.... controversial Seattle Seahawks player Sherman is injured.
And as soon as Jason heard the name "Sherman", his reaction was "P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way".
:)
Watch "Finding Nemo" if you don't understand.
Or have a kid. ;)

Super Bowl
Dr. Phil says that a child's greatest influence is the same sex parent.
My daughters have watched the Super Bowl. (Caroline-- just the first quarter. Sarah-- is into the third with me now.) Sarah has been jumping up and down like a crazy woman, yelling, "Pass it, dummy!"
And Jack is on the computer. He couldn't care less.
Dr. Phil is SO wise.

But to be clear... Jason IS watching the game. He's just not as passionate as the females in this family. ;)

Super Bowl Saturday
Today I'm making dessert for tomorrow.
I headed back to The Pioneer Woman's website and searched for some of her favorite recipes. Tomorrow we're having chips and homemade salsa, sliders (Sloppy Joe sliders for the kids and I forget what the other one is called. I'm too lazy to look it up. Spicy Whiskey sliders?? IDK. Whiskey is in the title, though, for sure. ;) )
I was looking for a dessert that reminded me of football, and as I was browsing through her options, she has a cake called "Pig Cake". Pig... pigskin.... football. It's a loose connection but it worked for me.
As I was reading the recipe, I realized that it's essentially the Mandarin Orange cake my mom makes. But Mom's is a three layer undertaking that never turns out well for me. My dad, however, won a church cake contest with it once in Corsicana. The first and last time I ever remember Dad baking.
Pig Cake is a sheet cake. THAT I can handle! It's really yummy in the summer. It's a yellow cake mix with mandarin oranges. Crushed pineapple and whipped cream with a little vanilla pudding makes the frosting. You refrigerate it so it tastes refreshing... almost like you're doing something good for your body when you eat 3 pieces. :)
I should wait and post a pic once we cut into it, but I have no patience for that.
I'm working on not complaining as much... not on being more patient. ;)
The only one who will eat this with me is Jack. Maybe Caroline. But Jack LOVES Mandarin Orange cake so I'm counting on him to put this cake away before it goes bad.
For the rest of my family, I made a version of the Hershey Kiss cookies. This time I put refrigerated cookie dough in mini muffin tins, baked the dough for 7 minutes, pulled them out of the oven, and stuck candy in the middle.
They turned out pretty ugly. I sliced some of the dough too thin. I didn't spray some muffin cups enough with Pam. But they're yummy!!
As Jack told me, "Don't worry, Mom. It doesn't matter if it's ugly. It only matters if it's tasty."
And that's exactly why desserts don't stress me out... unless it's a holiday dessert or people are coming over. If desserts turn out badly, who cares?
Now if I mess up those sliders tomorrow, I'm gonna cry.
