Blog-a-Day in August

So, even though I don't think anyone reads this blog, I'm going to try to see if I can post something each day in August. Mid-way though August, my kids will all be in school, so I'll need something to do.

Maybe I'll use it as a brain-storming sounding board as I try to figure out what on earth I'm going to do with myself next year when they're all in school full-time!

And so, there you go. A post a day. We'll see if it goes anywhere. I might just spend all of August sleeping until it's time to pick someone up at the bus. Or I might get up and do something productive.

Seriously Chopped

So, my kids and I like to watch a show on the Food Network called Chopped. If you've never seen it, it starts with four chefs and they get a basket with mystery ingredients and have to throw together an appetizer using those ingredients in 20 minutes. Then one is eliminated, then the three make a main course in 30 min., using a different basket of weird ingredients, and then after another elimination, the remaining two go head to head on the dessert course. The winner gets $10,000.

The graphic as you come back from a commercial break is a cleaver chopping through the title of the show.

Last night we were watching a recorded episode, and my son very seriously asked, "If they lose, do they really get a knife thrown at them?"
