NEWS FLASH

Sydnie may have the discovered a cure for Hydrococaufofathis last night! Hydro... is the illness which causes coughing spells in small stuffed rabbits, jaguars, dogs, or any other well-loved animal. Dr. Sydnie concocted a mixture of crocodile mix, fish mix, flour and eggs which may have saved Bitty Bunny! She also tried a mixture of crocodile eggs, fish eggs and flour. (Both make a type of soup.)

As important as this medical discovery is to small stuffed animals everywhere, I couldn't keep it a secret! I hope your animals never need it, but if they do, you are armed and ready.

Good Health to all!!!

(No we didn't actually mix anything this time; I was able to talk her into pretend ingredients, thank goodness, but we did have quite a bit of excitement!)

Funny Sayings

I really should keep a miniature voice recorder handy for all times. I think, I won't forget that...but I do.

In the bath the other night, Sydnie was rubbing the soap on her legs to make "her skin skinny".

She was trying to get Daddy to do something, but he wasn't quite into her play, so I told her to say, "Please, just humor me, Dad." So she said, "Just humoree, Dad. What's that?!"

Weighing rocks (Syd is really into studying rocks lately) she put them on the kitchen scale and said, "Wow, Mom, that rock is 1 inch heavy!" Of course, it was about 1 ounce in weight. We're working on that concept.

There were many more I was planning to pass along, but unfortunately, they have gone to the Land of Words, never to be brought back again. (Since I don't think I'll remember them any time soon.)

Lasagna Recipe

Here is the Lasagna Recipe that has been awaited for soooo long. Sorry it took so long. I hope I remembered everything :)

Spinach Lasagna

Lasagna noodles (may be regular, gluten free, or no boil) about 1 box
1 chopped onion
1 TBS oil
2 lbs. ground meat ( I used 1lb ground beef and 1lb ground sausage)
2 eggs
2 boxes frozen spinach, thawed and drained
3 c ricotta or cottage cheese
2c tomatoes (1 can)
2 (6 oz.) cans tomato paste
2 TBS parsley
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 lb. mozzarella cheese, grated

Heat skillet and cook onion and oil, add ground meat. Drain and add tomatoes and tomato paste and salt. Combine remain ingredients, except mozzarella cheese, in a blender until smooth, layer noodles, meat sauce, spinach mixture and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Bake for about 30 minutes. (Mine took closer to 45 minutes.)

The spinach may be removed easily for just a meat lasagna.

Enjoy!!
