As we make dinner tonight:
I informed Brian that the cornbread wouldn't be done at the same time as the Lemon Garlic Tilapia.
Brian: "I don't know why you insist on having these meals all timed out.... It's not like we're on Iron Chef or anything."

Things I've learned in the past week......
1. After you are done painting, clean up the mess immediately. Do NOT put the dirty painting supplies in the laundry sink and start the washer. One of the containers could, by chance, be blocking the drain. The end result is a soapy, paint tinted flood in the laundry room!
2. When cleaning the bathroom, it is a good idea to use the water from previous floor washings to reduce the water in the toilet....... but...... make sure you take the rag out of the bucket before you dump the water. The rag might just get sucked into the toilet. With any luck, the rag will pass right through to the sewer and not get stuck in any pipes.
3. Do not put BBQ sauce in the crockpot for 12 hours. Even if the last 4 are on warm.... it takes a week to get it clean.
4. Don't ask your husband if you have done anything else dumb in the last week..... he might just answer you!
Yes, it has been a very unlucky week. Nothing that could not be cleaned or fixed though :)

A fun weekend and sushi
This past weekend, my sister came to visit me, we had our monthly girls night, and I made sushi. It started on Saturday morning. I cleaned a bit as that had been lacking with the overtime that I have been putting in. Saturday late afternoon, my sister got to my house and we went to Stillwater to go on a boat ride. There were 7 of us girls in all and there was a wonderful buffet on the boat and we cruised on the river for a couple of hours. We then went to a local bar and had some wine.
The next day I made a new recipe, a vegetable frittata, went to church, primed the bathroom, and Stacy and I made sushi. This was my first time, but Stacy had made it before.

We cooked the rice and cut up the avacado, cucumber, crab meat, and smoked salmon. The local grocery store didn't have sushi grade fish and since it isn't recommended to just cut up a random hunk of fish, we stuck with smoked fish. At the state fair I had purchased this crazy guy's forms for sushi. They worked quite well. We made some heart and square shapes this time. He also gave me a crazy headband. I really don't know what it says.... It could say "I'm an idiot" for all I know. We then had a good time eating the sushi. Brian enjoyed it too. He didn't really like the large heart variety as well as the little square shaped ones. I would say I agree as I like my sushi bite sized.
