brave

this week when i was at aldis i noticed they had boca meatless burgers. they were about half the price of the regular grocery store (i really dont' know why i know that but i do.) so being the healthy one that i am, i decided at that price i could give them a try.

last night hubby was gone over supper. so i roasted squash, zucchini, mushrooms, and peppers in italian dressing and tried to figure out what to fix with them. i decided on hamburgers for the kids and that i would try the boca burger. the one i bought was soy protein.

once i got past the odd color of it, i loaded it with reduced fat provolone cheese and A1 sauce and slapped it on a bun. before i could really think about what i was eating i took a bite. honestly, it wasn't too bad!! i don't know that i would eat them daily, but when the family has hamburgers i could probably deal with this.

mapboy and princess enjoyed their real burgers. although i might argue that because they will only eat the frozen patty kind. mapboy and i chowed on the veggies and princess ate some strawberries she picked from our patch.

so for any of you out there debating the boca burger - it really isn't all that bad!!! i'd even eat it again. my mom will be so proud of me:)

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
