We are leaving our children with my parents (!) for three days next month to go to Santa Fe. First time EVER since the eldest (now almost 11) was born and I am working on not worrying about what my stepmother will think or say about said piles. Geez. As if she won't be busy looking after my fab kids!<br /><br />I love this spinach recipe -- the Japanese restaurant kind is addictive. Now I can indulge my spinach addictions at home! And you need to know that I have been waiting all week to make Toffee Crack Matzah but my job has gotten in the way. Tomorrow! It is, after all, still Pesach!<br /><br />xo from WVWV Mamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-17388459539452993452012-04-13T19:14:41.244-04:002012-04-13T19:14:41.244-04:00Fab blog Catherine.

I'll do it for you - we can split the proceeds...maybe 99% for you 1% for me because really I'd be doing it for my own self anyway :) I LOVE your blog. Sad that baby no.3 didn't make it into this world - it would have been one lucky duck :) cJulieAWayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770439806329984329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-37416306096095972922012-04-13T11:43:21.414-04:002012-04-13T11:43:21.414-04:00I admit being intimidated by the spinach ball reci...I admit being intimidated by the spinach ball recipe, so I'm eager to try this version. I have to agree with the other posters that your comment about teetering piles of crap made me sigh with relief. Thanks for admitting your house is not always spotless. Even if it is, thanks for making me think it's not! <br />Lentils came up at with friends the other day, and my husband starts going on about the lentil soup recipe you shared with the drizzle of balsamic at the end, and I reminded him that it was a Catherine Newman. You're a brand at our house! <br />If ever you compile your recipes for a book, what about organizing it by mood or season or by main ingredient? It would be my go-to gift for anyone with a kitchen. Especially if your stories are included.lastdogzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002382627081976712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-1777109733273822022012-04-12T14:34:38.803-04:002012-04-12T14:34:38.803-04:00last night's dinner for me: this spinach, the ...last night's dinner for me: this spinach, the maple lemon tofu, rice and corn = awesomenessErin K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-30609528523121476912012-04-11T17:10:30.385-04:002012-04-11T17:10:30.385-04:00Three things...1) "...so don't get all Bo...Three things...1) "...so don't get all Bonnie Bell on me." 2) "...at least until I look at all the teetering piles of crap all over the place." and 3) "...those trucks that say A.

At least until I look at all the teetering piles of crap all over the place." Can I just say thank you for being real? I just got finished looking at all these homeschool blogs and they're all so perfect, with clean houses, happy children, and ten thousand activities to teach the letter B. I start feeling like the whole world is either full of over-achievers, or I'm an underachiever, or both, and then like I want to go live in a shack by a pond. But, happily, visiting your blog instills hope that the world is both beautiful and real.
