Speaking of kitchen, I made a really good ziti casserole, well haven't exactly eaten it yet, from Christine Ha's (masterchef 3 winner) new cookbook. It was an all day affair due to the fact that I had to make my own spaghetti sauce for the recipe and that took 2 hours to cook. I learned how to peel tomatoes - its easy. Cut a x on the bottom of the tomato, dunk them in boiling water for 25 seconds, put them into ice water, and then peel from the x on the bottom. It worked great. And then I bought the wrong sausage, so I had to take the casings off and then grind it up in the blender to get it into small chunks. That worked though. It will be eaten for Father's day tomorrow!
I finally, finally, finally, got out the paint for the boys. I haven't been brave enough to let them paint together, but it actually went really well. They made a mess everywhere, but the paint was super easy to clean off the table and them. I'll have to do it again. They need some paint brushes - I gave them my basting brushes. I managed to get some good finger prints of each of the boys on a page for a father's day card for Stephen.
