and fold in well.
Add the rest of the egg whites ..
..and gently fold in the mix.
Pour into a lightly buttered soufflé dish or a casserole dish.
Bake for about 45 60 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Serve immediately.
My dinner!
My starting ingredients:
- Broccoli, 1 medium sized head chopped to bite sized pieces
- Butter, 25 50 g
- Plain flour, 1 2 tablespoon (about the same quantity as the butter)
- Eggs, 3
- Milk, ½ to ¾ cup
- Cheese, ½ to ¾ cup grated
- Seeded mustard, 1 tablespoon
- Cinnamon, 1 teaspoon
- Salt and Pepper, to taste

I'm Michelle, live in the boonies of central MA, married to Mike and have a 4 year old Zach. We love food too and since we have to drive at least an hour to get anywhere decent think nothing of a drive for good food.
Lindsay, Zach just got something called a Tag Jr. It sounds similar in concept to what Janice was talking about. Its a thick pen and you can buy books to go with it (real books!) and when you run the pen over the words it will read them. Its a great way to practice reading and might have enough electronics to keep your nephew's interest. I do agree that encouraging reading is so important!
We're getting a havanese puppy. Its related to the maltese/bichon family. His name is Fenway and I really am excited to have something itty-bitty to love on.
After I drop Zach off at camp I'm making the trek to whole foods to actually get food in the house. The grocery stores in our immediate area are not very good. Dinner will be whatever looks good to me there.

Lindsay- I have to say that electronic readers are not bad. I think that encouraging children to read using whatever method works is worth the effort. With that said I would take a different approach then just giving him books for his birthday. Give him a Barnes and Noble gift card along with a "date" to take him shopping for books. Marisa loved going to the book store and always took Kady with her. One day near Christmas time she was in her car-seat as we were running errands and asked if I would take her to Barn Snowball. Hmmmmmm Barn Snowball??????????? Oh Barnes and Noble!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes indeedy! We started a Nana/Kady tradition of stopping in and shopping for a book that day.
I have found that children love to examine their books before buying them and that the sales folks will steer you towards the appropriate books for that child. Once you and he have chosen his books give him a special place in your home to keep them and make sure that he knows that you and he will spend special time curled up, just the two of you reading his books. You will be surprised how fast he wants books over TV and will look forward to that time that no one else shares with you. Good Luck!

Good morning! I have no photos from the weekend. I just forgot to take any! I will try and be better this week.
Tonight I have to make something with summer squash/zucchini. Does anyone have a really good recipe that uses a LOT of zucchini?
Welcome to our new posters!
Glynis, have a great vacation!

I'll be the newby!
Wait...there's not any sort of required hazing is there?
Have fun on your vacation Glynis! I see you have a teenager too. It's a new world!
We're about an hour and a half south of you in the hill country. We'll be in your area this weekend though...well, Grapevine. We're going to do a weekend at Great Wolf Lodge to escape this heat! It's insane, isn't it!
Welcome! I am Marilyn, you can call me Merle. I live with my DM. While I do not have kids of my own I do have quite a few other peoples children I claim as mine.Two neices and three godsons who live close as well as three nephews who live in other parts of the US.
Dinner tonight was cheese and crackers, coffee and ice cream. We had crabs for lunch and then I took a nap.
Went to the festival Saturday night, we just hung out and watched the bands since we really didn't have anything else to do. It was hotter than Hades out there but we had a great turnout.
Got up early Sunday morning and went to the farm to pick tomatoes. Picked 20lbs of regular tomatoes and almost 5 lbs of grape and cherry tomatoes. Also picked up 3 onions off of the onion bed. People will pick things then when they don't like the size of it will just throw it on the ground.
Then I stopped at the barn and bought a whole bunch of squash. Going to make a huge pan of roasted squash, onions and cherry tomatoes for dinner tomorrow night and have them with chicken.
After so much time in the sun I passed out and took a nice 3 hour nap after eating crabs today, finally beginning to feel sleepy enough to go to sleep.
I am a tomato person, so reading your post is making me both hungry and jealous! I always say I've never met a tomato I didn't like.
I'm Lindsay, 32 years old, live in Tennessee, and am married to Scott
Today I am making tacos. Tacos are one of my comfort foods and I really need some right now, lol.
Tacos are our #1 comfort food. Our kid came to us the other day offering to make some he was craving them so badly.
Thanks Janice.
There's not going to be a quiz on names, is there? It's gonna take me a while!
Good luck with the puppy. And I love the name!
Whole Foods...
I agree with this, Lindsay. J (my son) used to love to go to the bookstores and get his hands on the books. It'll make your gift that much more special!
~~~~~~~~~
We're busy during the day today, so tonight is an easy dinner...sloppy joe's with sweet potato fries. I am wanting to make some sort of dipping sauce for the fries though, I'll see if I can't find something good.
Today we start the journey in braces with J. And the first payment is due on this investment for his teeth!
I decided that today would be an easy cooking day after the hit to the pocketbook. 
Enjoy your day, everyone!

Wow! I had to google! I didn't realise that golden syrup was something of a rarity in the US!
Golden syrup is like a mix between corn syrup and maple syrup except it is much more viscous than either. It tastes like a caramel/butterscotch version of a less sweet honey. I used to love
I found out that golden syrup is used in Cajun cooking and is rather expensive in the US because of the sugar taxes on imports. Apparently you can get it a specialty cooking stores in most states....just expensive.
I looked it up just now, didn't think of that before. They do carry it at one of the higher end grocery stores here. Might have to try that out.
Looked it up and Wegman's has it.
We are the same way. My sister eats them like you would an apple. Just salts them up and bites into it. Funny thing is her oldest hates "raw" tomatoes, not sure what's wrong with that kid.

I love golden syrup!!! I can get it in my grocery store here, if I want to sell a child (or a vital organ!). Still, I sometimes get a can to make treacle tarts.

Ok, WFD Moms, I need some advice!
My nephew is turning 5 this week. He will be starting kindergarten next month. This boy his nose-deep in electronics. An ipod touch he can't live without (which is his mom's), a Leapster (at least he's learning something), and while at home, a Wii (which is also his mom's, but it's unrealistic to think a 4-year-old is going to consider that not "his"), and tv shows on the Roku (the child runs into my house and heads straight for my Roku remote; mean Aunt Kitty has started putting it away before he comes over) This kid lives and dies by electronic devices. It's not his fault, though. His parents (it's Kevin, Scott's brother and his wife) use them as baby-sitting tools and always have.
Anyway, I am wanting to get this child some books for his birthday. You know, books? Ones with a hard cover and pages in between? (Sorry for the sarcasm) I need some advice on what's appropriate for that age? I know nothing as far as that goes. Also, the best place to buy them. They told me when I asked about his birthday to get him a gift card for his Leapster or a gift card to Amazon.com so they can download shows for him for the Roku. I don't know. This just really bothered me. I never see him with any books and they don't really read to him. At the very least, it's something I can do when he's with me, you know? I will swear I am the reader I am today because my mom read to me and really encouraged me to read. I would like to be the same encouragement.
Any and all help would be appreciated!
If he's never had any exposure to books, yet, I'd start with some Dr. Seuss. Even my 14 year old still loves to have Green Eggs and Ham read to her. My kids also liked One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, and the Bedtime Book. The Cat in the Hat is always good, as well.
For a bit of a stretch, try the Magic Treehouse series. These are fast-paced and really hold a child's interest. There's another series that's similar to these but based on dinosaurs. I bought them for Jacob, but can't for the life of me remember what they are called. I'll find them and let you know.
The biggest help you can do, right now, is read out loud to him every chance you get. If he reads, or is read to for at least 30 minutes a day, it will help him immensely! I've been doing it with my kids since they were tiny, and they still love reading time. This week, in the car, we'll be reading "Summer of the Monkeys", and "Where the Red Fern Grows", if I can get through it without bawling! When you read out loud, you can read books that are one or 2 grade levels above the child. We can comprehend things easier when listening, than when reading.

Hi everyone................I'm back!!!
And the good ole U S of A - never looked so good. We had a wonderful time, did some good for the village, made some great new friends and survived another year.
I need to catch up here at work so I can't read back right now, but I will. Give me a couple of days and I will be caught up. But I wanted/needed to pop in and say hi!! I missed you all terribly!!
I have no idea what will be for Dinner tonight, I need to go to the grocery store - BUT I can guarantee you, it will not be anything with rice or chicken....... just saying.
Make it a great day my dear friends.

This is HUGE! You have to tap into their interests! Lindsay, maybe you could take him to the library and show him how many books there are out there! Find out when the children's librarian is doing story time, and take him to listen. Ask the librarian for help finding something that he would like. See if it's possible for him to get his own library card. That's something that really helped my non-readers! They had ownership of the library card!
Wait...there's not any sort of required hazing is there?
Have fun on your vacation Glynis! I see you have a teenager too. It's a new world!
No hazing here! Just a bunch of ladies who enjoy chatting and occasionally swapping a recipe!!!
Yes, I have a teenager. At this point, I think I'd be happy to swap her with a boy! We are dealing with the hormones at "this time of the month." At least the surly, uncooperative stage will be over before we hit Disneyland!
Alan just left with all 5 kids. He's taking them to a local waterpark so I can pack for both trips. I'm not looking forward to the packing, but I'm loving the peace and quiet! I thought I was going to have to keep Timothy, but they decided to take him! Hooray!!!
Dinner will be something fast and easy! We have a rodeo to go to tonight!!!

Becky- I bought a zucchini ook so I have a lot of recipes to share depending on what you like. I have not tried them yet but there is fritata, relish, pickles,
casseroles, etc
I usually just make a spaghetti sauce and chunk upgreen and yellow squash, along with carrot and call it a day. The squash keeps its texture even after you freeze it.
