:::::::::::::extended trill:::::::::: Batman! (in a little cutey 22mo voice that melts me heart and weakens me knees)
We went out to din last night and Otto was trilling Batman, sporting Batman, and check it out (on the coloring page) I can even draw the Batman logo... so yeah, send your compliments, I have a talent.
We went out because we were celebrating! Yesterday was like a major major day in the life of my little nuclear family. We've been living in Tucson this second time around for almost five years with the end goal of my insanely smart husband getting his 2nd bachelors degree, this time in math, and then we'll go onto Part 2: PhD. Yesterday the hubs took his MathGRE which is like the equivalent of the MCAT or the LSAT except for people with beautiful minds. We'll find out in a few weeks how he did, but just having taken the test is a major milestone. From here he goes onto applying to PhD programs all over the country and he's been studying for the test for hours, every day, for months. When he came home yesterday I breathed a huge sigh of relief! Goodbye MathGRE I hated you! Hasta! Now I kinda sorta get my hubs back.
Yesterday I was also lucky enough to host a playdate at my house for a handful of friends and their babies and toddlers. The company Sabra sponsored the playdate and we got to try all kinds of hummus and stuff. The smash bang boom HIT of the food table was Sabra's hummus chicken salad so I told a few people I'd post the recipe here:
Sabra's Hummus Chicken Salad Recipe
Note the partheses below... I just used the recipe as a springboard, so below is the original recipe with what I did in parens to the right.
1 cup grilled chicken breast, cubed (I used 1 1/2 cups)
1 Tbsp diced scallions (I used 3 Tbsp)
2 Tbsp diced celery (I used 1/4 cup)
2 Tbsp diced red pepper (I used 1/4 cup)
1 Tbsp water (I followed the directions, haha)
1/2 cup Sabra Hummus (I used about an 1/8 cup more than this & with the garlic hummus)
salt & pepper to taste
So you mix all the above together and then eat it on things... and everyone rolls their eyes and goes "mmm" and takes seconds and asks you for the recipe.
Then later you watch Toy Story 3 and realize that for the last 2 date nights you've had you have chosen to watch blockbuster cartoons and both times you had tears rolling down your face the whole time. So you go to bed early, you old, un-edgy lamesack. But not before sipping on a warm lemony cup of metamucil. Ok, I lied about that last part, but that's how I felt about myself. Because I am an old, un-edgy lamesack. Ha.
