Time to Wrap it up

Well a fine day, stuck at home.

Trying to keep a food journal to find a reason and rhyme for my stomach aches. But this is a pain, blogging on one hand and journaling on the other.

This is exhausting attempting to stay awake.- I am however awake by the intrigue of the new Iron chef series that is on.. the funny thing is that my girlfriend and I were watching it on the television while waiting for her boyfriend to stop playing World of Warcraft (this is a highly addictive role playing game on-line). So the secret ingredient is chocolate. We are fascinated, but not so much that we shouldn't go to sleep when we are tired. I let everyone out of the house..it is almost 1 am, and when I get to my room my little guy has the tv on Food Network, changer in his hand (typical boy) and Iron Chef on the final showing. You see it is not an accident that this crazy 6 year old is watching Food Network, he has been groomed by his nana and dad to watch this most of the time, when he is not watching Discovery- oh, the things they learn... this kid can cook better than me and although that is not a terribly hard challenge- I will tell you that with minimal help he can make cupcakes from scratch. I always believed that Duncan Hines was the only cupcake maker around..

So Funny- My little pooper...

Now if our nanny was around today she would be wondering what the heck was going on with our little girl's poop.. she just keeps it up- little nuggets! Which of course wouldn't mean much at all.. unless you believe the Skinny Bitches motto that rabbit crap is just not normal... what is normal anyways..

Singaporean Slaw

Does anyone want to know what other corruption caused me to fall off the Jesus boat and eat something deep-fried, or as I prefer to call it... slightly grazed over pure oil delight... This crazy Singaporean Slaw that we had at Susur Lee's restaurant. It truly was a piece of heaven. I am going to see if I can jack the recipe off the net somewhere...

If I am successful I will give it to my mom who can prepare, cook and create anything.. We like to use the term "so stolen", whenever we find something we would like to call our own.

ie... breadsticks wrapped in procuitto.... mmmmmm.... here's to my mom.

SO Brilliant- the SNOW that is..

So I decide with my unfailing ulcerative colitis that instead of remedying it the old fashioned way- via a doctors orders, I will just tinker with eating random things..so I am officially eliminating eating specific things- just about everything by the sounds of it. As of today (did I mention that I was at a loss for groceries?) I am not eating breads, pasta, dairy, caffeine and thanks to my DH - goat cheese, since he opened two packages and left them to rot into blue cheese. I also am trying very hard (only fell off for one, maybe two dishes) to not eat deep fried foods and pop. Did I report on my fabulous dinner at Susur Lee's restaurant on Monday night- where my mom was drooling for the matchstick potatos- they weren't fast food, probably not "deep-fried", but blissfully skimmed across some pure oil - to crisp them up- as they were a product of heaven- or so they seemed.
But, I have made a firm commitment to not eat any of the aforementioned foods - which won't be hard, since I have no groceries..
Back to my "problem"- seems that there really is no rule or rhyme to what causes this disease. But I will tell you that I am having quite a problem pinpointing the culprit/cure. You see as luck would have it- ironically I get this huge pain in the ass flare up last week- well maybe last month. Seems like I may die from it and have my mother say- I told you to see your specialist... but I don't I am just hoping for a miracle that it goes away. If that happens I can forget about it for another while.. until it re-visits and attacks again. Magically, I finish working on Sunday and go on a weeks holidays. This week off entails a trip to Toronto for a day and a half (two days if you ask my DH), and then 5 days with my kids, two days off school, two weekend days, and today- a SNOW day. Which for me is a blessing in disguise, because I can eat the kids up and relax. On the other hand, can be a nightmare. No groceries, no work to keep me busy and no hubby to leave while I run out...for a movie or dinner...
Sorry, rambling here, because someone wants to know how I am feeling. I hope. I get better!! Suffering for a month, and the flare up subsides when I stop working. But, the catch is I start to take my Mannatech supplies- and they are supposed to "cure" me according to my friend Tracey- which in her defence, they have been successful, yet all this could be coincidental. What do you make of this?

SNOW day!!

Stuck inside and having my 6 year old (boy!!) cleaning the kitchen floors is too funny. It all starts when I go into the kitchen and see that he has in fact made a drippy mess outside of the fridge. Looks like olive juice, which he loves and no one else would go near..so I call the little monkey who then cleans it up with a papertowel- unsuccessfully. I give him a bottle of Fantastic (he is not your average 6 year old and no he will not drink the Fantastic)- he gets to work. Now lunch is ready and the floors are amazing! I am telling you - having him home from school this morning has caught me up on my housework already..
He is great with laundry which is where we are heading next.
Just trying to plan a day out and see where it takes me.
First thing this morning (I had every intention of keeping my little guy home) but was out again, unsuccessfully plowing my drive way- which was a losing battle.
By 9:15 am I was resolved to the fact that I would be chilling out at home (I am so glad) with my two thinking of doing nothing.
However, I have just came across a small speed bump in my plan.
You see, I was out for the last couple of days in Toronto wining and dining myself and my mom. Came home to a empty pantry and two hungry kids - my husband seemed to have eaten and drank everything before he left for a golf trip last night. This sucks, he wasn't even around for me to yell about it. Used the last bit of milk last night (thank god) and now we are dry. The roads are devilish in my area- no plowing for days and I am too busy (obviously blogging) to shovel myself out -because really I could only get so far before I would be stuck in the road.
So soup for the kiddies and what will I find for myself. Was thinking originally of a scrumptuous chop salad. However, at this point all I have is the chop. Oh and some nasty meatless chicken. That was my kick last week- I was thinking about being a vegan. Clearly that was a bust...
