Hi Ladies! I conked out at 7:30 or so last night so I missed alot. Woke up at 1:30am bright eyed and bushy tailed with nothing to do, so I caught up on the chatter I missed. I

I managed to scribble down my wonton recipe to share with you as promised
Not much of a recipe writer so here goes. Let me know if something doesn’t make sense

WONTON RECIPE:

1 package of ground turkey or chicken
Juice of half lemon
oil
1 small onion diced
2 cloves of minced garlic
2 - 1 inch pieces of peeled ginger
1 finely chopped green onion
1 handful of finely chopped italian parsley
¼ - ½ package of coleslaw mix
½ finely grated carrot
1 handful of finely chopped cilantro
1 pk wonton wrappers
Oil for frying

NOTE – You can also add the green part of bok choy finely chopped to this recipe. Please feel free to adjust the amount of cilantro, coleslaw and grated carrot in this recipe. This is what I use for taste and colour and the cilantro at the end gives the filling a spicy fresh flavour. You can also grate the ginger in but I just want the scent not bitterness in each bite, that’s why I leave it in large chunks to remove later.
- Remove ground meat from package and give it a rinse in a colander with lemon juice, drain well
- Put some oil in a medium sized pot and heat on med/high heat
- Add meat, cook about 4 minutes
- Add onion, garlic, ginger, green onion and parsley, pinch of salt and pepper
- Mash with a potato masher while cooking to avoid lumps
- Lower heat and cover, cook for about 6 minutes
- Rinse coleslaw mix then add to pot, add salt and pepper to taste, pinch of paprika and cayenne pepper - mix
- Cover for another 3 mins or so to wilt coleslaw mix (if you like it crunchy, leave for less time)
- Add grated carrot and cilantro, cover and remove from heat
- Once mixture is cooled remove ginger and mix well – taste for seasoning
- Put a teaspoon of mixture in the centre of wonton wrapper
- Wet edges of wrapper with water
- Gather up edges to seal (like a parcel) – Make sure it’s sealed well, if you need to overlap the wrapper to seal, wet it first
- Once all wontons are wrapped up, fry in about 1 inch of oil – or use a deep fryer (I use canola oil)
- Fry on med high heat for about 2 minutes per side until browned
- Remove and drain on paper towels
- Serve with VH Sweet Chili Thai sauce
ENJOY!!

And I love tea. I don't like weird flavoured. I prefer orange pekoe, English breakfast, earl grey, and roobios. My daughter loves Liptons Cinnamon Chai tea but it is no longer made and we are almost out.

Ok... I'm going to ask a dumb question, but keep in mind I have an old fashioned coffee pot!

Are K cups a neutral term for any of those pod type coffee thingy's, or some for specific machines only?

That is DEFINITELY not a dumb question!! And I say that because I asked the same thing a while back (...someone maybe jody or clb?? set me straight :) )

If you have a Keurig machine you need K-cups.

If you have a Tassimo you need T-discs.

So, yes, each machine has it's own type of pod.

This has been going on with my son all week. I think because he's now 2. He REFUSES to sleep and I"m a sucker and cannot leave my crying child alone to cry it out.

So he's been falling asleep on me while DH and I have been watching Parks and Recreation on Netflix, LOL.

A few suggestions for you (In addition to being mom I am an Early Childhood & Infant Toddler Educator and these are things I have told parents over the years):

First of all BE CONSISTENT with whatever you do! Whatever you decide to try, stick with it for at least 2 weeks. If you need to change something make it a minor change.

Give warnings to prepare (ie. 10 minutes until bedtime or, like in our house, when Deigo is over it is time to get ready for bed)

Establish a routine and stick with it (ie. pyjamas, snack, brush teeth, story, lights out) no matter how much he fights you on it!

Try (and this is very difficult) not to let emotion lead the way! Be calm and matter of fact, which believe me I know is easier said than done but it works=)

When he realizes that you mean business and no matter how much he argues (my son Lucas is a screamer!) you are not changing your mind he will get it=) I'm not saying it will be quick or easy but if you stick with it he will do it.

You need to decide what works for your family too, what matters to you. Decide what you want most and start with that=) My husband and I let our boys take books, stuffies, quiet toys etc.. to bed with them. As long as they are in bed/in their rooms I don't mind if they are playing quietly!

With Lucas at first all we wanted was for him to stay in his room! So every night when he would open his door and come out my husband or I would just calmly say "it's bedtime" pick him up and put him back in his bed. And when he came out screaming and yelling at us we just did the same thing (the only thing at all that we would say is "it's bedtime") over and over again! I swear we did that 25 times the first night!! My hubby was ready to give up but I made him stick with it and after 5 days we were down to about 5 times. That worked for a long time then he wanted someone to sit with him so now my DH does Bible story with him then stays in the room with him (lays on the floor with a pillow reading his ebook:)) until he falls asleep (usually 15 minutes).

I know this is the answer but it would be so much better if you could come over and do it with DS, LOL :biggrin:

I'm just kidding. DH and I have both been battling colds, so we just don't have the energy right now, but I promise starting tonight it will get better!!

I do this when DH goes to play hockey Thurs nights. He's gone 7-10pm. So DD, DS and I crawl into our king sized bed, watch a show on Netflix (either Diego or My Little Pony, LOL), have a story, a prayer and go to bed and it's EASY. Then DH comes home and carries them back to their respective beds.

Yup, yup!!!

Although the exception would be a bag of Cheetos I mistakenly bought that changed your mouth blue/black when chewing them. THAT was wrong on many levels. It was never in Canada.

Oh wow, thanks! I had no idea. I have an "old fashioned" coffee maker.

From SDM? Anything from my WL
