Awesome Sauce

I worked with a 96 year old woman this week. Her records say she is hard of hearing... but that's putting it mildly... the woman's deaf.

So when she told me to make her a salad for lunch I chose to bring her the dressings so she could point to one instead of yelling at her 50 times, "WHAT DRESSING DO YOU WANT?"

When I brought the dressings she said, "Oh no honey... that's all crap" (remember she is 96... that was funny) "I want you to make my dressing."

So she gave me directions on how to make what she wanted and I set off to work.

Equal parts Mayo and Honey Mustard dressing. Add some pickle juice, then sprinkle sugar on it.

Whip it all together.

Now for a little back story. There is a restaurant in Washington that my family LOVES. One of the main reasons why we LOVE this restaurant is because of the top secret, ridiculously awesome salad dressing. We know the owner and have offered all kind of bribes to get this recipe, but to no avail.

Back to my story:

After I made the dressing I thought: This looks just like Carl's dressing from Bonsi Wok.

So I tasted it: THIS TASTES JUST LIKE CARL'S DRESSING FROM BONSI WOK!!!!!!

That old lady I work for is right. All other salad dressings in the world are crap. And now that I know the secret I'm sharing it with you.

I must love you.

Very much.

P.S. I made a peach pie.

Batman

Did I let The Snake go to the Library Dressed as Batman?

Yes. Yes I did.

(technically this is Mr. Fingers, but The Snake was the one who wore the batsuite out in public)

Many people said hello to Batman.

My favorite though, was when a little kid would tug on Mom's pant leg and say, "He mom look! It's Batman!"

Crafty

Fact: I am not crafty. Just ask my mom (who is crafty)

But... These melted crayon projects have been all over the Internet. And I happened to already have some plain canvases in my garage. And a bucket FULL of crayons that never get used. And a glue gun. And a blow dryer. So.... why not?

I made this one for my living room.

And this one is in the Boy's room.

I can't stand having a project spread out over my house that takes weeks to finish.

The best part about this craft is that start to finish it takes like ten minutes. Now that's MY KIND OF CRAFT.
