afternoon tea

Senor Onion was deemed a fairly normal three year old by the doctor. He is 40 inches tall (puts him in the 90th percentile for those that care soooooo deeply about these things..you know his Grandmas) and he weighs about 33 pounds in his stocking feet and Thomas the Tank Engine underpants. As for his tummy problems he will be okay in a few days. Just keep up what I am doing (clear liquids, popsicles and plenty of fluids) and call it good. The one upside to his current state is that he naps without any issue. Thank you kid. I can overlook your occasional sociopathic behavior because of this. Maybe not overlook it but I can handle it without turning to drink.

I baked some smug muffins this morning, then I made some rice pudding. I exercised a great deal of restraint by not eating the whole saucepan. This is some terrific rice pudding. It is the super sekrit family recipe. I think my only quibble is that I would use less sugar than the recipe calls for. I have only shared this recipe with one person outside of my family. (they know who they are.) In my family it makes for good eating when you aren't feeling so well. I will see if Senor Onion wants some later on.
As for dinner I am roasting a chicken tonight. I need to look at the vegetables to see what else I can put together. I should also contemplate how I want to use up the leftovers for the next day or so.

Okay you know what is lame?
I live THREE HOURS from Vancouver. YET? YET? It is past 8:30 and they haven't begun showing the opening ceremony. We DON'T GET to watch it live. At all. I understand waiting until Primetime on the East coast but why can't they just show it live here.
I can't watch the internet feed as it is overloaded. NBC is the only option here (since CBC lost the tv rights to CTV) and OMG... all of the damn inspirational stories. I may vomit. I just want to watch pretty shiny stuff and the parade of nations. NBC paid too much for the Olympics and then they do programming that is so lousy that it makes you want to throw large objects at your television.

Fuck it. I am going to bake some motherfucking brownies bitches.
