Adventures in babysitting and a dinner fail

Well, yesterday I professed my love of the pressure cooker and how I was going to cook every recipe in Bob Warden's Great Food Fast. When I decided that I had actually already meal planned for the week and so I decided to go ahead and cook one of the meals I had bought all the ingredients for. I will admit I failed. Everything was going great, I was so proud of myself because I was doing it all by myself with no help from Eric. Well, my mistake was using 12 oz of uncooked pasta, instead of 12 oz of cooked pasta. By the time we got it all mixed together, it was evident there was not enough sauce to cover the pasta. The flavors were good, but it just wasn't right and it got cold really fast. Eric, being the "experienced" chef that he is, told me it was okay and that cooking takes time to learn. Oh and that he could definitely make it and anything for that matter better than me. Thanks... Oh well, it is the truth.

The recipe is from Panera.com and can be found here if you want to try do it better than me.

We went on a walk (it is like cool outside!) with Ollie and now I am having a glass of wine and getting ready to go watch Bachelor Pad. I am over it.

We got to babysit our niece Blair on Friday night and I have to share some of the pictures. We had impromptu photo session and she loved posing. Then Blair decided she needed to be close to her kitty. Poor Leo. I felt bad for the guy! We had such a fun time playing with her before she went to bed. She was so easy to watch and went to bed with no problems. We can't wait to do it again! Can't wait to celebrate her 2nd birthday this weekend! I can't believe she is almost two!!!!!
