par-tay

We went to a teddy bear pajama party at the library this evening. Enter...Paddy Bear. An early birthday present. That ended up being even earlier than intended because of a curious kiddo...he came out of my closet proudly proclaiming, "Look! A bear!"

Anyway, he likes Paddy. And had a good time at the library. And even fell asleep on the way home, woo hoo!

In other good news, I finally found a recipe I'm happy with for a yummy but easy potato corn chowder: dice two medium red potatoes, cover with water, and boil for 5 minutes. Drain, then add a can of creamed corn, a cup of Wild Oats' corn chowder base (from the bulk bins), add enough milk to cover and a bit more, then add a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Cook until the potatoes are done, stirring often. This made enough for the three eaters of this household, though I might make a bit more next time. Yummmm.

And Kansas City mamas---looking for a good motorcycle? Or maybe your dh would like one? Jon is selling his 2005 Honda Rebel, a great putzing around or commuter bike that gets about 70mpg. It's located in KC :)
