Baby(Bear)sitting

We had to clear out some things in our guest room to get Lauren's 'new room' ready for her. One of which was the baby swing, which got temporarily placed in the living room, since we'll be needing it soon anyway. Well, Lauren was very interested and tried to climb in. I told her that her teddy bear Katie could ride in it instead - she buckled her in, and was so excited to turn on the swinging motion and to see the birdies spin around the top. She sat right down in her little chair, and watched intently for quite a while :)

Skillet Chicken

We TiVo 'America's Test Kitchen' on PBS, which I occasionally watch for some tips, etc. Stew likes the segment where they rate products/tools; I prefer the cooking segments. Sometimes the dishes are quite involved, but this segment on 'skillet recipes' included a demo on Skillet Chicken with Broccoli, Ziti, and Asiago Cheese which didn't look too bad. And even though it has some cream, one could argue it's somewhat healthy with the broccoli and all. And I was quite impressed with the flavor - the addition of fresh lemon juice really makes a difference.
