I recently read in a magazine that a Souffle should be in every "home cooks repertoire." I accepted the challenge.


Faith is like my Cantaloupe Seeds. They are growing.

Come on Watermelon Seeds! You can grow too!

A conversation

Here's a little snippet from my life with TJ.

TJ: Did you say you wanted popcorn?

Deb: I don't want to eat anything else tonight unless it is a vegetable.

TJ: What part of corn isn't a vegetable?

TJ saunters into the kitchen and fiddles around with things while Deb gets the movie ready. Deb hears something happening in the kitchen so she inquires:

Deb: What are you doing?

TJ: Nothing

Deb walks into the kitchen to see TJ plopping cookie dough onto a cookie sheet

Deb: TJ...VEGETABLE...I said Vegetable.

TJ thinks for a moment, points to the cookie dough, and says:

TJ: Vegetable Oil.

The Big 24! And a rude awakening!

So, I've turned 24! Big Delio! Sophie woke up screaming at 5am today (NOT the rude awakening) and as I went to get her out of TJ's arms there were lights shining in and out of her bedroom window (Rude awakening). The first thought that came to my mind was "I'm not dreaming, and aliens DO exist" Because really, who would be driving their car in our backyard, flashing lights in all our windows at once and so on at 5am. So we looked out the window and what did we see? A helicopter searching for something, someone. So I sat down and started feeding Sophie and AGAIN, the search light scanned our back yard flashing it's brights into Sophie's bedroom window. CRAZY. So this helicopter circled overhead for a good 20-30 minutes, scanning our neighborhood. TJ and I decided that we ought to find out if we should be on the lookout for something so we called the station. The conversation went something like this:

TJ: Hi, how are you? (He's so gentlemen-like even at 5am). We got up to feed our daughter and noticed a helicopter's search light scanning our back yard, um are we safe?

Lady: Hold on a minute.

(Minute)

Lady: They're just looking for someone in your area. The officers will let you know if you have any need to worry.

TJ: Oh, okay. Um, thank you!

I am not joking. This was not a test, they were really looking for someone.

So, fast forward three hours, TJ and I wake up again, and I do a sun salutation while he runs to his lab and the store. I check the news online and there's nothing about a manhunt. NOTHING.


So, we forget about it. TJ made me some of the best French Toast (Pictured Above). And he proceeds to give me a couple more birthday presents (Pictured Below).



A cooking magazine and Essential Oils! Not to mention a new Living Room Set. I feel like I won on "The Price is Right." Because the prices were just SO right. We got some good bargains. A Drexel Armoire (Pictured Below) for 50 bones. And a couch and sofa for 50 bones too.

A cute pic of my hubby!

Just another reason to add to the list "Why I Heart TJ Bliss."

Hide and Go Seek

Sophie and I were playing with a teddy bear the other day when Sophie sat right up and asked to play a game of Hide and Go Seek. Thinking that this was way beyond her capacity at this age I was pretty reluctant, but I am always up for a good game so I agreed. Then she asked me to count to 100 and I knew something was brewin'. But still, I counted to 100 (I am very obedient) and when I went back to the room I couldn't find Sophie. Only a couple of bears. Can you help me find my Sophie?
