Picture Challenge - January 30

So, as I mentioned previously, I went to Sprouts the other day to purchase some produce and where I got the yummy candy crack. 
While there, I purchased some squashes (acorn and butternut) as well some sweet potatoes. I got the sweet potatoes to make some YUMMY  sweet potato, corn, ham chowder, which I have been eating on all week. This is NOT a picture of MY chowder, but is very similar. 

As I stated, I also bought acorn and butternut squash, which I have no idea what to do with, and some pearl onions and zucchini squash. What I am thinking about doing is figure out how to clean the squash, cut it up in chucks, and throw it into a dish with the pearl onions, olive oil, salt and pepper and roast them... Thoughts?

Picture Challenge - January 29

This is my nephew, Colin, preparing to swim the 1000 free. He is a freshman in high school and an amazing swimmer. This past weekend he was in a UIL meet where his relay team, with him, took first and broke the school record by 5 seconds. I'm not a swimmer myself, but from what I understand that is a pretty amazing feat. We are all so very proud and amazed by this kid.

Picture Challenge - January 28


These salt and pepper shaker showed up in my Amazon recommendations today, along with a whole slew of other unicorn stuff. Part of me really wishes that I was a unicorn person, just so I could take advantage of all these wonderful things, alas, I am not....Perhaps I need to just tuck these away in case I need to give them to some unicorn lover in the future.
