Potty Training Stinks
April 30, 2012 By 1 Comment
Potty training stinks. Well, not potty training itself, but the aftermath of soiled underthings that accumulates when one is waiting to have enough laundry to justify a load. 
Then of course, there are the unfortunate episodes when said soiled laundry comes out smelling as if they had never encountered the rinse and spin cycles. Oi vey! Just last week, I washed one pair of Sister’s jeans three times (THREE) before they finally smelled clean.
Of course, I do all those things you are supposed to do, like rinsing the soiled underthings immediately after they become soiled, and getting them in the wash as soon as feasible. But, sometimes that just isn’t enough.
Fortunately, Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator understands tough odors. It is specifically formulated to capture tough odors in the wash cycle and rinse them away during the rinse cycle, the first time. While detergent is designed to get the dirt out, Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator is designed to get the stink out. It is safe to use with detergents, bleaches, fabric softeners, and other laundry additives. It carries the Good Housekeeping seal of approval, which I trust, so I’ve added Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator to my laundry arsenal.
I think I will be using it on Hubs “just mowed the lawn” clothes, too!
Febreze is currently offering a coupon good for $2 off Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator when you sign up.

Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator is available wherever laundry products are sold, including Walmart, and on Amazon.

Japanese Noodles with Grilled Chicken and Peppers
April 27, 2012 By 19 Comments
I picked up some Japanese Buckwheat Noodles recently, and wanted to give them a whirl. Not having a recipe, I decided to “throw together” dinner.
Why is it that those always end up being my favorite?
I used pre- cooked chicken breast strips, two bell peppers, an onion, some olive oil, and some lite soy sauce.
Put them together, and what have you got? Japanese Noodles with Grilled Chicken and Peppers. Hubs and I both devoured ours. Sister enjoyed it as well. Mister? Well, he protests all things new and all things healthy.
Here’s the recipe, just in case you’d like to try it…
Buckwheat noodles are perfectly complimented by grilled chicken, peppers, and onions, with a touch of lite soy sauce.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces buckwheat noodles
- 8 ounces grilled chicken breast strips, precooked
- medium red bell pepper, sliced
- medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
- medium onion, sliced
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 Tablespoons lite soy sauce
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 8 inch sauté pan
- 10 inch sauté pan
- 2 quart pan
Instructions

Quote- Risk to Blossom
April 26, 2012 By 15 Comments
While I have never read any of the works of Anais Nin, one of my favorite quotes is attributed to her…
“There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
When I took the photo of the pine blossom, with my Canon Elph, I thought the quote would be perfect for it.
Wouldn’t you agree?
