Anyone remember "the Badger".
I have heard good things about the series, but it came out when I only had the funds to get a couple of books from the "big 2". I should check out the series. Thanks for the reminder, Xabulba.

Add just a touch of water. Keeps it from getting to thick and burnt up.

What do badgers eat?
I like a good steak.
According to Wikipedia, American badgers are primarily carnivorous and eat ground-dwelling rodents (gophers, yum!). Rotting fruit is intoxicating to badgers.
This seems baffling: "In North America, coyotes sometimes eat badgers and vice versa, but the majority of their interactions seem to be mutual or neutral."

So, you see Ron really represents the everyman, the guy who we are all suposed to relate to. Nobody can really relate to Harry, because we are not ay of us the chosen one. Therefore we end up watching the movie from Ron's perspective, as the sdekick taking in all of the action without ever really being able to participate in it.
Wait... I'm not supposed to have identified with Hagrid? My bad.
Except for those days I identify with Hermione. Woefully underappreciated and surrounded by morons. But enough about work.

If it doesn’t have feet or lives in water then it's not meat according to the Catholic Church. It doesn't make much sense but that's religion for you.

Asian fusion fajitas. It all started one day when I was making my fajita maranade and accidently grabbed the ginger instead of the cumin....

Grocery shopping accomplished. I don't know what's worse, the shock from the bill or having to carry all the heavy bags in from the car. Ah, who am I kidding. The bill is so much way worse. My debit card is crying now. :(
On the bright side, since my husband is going to be gone for a work trip all next week I was able to plan fun easy meals, like hot dogs, and chicken nuggets and tortellini. This will make the kid very happy and will mean that I get five whole days when all I really have to do is heat stuff up. :)

Easy Meals + Fun Food Time with kid = Epic Win - the headaches of cooking...or something like that... :)
I have to stop looking at the threads with food. My stomach is getting angry with me... :P
