Deserted Island Chilaquiles

I made chilaquiles for Teri Jo and Steve today, and they turned out delicious! There's really no way you can go wrong with fried tortillas, eggs, refried black beans, orange peppers, cilantro, salsa verde, habinero-jack, avocados, and sour cream. That's all you need, except if you remember to buy red onion, as I did not. Simple recipe: fry corn tortillas in canola oil, heat up refried black beans (I added cumin), slice things, fry eggs, and arrange how you please.

Teri and I think hers looked like a deserted island, especially on the blue plate!

Very Small Project

My friend and roommate Teri Jo happened to babysit Rachel's friend, so they came over for a play date with the hopes of making a snowman. We then figured out that although the day was sunny, the snow was unfortunately quite powdery, so Teri suggested we make miniature snowmen. We went in to the kitchen to get baby carrots and raisins, and the product was adorable. Then I remembered how I had promised to make some small projects for my blog, so I set to work on making tiny crocheted scarves for the two mini snowmen we made. Snowmen have no necks, however, so they turned out to be a little short. They are quite cute, though!

All was fine and good until the one on the left decided to have an opinion about Teri's footwear. She asked her mom for snow-boots, alright?

No, the snowman didn't actually die. I mean, it is so cute! How could you destroy anything so cute, even if it did hurt your feelings just a little? (Story of my life as a nanny, BTW.)
