One of the better successes

A few weeks ago I made a three meal rollover, turning roasted pork tenderloin and veggies into a veggie curry the following night, and a black bean chili soup the night after that.  We also had enough left overs to freeze another 2 meals with the curry and chili.  Tonight, given the lack of husbandly assistance I reheated the chili and was reminded again as to what an awesome recipe and how it actually makes the girls want to eat it with the addition of crushed tortilla chips.  Thank you Rachael Ray!  The recipes can be found on the show website if you look up pork tenderloin rollover.  Now note that my hubby is acutely anti beans so I made a smaller portion for him substituting hominy for the beans, it still worked tho my preference is the black bean variation.

We had a trying day with one of the warmer days of this year and me trying to potty train, I got to 3:30 then I just flat out gave up.  I will try again tomorrow, this time I'm going to work with Isabel then on Abigail.  I think Isabel can get it much faster than Abi and who knows maybe Abi will end up learning from her sister.  I hate holding Abi back but she really was having issues, and trying to watch for signs of potty on two kids will cleaning up accidents so wasn't working.  I really was hoping I could do them both at the same time but I think I'm going to just admit defeat and do it at their pace for my own sanity.  Or by the end of the week we are going to be having a very very grumpy Mummy and two confused kids.

Yesterday we did a trip to the Discovery Museum in Sausalito.  I discovered a fantastic drive, Dad I may point you in that direction, by accident...best not to ask really.  Anyway, packed lunch and stroller and we did OK.  I think Jennifer had a better time of it, but I'm still trying to learn and figure it out.  I really could use a small cooler bag that fits in the stroller for these kind of outings.  I love my Costco one but...it is large bulky and just doesn't fit with the stroller, and the stroller is a must for these kinds of trips when solo outing with the kids, I could have omitted the diaper bag but I was just not entirely comfortable with that idea for this outing but the reality is I could have gone back to the car for extra clothes etc if need be.  I guess I'm still a Mum in training...maybe I should get some L plates for my back when out and about hehe.
