up early

Did you know there are Kleenex with anti viral dots? Read the tissue box or hang around a primary grade classroom and you will see. You must have to be a mom, a parent, or paying more attention than I.

My couch is netter and worse, not as frequent so I sleep,which is a great is a great improvement, but deeper on my lungs.

I took my nap, 4 hrs, since I slept 2 the night before and fell asleep around 10 and was up around 5. The tv is still messed up no abc till 10.?
Fortunately, it's back on at 7 tonight. Iritates me not to get recption.

I am making up lesson plans now. The teacher may be out for the week.

The mornings are cool but the afternoons are sunny and 70.

Today was red ribbon day, say No to drugs, an annual event. Everyone wears red (a gang color) and a majacian and ventrililoquist came and gave a lecture on healthy foods and things to frink. It was cute. Lots of puppet "'dunnmmies".

I have a parent helping me copy things. I added 4 more work sheets for last night's homework. We did a practice spelling test. Wed. is the real test. The kids all got vrazy and upset because I confused their words and groups and did the quiz different from their teacher. I got them calmed down, which calmed me down.

I barely had a voice today. I'm reading Nightshade by Susan Albert.

Baba Ghanoush

Ingredients:

1 large eggplant
garlic powder or fresh garlic
salt
pepper or hot sauce
fresh lemon juice (to taste)
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 scallion, chopped (optional)
Pita wedges, for serving


Instructions:

First wash eggplant. Pierce in a few places with a fork or knife. Bake eggplant in 205 ºC (400 ºC) oven until skin has almost collapsed and the eggplant is very soft. Let cool.

Scoop out and mash all of the flesh. Throw away the skin. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Adjust seasonings to taste. Refrigerate and then serve.

Yum. I make this a lot even with the peel adding only roasted red peppers without the scallion and lemon. Either works.
