Oh my god, oh my god oh my GOD!!!!

Yesterday was MY day man. I mean really really my day. Beautiful 32 I think I'm going to really like you. For 1, my friend Sid came over and watched the girls while I ran off to the DMV of all places. I was in and out of there, the bank and the grocery within 1 hour though. I know....amazing right! I also have one of ( says vain me) one of the best drivers liscence photos ever on the face of the planet. Asia watched the girls all night and get ready for it....the best part of the whole night, my husband.......is a full fledged SUSHI convert! OH YES!!!!!!! He's already waiting, plotting even for the next time we can get it. I so meant to get a picture but I felt like kind of an ass clicking away in this nice resturant we went to. Plus I was too excited at the prospect of having my first expertly rolled sushi in 6 YEARS to remember I even had a camera on me. Though having no photographic evidence of the glutony that insued is kinda a good thing. Anyways heres a picture I stole from someone else.

The rest of the night was almost as fantastic as sharing my love of food with my loving husband.

Tomorrow is New years eve, the begining of 2010 and my big sisters Bday. Sout out to Shawn Hayes aka: Nawny! Love you lady and wish you a bright and beautiful year!

It also has me thinking of course....about cooking, what to make for my little family to ring in the new year????

Its to bad pop rocks wouldn't hold up in cupcakes....or frosting. How much would that kick ass, pop rock cupcakes for new years! What I have on hand though is strawberries and for those of you not in the know I am a strawberry cake fanatic. I used to have my dad bake it for my bdays, well that and fried rice. YUM. So I think tomorrow I'll make strawberry cake. Okay the important question is outta the way so that just leaves dinner......I want something that my little family loves and that reminds me of my BIG Family that is easy delish and won't cause any dinner time melt downs at the kiddy table of my life....

The boat may be gone but the memories are loud and clear,

dun dun DUN!!!!

Pork medalions ala wingsong.

salad

and.....

I'll figure something out I'm sure.

I also think I should make evryone some nifty cardboard crowns,

I let the girls make Sean one so he has to wear it. heheheh yes I am that bad but its sooooo good for him!!

Besides there more cardboard from xmas that needs to be used up.

Anyways....heres to you, Hope your having fun and being as beautiful as I know you are. Happy New years people!!!! Happy birthday Shawn na na!

Love big mama whalen
