I have had a ho-hum kind of week, I've been a little blah. But it is suppose to snow tomorrow and that always puts me in a good mood ( I know I'm weird). And it helps that tomorrow is Friday!!!!! Pineapple Upside Down Cake here I come.
Nothing all that exciting has happened this week either so that has added to my mood. Oh wait there is one thing... A BAT is living in our fireplace in our bedroom. Yeah I know!!!! By now you probably think I make up most of these stories but really who would make up a story about a BAT living in their bedroom. Seriously! I came home for lunch the other day and Quinnie met me at the door to tell me there was mouse. She said it keeps scratching. So the whole day we tried to see if we could find anything.. nothing. And then I was sitting in my chair watching TV and I look over to see a big brown thing in the fireplace squirming around, and upside down from what it looked like. C came down and covered up the fireplace so I wouldn't have to look at it. Oh thanks C.. you couldn't just "take care of it" really... whatever. So anyways I kept hearing scratching and I look over to see BAT WINGS! Huge wings with claws on the ends and FANGS... (okay slight exaggeration but they were really big teeth) UGH!!!!!!!!! Lou thinks it is the coolest thing ever, Buffalo is convinced it is just a fruit bat and Quinnie poo thinks it is her best friend. YUCK. This house is cursed! (okay again slight exaggeration but OMG.) I of course did not sleep a wink for fear of the thing landing in my hair, all thanks to Mom and her own bat stories. The next night C dosed me up with some night time sleepy stuff, I slept so well that the boys were a tad late to school and I was even more late getting to work. I still can't believe it. A bat! I so did not know what I was signing myself up for when I took my dream job. I know I know hindsight is 20/20.
Okay... so this week no pictures. Sorry. By the time I was ready to take a picture of my totally awesome dip... someone, I won't name names, C, had eaten everything. This is the easiest, yummiest dip ever. C refused to try it when he saw everything I put in it but then once he realized Quin was eating it up he decided he would try a bite and well he ate it up too! YUMMO.
Creamy Mexican Dip
1 C plain Fat Free yogurt, Greek (I didn't have Greek just regular yogurt and it tasted delicious)
1/2 C salsa, hot chipotle
3/4 C diced avocado
1/3 C chopped cilantro
1/4 C chopped red onion
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
Garnish: 1/4 C diced avocado, 1 tbsp. cilantro, 1 tbsp. red onion
In medium bowl stir together yogurt and salsa until blended. Stir in remaining ingredients (except garnish). Cover and refrigerate. Top with garnish when ready to serve.
I put this on tacos, just ate with chips, and tonight I had C's specialty, a burger, cheese, turkey bacon, fried egg and I used this dip instead of mustard and ketchup YUM!!!!
Enjoy! Oh yeah I started reading a new series of books. Totally a young adult series but I am entertained. I am already into the second book and I just got it last week at Library night. We missed Library night tonight because C didn't have to work and well he doesn't realize how fun the library can be. We have an AWESOME library here in K-town, totally pumped!
