Stellar report card

One of M's co-workers had a major heart attack while out cycling recently. The man wouldn't be more than 45 and seemed to be in good shape. He's recovering, but this sort of thing is very scary.

Did I mention I'm going to stop buying unsalted cashew nuts and switch to almonds? I heard they're much healthier. (a third of a cup at a time) I also read that omega 3 eggs don't have a significant amount of omega 3, so I'm switching to free run eggs. These are the ones where the chickens can roam freely in the barn. Or I'll just buy regular eggs if I can't find those. The kids and I take omega 3 supplements anyway. M doesn't seem to care about it.

A friend of mine got her mom a birthday letter signed by the prime minister to commemorate her 70th birthday. What a great idea for some moms!

L received her usual stellar report card today. Some teachers can really write good report card comments, I believe it's a skill. Did I mention K passed all his subjects for grade 7? Now we just have to worry about grade 8. He's off on birthday sleepover party tonight.

I made some delicious shrimp fried rice today. The secret seems to lie in using up whatever leftover meat you might have. I had baked some shrimp in a ginger teriyaki marinade so it already had quite a bit of flavour.


Shrimp Fried Rice

4 cups cooked white rice
2 tbs light soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 eggs
1 cup of cooked shrimp shelled and cut into small pieces
3 green onions cut into small pieces

Mix soy sauce, salt, pepper into the cooked rice. In a saute pan,
scramble 2 eggs in a bit of canola oil and remove from your saute pan. Warm shrimp pieces, remove from saute pan. Add 2 tbs canola oil to saute pan. Stir the rice in. When warmed up, mix in eggs, shrimp, and green onions. you're done!
