This past Sunday I made a roasted veggie dish with an avacado based dressing and a side of cauliflower rice. Suprisingly, it was a hit with DH!
So much so, he actually requested that I repeat it with the veggies I hadn't previously cut up and the leftover avocado. I did - didn't turn out quite as good, but still got a thumbs up from DH.
The only thing is ... cauliflower is EXPENSIVE! I paid $3 for one head, and that made barely enough "rice" for two servings. It was *really* good though!
I hope I can find it for much less than that. Could become a staple dinner item! (Maybe experiment with making pizza with it.)

I bought a pair of hair clippers from Aldi's a few weeks ago with the intention of cutting DH's hair. I've watched a few Youtube videos .... Why is cutting my hair so much simpler, yet in the salon, because of my length, I'd pay more??
If anyone has links to good videos of the most simple way to do a clipper hair cut, I'd love to see them. Or if you could tell me how you do it? I probably only have one chance to convince DH to let me do this ... so want to make sure I do it well!

Yesterday morning I woke up after just a few hours sleep, but was quite awake. Browsing FB I noticed some strange posts being put on the wall of a woman I'd met while getting my librarian degree in Texas.
I clicked on her page, and to my horror and dismay, I saw that she had been murdered (in front of their 5 year old daughter) by her husband, who then killed himself!
According to the article they were deeply in debt - student loans, mortgages, credit cards, etc., and were about to file bankruptcy.
She worked as a librarian at a university - not sure what her husband did.
You hear about this kind of thing on the news, and it's horrendous enough. But to actually KNOW someone this happened to? Wow.
The woman's name was Kate. I didn't know her all that well, just a few friendly chats when we were both on campus at the same time and some interactions in a few classes we took at the same time. till, from that little bit of knowing, she seemed like a truly quality person who deeply loved her little girl.
Lillian. 
Her world has pretty much exploded at 5 years old.
It shows you really don't know what is going on in peoples lives. I just wish they would have reached out to someone for help ...

Almost forgot. Tomorrow begins my 5 day countdown to my allergist appointment. Wish me luck (and low allergen counts for the next few days!)

Sure hope you don't suffer much as you count down for the allergy test.
Your comment about the price of your hair cut costing more...face it, women pay more for everything. DH gets underwear...better made and far cheaper than the plain panties I buy. Even at Kohl's, he can find a shirt for a few dollars on clearance and yet the blouses I find are still $15 or more on clearance.

So far, okay on the allergies front. Maybe the pollen count is down right now or something ..? Just have to make it to Tuesday.
Even if I do have to pay $3 for the cauliflower, it's worth it if it gets DH to eat more veggies.
