Any ideas?

I am totally blocked!BLAH! It is like this unbearable heat has fried my brain.

Make me a match

Hello Reader! I would like to take this opportunity to play matchmaker. Meet Cecil.

He's manly and looks good in a pair of ripped jeans.

He is a wonderful friend. 

He looks good in yellow (and isn't too cool to dress up on Halloween).

And he melts my heart when he holds Dahlia 

He is her Uncle Cec. 

The pictures are pretty explanatory. Cecil has a great easy going personality and is one of our bestest friends. If you know me, you know I wouldn't say it lightly. He watches our dog, fixes my car, and helps with our home improvement projects. He also has sexy hands. I said it. Sexy hands. If you know a sweet, pretty girl who is in her 20's, let me know and I will set it up. 

Hugs,

Brandi

New Foods

I am trying to cook healthier meals to help my waistline and Jeremiah's heart. We found out he has high blood pressure and, well, I am just wobbly.

I will make:

Potato Leek Pizza
Fruit salad with some herbaceous dressing
Pasta with seared scallops and tomato butter sauce

Jeremiah will have to help me with these. (hint hint)

MMMM,
Brandi

Little Foodie

Boughten baby food is B-L-A-H. Have you ever tasted it? I am not saying I won't give it to Dahlia. It's so darned convenient. Bu-ut, we are taking advantage Dahlia's age and tendency to put things in her mouth. Right now her favorite is her own feet. Not edible.

Here are some pictures of the most recent experiment in taste. I love pickled okra ( used to steal it from the refrigerator in the basement of our church-horrible, I know. I still maintain Mr. Neal kept it there especially for me). Jeremiah loves it too. Maybe our baby will? Let's see.  

Curious

and curiouser

and sour

and juicy

I will try it again

still sour

and slippery

and no. thank. you.

Shortly after this she threw it in the floor. I take heart in the fact that she usually makes these faces when trying anything cold. Plus, it was super cute. 

Hugs, 

Brandi
