Off you go…go get your rain stick.

Today I was so cute I got a free bottle of liqueur.I just asked if they sold this vanilla flavored stuff in bottles smaller than my head and the lady was like “um…No”. So Morgan piped in something like “but what if it tastes like draino”? So she found us a small bottle attached to another bottle and stuck it on Morgans bottle of wine. We were looking for different things to cook with like wine and well anything else too.

We bought a couple of spices today because I insist that the ones that came with the jars are old and nasty. I wonder how long spices really last. I’m not sure, but I couldn’t handle it today so we had to get some new ones. We didn’t replace them all just the main ones we use all the time like cayenne, cumin and paprika. We are still on our Mexican food kick. Tonight is just tacos, but we’ve started making our own taco seasoning and fresh salsa. We were all excited to make corn tortillas from scratch, but Safeway didn’t have mesa corn flour. So no homemade tacos for us. I make good flour tortillas, but Id like to learn to make corn ones too.

We went to the Amnesty concert at PSO today. It was really good. My dad is the Guitar teacher at the school so he sang a song and his class played a couple too. My “extra” Dad, Mark, played a few songs too. They sang Pretty Vegas by J.D. Fortune and it rocked. I had a really hard time not dying laughing because there was this kid who was using his ability to play guitar to educate his school in…well I’m not really sure, but his taste in music leaves something to be desired. It was pretty bad alright. It reminded me of this one time in Bella Coola when this lady got up to sing and she couldn’t really play guitar and she had her mom stand behind her with a rain stick going “ooohhh aaahhhh oohh eeee”. It was so awful, but My family was sitting in the front row so we couldn’t laugh which ultimately meant we couldn’t look at each other at all.
