Adventure: 1002
Where: Bayfront Park, Duluth

Next adventure planned: Day with Baby Lily, Spending the night at Nana's

Description of adventure: Wednesday Night At The Races! Its that time of the year again where Grandman's Marathon sponsers races for kids. If you can recall Hayden may have had some issues running before. But not this year! He kicked butt! He was rearing to go and got 6th place! With a time of 1 Minute 40 Seconds for an eighth mile. It was Hot, they usually do a quarter. Daddy ran with him and almost beat him, good thing Hayden passed him at the last moment.

Favorite memories: Giving everybody highfives as Hayden ran down the chute. Standing so proud of his ribbon he received.

Adventure #1001

Place: Home
When: Summer 2008
What: Learning To Cook

This summer I have learned that I like to cook and can cook. I have found love in a few blogs that have tips and advice on how to save money, feed a family and great recipes. I found I love Cumin, so, so yummy! It has a very nice smokey flavor. I told Jason I am going to put it in pancakes now too!

A Great place to look for recipes is Recipezaar. You can look for recipes through ingredients, recipes and members, plus lots more. My favorite recipes so far are Oven Fried Chimichangas, they are so delicious! I used fresh Cilantro and Green Enchilada sauce and garlic. These were so good. Another great recipe was Baby Red Salt Potatoes. I made these for a little party i had and everyone loved them. We also had some not so good recipes like this one. Today I am making This and This. I will let you know how they go!

Any favorite recipes? Let me know!

**Update** 10:10 pm
My supper turned out pretty darn well. I served my carnitas on a warm tortilla, cheddar cheese, and lettuce. I also decided to make homemade spanish rice, that was very good too. The only thing was the Carnitas was it needed SALT! I also didn't make the Oatmeal Cream Pies, soon! I made Candycoated Puffcorn. We had this at Relay for Life and it was very yummy! I couldn't find a recipe but just melted a package of Vanilla Almond Bark in the Microwave with a little shortening and then dumped the whole bag of puffcorn into a paperbag and then drizzled the melted almond bark on top and then I shook it.
