Twilight In The Afternoon

Today was thankfully uneventful. That makes for a short post ahead. I stayed up late last night watching Twilight. Good movie! The book was way better, but I always think that about books that are turned into movies. I’m eager to see New Moon now. I went to bed grateful that I didn’t have to set my alarm and woke up at 8:30. The kids decided to make me some oats which was very nice of them but I just couldn’t stomach it. They might as well have handed me a bowl of sugar. *shiver* I didn’t have the heart to tell them I couldn’t eat it so once they ate their breakfast and went downstairs I tossed it and made a quick bowl in the microwave.

• 2/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup oats
• cinnamon
• raisins
• almond & pumpkin butter

This was very tasty and the kids didn’t know the difference!

DS had more hockey training from 12-1 with Todd Harvey, an ex NHLer. They did some pretty cool session on fake ice. I took some really cool videos, but I can not for the life of me figure out how to post one. Every time I try to load one into WLW, I get an error. If anyone can help a girl out, I’d love to share! :D

We didn’t get home until 2 and I was starving! I grilled up some tofu and served it on a toasted Ezekiel 4:9 English muffin with lots of broccoli sprouts c/o Manon and some mango wasabi sauce. I also heated up some grilled peppers and onions from the other night.

Lunch dessert was 3 of Manon’s raw banana barely nut cookies;

These babies may be small, but they packed a wallop of flavour….and they’re sugar free! I loved’em!!

I made a cuppa joe and snuggled under a blanket downstairs to watch Twilight again. On the big screen this time. The kids had watched it this morning and I was amazed at how much DS retained. He must’ve enjoyed it more than DD because she passed out half way through. My hubby even watched it. He didn’t mind it but thought there should’ve been more fighting. Men. LOL!!

Seeing as lunch was late, I just made a quick pot of soup for dinner. I cooked up a chopped onion and carrot then added 4 cups of chicken stock and maybe 2 of water. About 5 minutes later I added 5 frozen tomatoes and a few handfuls of fresh spinach. Once the maters thawed I hit the brew up with my immersion blended to “hide” the veg. I brought that up to a boil and threw in some frozen turkey meat, 1/2 a can of lentils and 3 palmfuls of noodles. The finishing touch was some shredded mozzarella cheese;

Yum! We visited my parents after dinner then came home and watched The Amazing Race. I can’t believe the weekend has already come to an end. Definitely not ready for Monday morning!!

Bye for now!!
