zucchini tip

i could have been saving a lot of time all these years!  for raw zucchini, you can just cut it up and microwave it to cook!  you don't have to steam it or stove cook it.  why didn't anyone tell me?? 

photo card tip

when you're making a photo card, first find a photo that you like.  THEN, find a card background.  a lot of times you might find a great background, but the photo you have isn't a good match.  it's much easier to have the photo first before choosing a background.

mi pueblo es su pueblo

just realized something.  something HUGE!  mi pueblo, the mexican supermarket chain, has meat that's ALREADY CUT UP!  no longer will i have to spend precious time cutting up chicken.  no longer will i toil over that huge hunk of beef for stir fry.  the days of cleaving pork have ended.  can you feel the electricity in the air?!  can you feel it?! 

 

yesterday i cooked up some pastor.  it was pretty good--just something simple to eat over rice.

allergies tip

i've never understood why people have pets when their kids are allergic to the pet!  get rid of your pet so your kid can breathe in his own house.  is that insensitive?  i figure a kid is more important than a cat.  no?
