AWOL Yes, I've been neglecting my blog here recently but it's mostly because we've just been so busy with life. I keep having good intentions on blogging them here, but just don't get to actually posting them. Maybe some day. So, here's a super quick summary of activities that we've been busy with over the last month or so: Father's Day, Oodles Of Noodles, Employee family day, Spring band concert, 5th grade carnival, Intro to middle school, week long trip to Walt Disney World, 4th of July, Summer basketball league, new basketball team for Matthew, new braces for Matthew, my birthday weekend, etc., etc. I probably have close to a thousand photos to choose from to post here, that hopefully I'll get to one day. Keep your fingers crossed. yam [11:54 AM

Edamame Salad
I made this edamame salad for a 4th of July party tonight, based on a dish we had in Walt Disney World, that I modified to my own tastes. It has edamame, bean sprouts, carrots, red bell pepper, red onions, cucumbers, corn and flat leaf parsley. The dressing is made with miso, sesame paste, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, dijon mustard, crushed black pepper and salt. yam [5:31 PM

We've returned from Summer vacation! It was great fun, but definitely had its challenges, including weather, food poisoning, and other stuff. I'll have pics and stories soon! yam [3:20 PM

Here's my first attempt at a night shot, of tonight's full moon. Whew, it took me about 20 tries just to get this, and playing with all of the adjustments on my new camera. I know, I'm a rookie. yam [10:02 PM

Happy Father's Day!
At Staples Center, April 2000
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there! (This is still one of my favorite pictures from a Lakers game in 2000. Yup, those are Pluto ears that Matthew is wearing on his head.)
Wow, it's been such a busy week! I will try to summarize it later on tonight. Laters. yam [9:49 AM
