 A lot of people I’ve talked to are afraid of spinach pies.  It’s the phyllo dough that scares them.  This fear of phyllo dough that I kept hearing about kept me from trying to make spinach pies (or spanikopita) as the Greeks say for a long time. Well, when I finally broke down and madeContinue reading “Spanikopita & Block Parties”

For Randy’s 32nd birthday we’re heading to New Orleans next weekend!  Randy told me that New Orleans was enough of a party buuuuuut I decided that a surprise lunch was in order.

I finally askedContinue reading “Chili”

For the first timeContinue reading “Weekend at home”

We were lucky enough to have Uncle Meej and Aunt Daf come back this weekend.  We were all excited but some more than others.      In some serious conversation   Saturday the Jordans and friends had a surprise birthday party.  The Alis couldn’t get a sitter so we ordered Thai food and watched JContinue reading “Return of the Jordans”

These days I can’t wait to stand up! The minute I wake up I stand up waiting for my slow parents to pick me up!      If I can’t stand I’ll settle for some good old fashion crawling and playing.     But standing is where my heart is these days 🙂  Continue reading “Mover & Shaker”
