Just like coming out of a salon

Busy time tonight! Freecycling, putting on new linens (mini splurge on clearance Overstock duvet and PB duvet cover/quilt from ebay), prepping pot roast, cleaning house, planning for Mardi Gras activities, gathering stuff for meetings, outreach phone calls, and more. Paul’s Mom arrives tomorrow… a day earlier than put on our family calendar. Not that it’s a big deal, we have a full open door policy. It is just a very busy week.

We’ve got so many balls in the air that we decided to let Kate feed herself tonight. Kate’s first table food! It’s potatoes from our Mexicali Stew (a wonderful recipe with beans, potatoes, tomatoes, and corn and seasoned with cocoa and chili). However, her bananas, plums, and rice made the biggest mess. I particularly liked how she used her food as a hair styling agent. Genius.
