Yesterday morning, Molly had her tonsils and adenoids removed. In by 7am, out the door by 8:30. Talking almost normally by Noon. WTF?!?!?! Didn't a Tonsillectomy used to involve a week in the hospital or something??? She'll be laid up on the couch for at least a week, probably two... but she's enjoying the non-stop popsicles :)

Is this healthy?

Trying to decide if my new recipe is healthy or not...

One pound of ground MEAT (hamburger, turkey, pork, whatever)
One onion, diced.
Three tablespoons of Olive Oil
One small can of Tomato Paste
One can of Diced Tomatoes
FOUR CUPS OF PEELED, CUBED ZUCCHINI

Brown the meat and set it aside. In the pan that you browned the meat, put in the olive oil and the onions, saute till soft, then toss in all the zucchini with a bit of salt and pepper. Cover and let simmer till all the zucchini is soft, then add your tomato paste, diced tomatoes and browned ground beef, stir it up and mash it up till you no longer see any chunks of zucchini. The zucchini mooshes in to a smooth saucy texture that helps the tomato stuff spread and thicken nicely :) From here you can go one of two ways - add chili powder and cumin, it becomes Chili. Add oregano and garlic, it becomes Spaghetti Sauce.

SO VERSATILE! And a great use of all that Zucchini!

Instagram

After a long story involving tonsils, boredom and a Father sacrificing his prize electronic possession for his sick little girl, I now have a brand-new Google Nexus 7 with a *pretty bitchin'* camera in it (the only thing my Kindle Fire was lacking). And so of course I joined Instagram so I can enjoy pictures of the stuff that other people are drinking.

It's very enjoyable! Quick photo editing, immediate posting ability, cross-posting to several social networks... but not to LiveJournal :(

Only way I have found to get an image from Instagram to LJ is to cross-post it to Facebook, then grab the URLO of the image from *there*, and then post it here like this:



To quote the inept lady from the Perfect Pancake Maker infomercial who burns herself while trying to make pancakes the old-fashioned way, THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY!!!

From the lj Android app yaaaay!

Okay... it's super-easy to post pics to LJ from the LJ app... but what I really wanted was an automatic cross-post option in Instagram. oh well, this will work :-)
