Contest!

When we got back from Gus' art lessons at around 5:30, we made this very simple but tasty supper: carrot-potato soup (and almost finished up all those carrots we got in our organic fruit and veggie basket), biscuits, bean salad (made with the dried adzuki beans I picked up from Thoughtful Foods), and some oven-baked potato chips. It was all very tasty. Sometimes the simplest meals are also the tastiest.


Here's one of Gus' creations from art class (he also finished up a sculpture of a crane). He made it for me for mother's day. awwwwww! It's an aerial view of a love car, with a cannon that shoots out love arrows. I can't wait to post it up beside my desk in the post-grad room!


And, finally - a contest! Leave a comment (any comment) on this specific posting and on Saturday I'll randomly pick one person to win this assortment of Cadbury Koala Caramellos and Fredos. I'll get your address via e-mail and post it to you in the mail, wherever you are (although I can't guarantee that they won't arrive a little melty if I'm sending them to a different continent). Good Luck!

Wow! Are they special Australian candy confections?

I'd like to see a photo of Gus' crane sculpture!

Hey Dana!

Pick me! LOL

Way to go on the blogging - love reading what you are up to. I don't know about this Kath chick though... sounds a little too organized and cheery! :^) Must be related to the Fly Lady. *shiver*

I've been a bad blogger, not much printing going on lately but I am getting back to it. Really. I promise.

Take care!

Hey Mags: Oh yes - very special Australian confections!!! And, right now you have a 50/50 chance of winning them. Your odds are looking good!

GINA!!! So nice to hear from you! And I'm starting to agree with you: that Kath is much too organized and cheery.

As a frequent commenter on your blog, I have to throw my hat in the ring for melty candy. Also, while "bribe" is such an ugly word, a return address on a package to me would facilitate a parcel of bridgehead coffee making it's way to Australia...

I finally went and looked at Kath's blog. I should probably take back the snarky comment! LOL Great food shots, makes me want to eat healthy 'cause it all look so yummy.

The Fly Lady on the other hand... she's just wako. Go see. Even her website is nuts:

Love reading your entries, keep up the good work! Nice surprise but Vic with the ring-in-cake trick!
