lunch Pasta w/pesto

This afternoon flew by before realizing that my kids needed lunch. Some quick thinking led me to my go to plan B lunch , pasta with homemade pesto. It is yummy and quick , and my kids usually eat it all up before I get any. While I am boiling the pasta I go in the garden and get basil, parsley and mint. Fling them in a food processor with a garlic clove , salt, and pepper. Then, while leaving the processor running I add olive oil in a slow steady stream. Done. I drained the pasta tossed it with the pasta. Done. If I had some parm I would grate some. Oh well next time. I also should have added pine nuts but didn't have any. A few missing ingredients never stop me. I called the kids and as the descend the staircase they sniff the air, and exclaim, "pesto!" This should hold them for a bit before football camp.

Facebook and Mothers

Reading what my FB "friends" have posted on FB, is that they really don't like moms posting about about their kids or posting pictures of food or God forbid both at the same time. "Moms should really have their own Facebook page" one of my friend's friend posted. Really? Hey why stop there, how about a Nonwhite moms Facebook page? You know us moms of an international sort are bat shit crazy. Yep, gotta love discrimination. Sure I don't like reading the details of potty training on FB, I hide or delete, of course people don't want to do that because than they wouldn't have anything to whine about. I have never posted to complain about single friends or friends with no kids. Never gotten on FB and said, " Girls that are engaged are so annoying . Pick a dang dress already!", or "Geesh another picture of a drink at a bar,someone might have a problem!" I realize not everyone likes or loves my kids, but shouldn't my "friends " like me? Be a little interested in my life. They can see I am a mom with kids. Maybe they should have a stalker request. I can stalk your FB page for a bit see that you are a loving mom , married and a little bit chubbier than last I saw you , then get the hell out. Everyone says , don't put that crap on FB , blog about it. So that is what I am going to do. I dusted off my Blog that I started a long time ago, and I am going to blog and blog about my freaking awesome kids and all the food pics you could dream off. Not to say I won't be on FB , twitter and I just started Instagram . I am everywhere. If you don't like it, I can tell you where you can shove your status . smooches !
