• We brought Max to the Vet today.  The last time we were there, they told us to set an appointment  so that  they could take the pin away fro his leg (that was the Dad vet  told us).  When we came back today, it was the son who was there, his opinion was different than the Dad.  So going to the Vet office today was kinda waste of time.
• I am glad that today is Ms. Burrito's last day of school.  She is off tomorrow for Report's Day.  Since we had a light winter, the school did not use their snow days so the students were given three more days off  for Easter.
• We delivered some of the chocolates that were ordered for the Easter  fund raising in school.  Thanks everyone who made orders.

Sponges

Aside from the love of water, my Burritos love to clean dishes because of the colorful sponges that we use in the kitchen.

Most loved deserts to share at any occasion

Part of the way that we connect with our various friend and family members is by eating meals with them. Anytime there is a large meal that is going to be shared with many different people, you can be sure and certain that there is going to be desert that is thrown into the mix somewhere. Among the most loved of all deserts there is cheesecake. There are many different ways that these kinds of deserts can be made, and there are also multiple places where you can purchase these kinds of items as well. Whether you make them, or you purchase them, cheesecake is something that many people can enjoy.

There are also other deserts that are great for any occasion. There are classics like cookies, brownies, and other kinds of pastries that are very popular with all kinds of different people. Your cultural background can also affect the kinds of deserts that you and your family choose to enjoy. There are certain kinds of foods that are only eaten at specific times of the year. For example, there are delicacies like Yule logs that are eaten at Christmas, and there are other deserts that are only eaten at times like new years or Easter.

No matter what kinds of deserts that you choose to make, the best thing that you can do is to share them with the people that are in your life that are important to you. When it means that you can spend more time with family, it is a good thing to try and do what you can in order to make it a good experience, and a lot of it has to do with food. Much of the time that we spend with each other has to do with food. These can be any kind of food, but the deserts are some of the foods that we all love the most.

I am blessed with generous friends and family, yohooo..

Green Theme

I decided to cover the glass table we have in the kitchen. I bought a green table cloth.  I got tired of seeing finger prints every time even though I clean  it before and after we eat.  I think I will save money in the long run by covering the glass table as  glass cleaner is expensive.  The  table cloth makes our  kitchen look smaller though.
