Swine Flu on the rampage

So far the public schools in our district have high absentee rate, up to 20% in extreme cases. CDC Center of Disease Control advice schools to inform parents when absentee rates get this high. Also possibly close the school when it gets higher. Hospitals restrict patients visit to adults 18 and above only. No children except to certain parts of the hospitals.

macam-macam

Four-year-old neighbor's son told my kids not to come close to him because he was sick with ----something. My youngest son ran into the house and told me W has amnesia! I asked him if he was really sure thats the disease W had. He said yes and widen his already big eyes as if I am the one with amnesia.

Son number two came into the house and announced to me that W has ammonia and half of his lung is full of water! Okaaay....I can sure smell ammonia in the air at this rate of weirdness that I have encounter!!!!!!!

Finally tween daughter came in and nonchalantly announced to the whole house that W has pneumonia. That sounds more like it.

Son number two is not feeling to well today. His team is in the soccer tournament this week and in the morning temperature can dip into the the 40s and 50s F. Plus it is not helpful when someone thinks that wearing a long sleeve shirt under the soccer jersey is not cool...... eeeemmmm

Send him to Sunday school anyways........ an hour later receive call from school asking to pick the sick son up because he is sick. He is now blissfully resting, while watching his favorite European soccer tournament on TV.

Perfect Guacamole

This is an excellent recipe for guacamole! Try it. This recipe is from this website: http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/perfect_guacamole/

Perfect Guacamole Recipe

Ingredients
2 ripe avocados
1/2 red onion, minced (about 1/2 cup)
1-2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed, minced
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon of fresh lime or lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
A dash of freshly grated black pepper
1/2 ripe tomato, seeds and pulp removed, chopped
Garnish with red radishes or jicama. Serve with tortilla chips.
Method
1 Cut avocados in half. Remove seed. Scoop out avacado from the peel, put in a mixing bowl. (See How to Cut and Peel an Avocado.)
2 Using a fork, mash the avocado. Add the chopped onion, cilantro, lime or lemon, salt and pepper and mash some more. Chili peppers vary individually in their hotness. So, start with a half of one chili pepper and add to the guacamole to your desired degree of hotness. Be careful handling the peppers; wash your hands thoroughly after handling and do not touch your eyes or the area near your eyes with your hands for several hours.
Keep the tomatoes separate until ready to serve.
Remember that much of this is done to taste because of the variability in the fresh ingredients. Start with this recipe and adjust to your taste.
3 Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation from the air reaching it. Refrigerate until ready.
4 Just before serving, add the chopped tomato to the guacamole and mix.
Serves 2-4.
Variations
For a very quick "guac" just take a 1/4 cup of salsa and mix it in with your mashed avocados.
You don't need to have tomatoes in your guacamole.
To extend a limited supply of avocados, add either sour cream or cottage cheese to your guacamole dip. Purists may be horrified, but so what? It tastes great. In fact, guac with some cottage cheese added to it is my favorite.
