Over-Used Recipe Week 2010

In Events, Food, Over-used Recipes on February 19, 2010 at 8:30 am

I cook. A lot. I’m not a chef. I’m a mom. And I often feel like I cook the same recipes over and over again. You know the feeling. Too mundane. Then I talk to my friends. They know the feeling too. Then came the idea…

What if we exchanged our over-used recipes? Over-used? You know, the one meal that you cook over and over again because it is easy and you’ve made it so many times you don’t even have to measure the ingredients. Oooh, that recipe.

So here it is…

Over-used Recipes Swap

It’s like a recipe swap. I am hoping to collect over 365 recipes from all of you. That’s enough new recipes to cover all of us for a year. It’ll come to you in a linking party way. Meaning you blog your over-used recipes, then link it here beginning March 1. You don’t have a blog? Leave the recipe in the comments. That’ll work too.

And here is an added bonus… I enlisted some “famous” bloggers and some of my blogger friends to share with us their over-used recipes. Don’t you want to know what they eat all the time? I do!

Take a button if you want and share this announcement (copy code below). Remember, the goal is 365 recipes. Let’s get cookin’!

Friday’s 5 at 5: Use Olympics to Teach Culture

In Education Week, Events, Friday's 5 at 5 on February 19, 2010 at 5:00 am

{image by Tiffany Bird}

It’s been a great week learning about countries around the world with more countries to come next week. With the Winter Olympics going on in Vancouver, this is a great time to teach your children about countries around the world. And if you’re not already glued to the TV watching every Winter Olympic event, then here are ideas to get the Olympic excitement going in your household.

It begins with each child picking a country they want to cheer and support, and parents can be included too. Keep the Olympics on the TV screen so the children can cheer on their country in the various events.

  1. Wave a flag. Olympians love to wave their country flag. Have the kids draw their country’s flag they are supporting.
  2. Medal count. Keep track of each country’s winnings in a chart using stickers. Better yet, make your own gold, silver and bronze medal ribbons for the kids to wear. Visit the official Vancouver Olympics website for a list of each country’s winnings.
  3. Dot it on the map. Find their country on a world map. Better yet, take a trip there on Google Earth.
  4. Dance off. Play music from each country and have your own dance Olympic event.
  5. Say what? Using online language translators and find how to say or write funny phrases in their country’s language.

What they do is simple. You purchase a t-me kit that contains 10 mini-markers, square paper, a catalog of t-shirts and a pre-paid envelope. Have your child draw their design. Mail it back in with the pre-paid envelopes. And Poloppo will send your child their shirt they designed. Done. Great way for your child to display his art other than on your refrigerator.

Poloppo is giving away ONE newly released long sleeve t-me kit that includes everything mentioned above. Whoo hoo! This giveaway includes all my international readers. Poloppo is willing to ship out-of-country if you win.

To enter, do ANY of the following. For multiple entries, do more than one and make sure you leave a separate comment for each entry.

**This giveaway is closed. Winner will be announced Dec. 17.**

I featured Hope for Women on SMM back in August when I first discovered the Tagua bracelets. Oh, how lovely. And the more I learned about Hope for Women, the more I am amazed by what they do for women around the world.

Here’s an excerpt from their site:

Hope For Women brings premium quality, Fair Trade products created by women artisans to the mainstream marketplace. We are a socially responsible organization committed to providing sustainable employment for economically disadvantaged women worldwide. We offer products exclusively made by women so they can take control of their lives and their futures. Hope For Women is a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation. Every woman is paid a fair, livable wage under safe and healthy working conditions. We aim to have the highest environmental standards in all aspects of our business, and incorporate our “green” ethic into our products, packaging, and every decision we make.

And check out their home products. I think the vase above would look great in our guest room.

And the greeting cards are made of handmade “tree-free” paper faced with real pressed wild flowers and native plantings from the foothills of the Himalayas. This giveaway is only for U.S. residents.

Each bracelet is made by economically disadvantaged women artisans and their families. You can feel proud wearing this bracelet knowing it is changing and improving lives. Money collected from the bracelets also help provide incentive to protect and maintain the rainforest.

Gardens Take 2

In Events, Photography on October 9, 2009 at 10:52 am

The last time we went to the botanical gardens we only saw half of it. Not wanting to miss the Henry Moore sculptures, we had to go back a second time. This time we tried to get some family pictures… didn’t work out too well other than our individual shots. I didn’t bring a tripod and had to ask random passerby to snap photos of us. But I did bring some of the fake mustaches just in case.
