And if they don't want to sing, they don't want to sing. But my daughter, my youngest, loves to act and draw and sing - we can't make her stop.<br /><br />I learned with kids to go with their personalities - I talk books with my reader, I enjoy films with my filmmaker, and I watch theater a lot with my daughter (or of her).Leorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303493764579879710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119912510734046649.post-707873503911903412011-08-21T09:25:49.087-04:002011-08-21T09:25:49.087-04:00It's always such a temptation to embark on com...It's always such a temptation to embark on complicated recipe projects... Although I rarely end up following through, opting to settle with just a component of dish or simplifying the recipe. There really just aren't enough hours in the day! The polenta cakes look so good though, they would be worth any effort. :)Hannahhttp://www.bittersweetblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119912510734046649.post-66320805496446402342011-08-19T10:26:13.161-04:002011-08-19T10:26:13.161-04:00Even without a job, I limit the complicated cookin...Even without a job, I limit the complicated cooking to only once or twice a week.

Like you are concluding, fancy dishes and major food experiments were reserved for weekends (along with making the giant batch of beef stew or the seven lasagnas for the freezer). Now that we are down to one job, the cooking has increased in complexity--and so has the chauffeuring. So I have decided there never is quite being the time you expected, no matter what... Good luck--you'll do great (even if it doesn't always feel that way).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119912510734046649.post-79850243201777264722011-08-18T01:53:11.606-04:002011-08-18T01:53:11.606-04:00I love making polenta to bake, fry, or grill.

I will definitely be putting this dish on my to-do list :) <br /><br />I just recently stumbled on a website (http://caloriecount.about.com/) that has a "Recipe Analyzer" available for its users - you copy and paste a recipe and the serving size and it creates a nutritional label for the homemade meal! It could be a good addition to an already fantastic blog! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
