So...when you are stuck in traffic for over an hour, this is SERIOUSLY not what you want to see on the side of a truck. While I like my salads (and trust me I can make a better salad than Jack), it still doesn't compare to diamonds.
Anyway, today was a great day. I seem to be having a lot of those lately...and I am pretty happy about that. ESY was super easy today (we only had four kids out of eight show up) and I was done by noon. I came home and hung out with Lucas and cleaned all of the bedding and laundry in our house (definitely a job that is satisfying when complete, but a pain in the ass when you are doing it). However, I made the mistake of waiting until shortly after 4 to drive Lucas down to my parent's house to stay the night so we could go and see Inception (which is a very good, thought-provoking, although SUPER-long movie). I left to drop Lucas off at 4:10 and did not make it home until shortly after 6...traffic was that bad. Yuck.
After making it home I made a yummy dinner (pork tenderloin, quinoa (not grits) and a salad with fresh greens from my mom's garden). Dinner would have been perfect if I hadn't burnt my thumb on the pan. No matter how many years I have cooked, I still burn myself way too often. So this weeks new thing I cooked was Pork Tenderloin my mom's way. It turned out nice and tender, which isn't surprising...she's an amazing cook. I also made Filet Mignon for the first time on Saturday (usually I do rib-eyes). Now to think about what to make next week!

I'm hungry now and it's only 9:30am. Filet mignon is one of the hardest things for me to cook. I always worry I'm going to mess it up, but it is so good, I could just sear it and eat it rare. :O Man, you could sear it and then put it as a topping on a salad. I'm so hungry!
