Future MLB player?

Payton's new favorite sport....baseball! (mike is very proud.. :) )

Mowing the sidewalk

On Thursday and Friday, we enjoyed a reprieve from the bitter cold. We took advantage of the high 60's temperature by spending some time outside. Here is one of Payton's favorite outdoor toys. After some more time on the slide and swing, we had to fight to drag him inside.

Singing

Payton, recently started to sing. Granted, he's off tune, hums/mumbles alot, and usually only emphasizes the last word of each line in a song. Of course, we still think he is the most talented 2 year old in the world. See for yourself! :)




Did you also notice, he is trying not to look at the camera? I guess he won't be the next american idol...

Quick Kalbi

One of the cons (or pro, I guess, depending on how you look at it) of living in a suburb, Faaaarrr away from the "city" is that you don't live near any cheap, good asian restaurants...as such, whenever we have the desire to eat asian (which is quite often!), i now have to learn to make it!

Currently, one of my favorite quick meals is to make Kalbi (korean ribs) using Mr. Yoshida's sauce. For sure you can get this from Sam's (not sure if you can get it anywhere else).

Just pour on ribs and add the following if you want to, minced garlic (from a jar), green onions, and sesame seeds. Marinate overnight and pan fry or grill the next day. I've had lots of kalbi over the years and honestly, this version tastes just as good as from a restaurant or made from scratch, and most importantly, it's so easy!


I'm always on the lookout for delicious, easy recipes (esp with Payton always wanting to "help mommy" in the kitchen. Please share with me if you have any! :)
