The Problem With Pesto



Once Paxton was in bed, Aixa and Susanne spent the rest of the evening catching up. Neither of them even thought to take a breath the entire time. They had to force themselves to go to bed when the clock struck 2:00 am, that was until Susanne realized that she needed to try to stay awake a little longer for Paxton's next NG feeding at 3:00 am. Bummer.

The morning came too early, but having Aixa there made it that much easier to get up. The plan was to go to the pool today, but it was overcast. Instead, they hung out at the house and got alot of playtime in with Paxton. Aixa was a big help. She made Susanne breakfast, which included scrambled eggs, bacon, and bagels. She also watched Paxton while Susanne got in the shower.

The day flew by even though they didn't do much of anything. They were able to muster up enough energy to go to the grocery store. Susanne wanted to try out a new recipe that she had found. She was hoping that it would be tasty.

Aixa started on dinner while Susanne got Paxton situated for the evening. Everything was going well until it was time to make the pesto. Aixa quickly found out that the blender was not the best choice to mix the ingredients for the pesto. Everything was sticking together and not mixing as well as they would have liked. Susanne decided to see if the Magic Bullet was the better choice. As they were trying to switch the pesto over to the new container, the spoon got stuck on the blade of the blender. They both struggled to try to get the spoon free, but they were finally successful. The next challenge came when they tried to unscrew the bottom of the blender to get the remainder of the pesto out of there. It took them at least five minutes with alternating between each other to finally be successful. The Magic Bullet completed the job and they were ready to rock and roll. The much anticipated dinner was well worth the wait. It was delicioso!

Even though it was late, they decided to watch a movie. They stayed awake just long enough to eat some yummy cookies for dessert and then it was all over from there.
