Day 352: Pad Thai

I really wanted to make some Pad Thai tonight and needed a few more ingredients, but I was not up for going grocery shopping on my own. Stepdad to the rescue! Dave came along and helped me get stuff bagged. I forgot to take advantage of him grabbing things that were low on the shelves. It can be hard to not do things I'm used to doing myself. I also stocked up on sandwich dressing since Jamin uses it all the time.

Day 149: Someone's in the kitchen with Mama

Zaria had fun joining me in the kitchen while I cooked dinner tonight. Jamin doesn't like her in the kitchen while he's cooking, but I enjoy letting her play in her tupperware drawers and lifting her up once in a while to show her how I'm making things.

Day 50: Making dessert with Zaria

I imagine Zaria will actually be able to help soon, in a few months or so. Today as I was making a Jello Cheesecake as a going-away treat for Jamin's brother Bill, Zaria was helping by being cute and getting under my feet. She also sang to me, so that helped. She's been teething this week, so it's been difficult. She clung to me when I got over to Jamin's folks' place and wouldn't have anything to do with Bill. I was surprised, she usually does much better with strangers and she's seen those family members fairly recently. It was probably a combination of being tired, hungry, teething and being woken up from just barely getting to sleep in the car after running around to do errands with me.
