First of all, I am sorry for not updating in the last week. The last 2 weeks have been draining -- emotionally and physically.
June 28th--NKOTBSB concert. While I am not really a fan of BSB, I did know a very few amount of their songs, they are great entertainers. My musical heart will always belong to NKOTB. It was the best Meet and Greet, other than Hildalgo (which I doubt will ever be topped!). The show was pretty amazing I must day! I've seen them now 6 times in the last 2 1/2 years and this is the first time I've seen them perform 'Please Don't Go Girl' in it's entire form. I mean, wow! Greatest single performance I have EVER, EVER seen! And 2nd row=awesome!!
June 30th-- (as blogged earlier) Baby Dubensky's Nana passed away. She battled Alzhemier's and Breast Cancer for several years. We laid her to rest on July 5th.
July 7th --Baby Dubensky had 2 milestones!!! According to Daddy, he rolled over on his own. (For the record, I personally did not observe this until today 7-13). He also ate rice cereal for the first time. On July 9 & 10 he even ate the entire bowl!!!
July 11th -- Baby Dubensky had his 4-month old well baby check and 2nd round of DTaP shots. His doctor said he's making great gains! He is actually above average in length. Considering he was in the 25 percentile when he was born, that is huge!! He's 25 1/4 inches, when Daddy was 1 year he was 29 1/2 inches -- there may be some hope for Baby after all!!!!
Today, July 13th is Baby Dubensky's Poppa's 61st birthday!!
During the summer, people often have a barbeque and/or cookout. If you are like most, you over buy food and have tons of left overs. Here is an idea for 'the day after'.
Ingredients:
1 to 2 cups Barbeque cut into bite sized pieces (whatever is left over: beef, chicken or pork)
1/2 to 2/3 cup BBQ sauce of your choice
1/4 to 1/2 of an onion, thinly sliced
1/3 to 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1 to 1 1/2 cup baby spinach
1 to 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 canister of refrigerated pizza dough
Preheat the oven (we even use the toaster oven) to 400 degrees. Follow the directions on the pizza dough for a prebake. Typically, this means 5 minutes in the oven. In a dry skillet, saute the onions and mushrooms until the onions start to become tender. Remove from heat. Add a little water to the pan and add the meat, heat through. Once the dough is par-cooked, spread on the sauce, add the onion/mushroom mixture, then the spinach, followed by the meat and lastly add the cheese. Cook for another 5-6 minutes.
