Re-branding

I have been thinking about rebranding the last couple of weeks. Changing my name, and moving to wordpress. I've been fractured fairy tales since day one. Way back in 2007 when I first started writing, just for fun, as my own personal diary.  I don't really know what I would call myself.  Maybe  "Alana's Little Adventures"  "Adventures of Alana"  "Little Adventures"  "Alana Loves Wine" 

I dunno. But I feel like it's time for a change.

Duck Tales (woo-hoo)

Some time last week we noticed that there were ducks in the neighborhood pool behind our house. We had only seen them a couple times, and never really paid them much attention. Earlier this week they were on the other side of my fence in the early morning, eating whatever ducks eat. So I took Evey outside and we looked at the ducks, and tossed them some old hamburger bun pieces. 

I remember reading somewhere that bread isn't that great for ducks, so on my trip to the commissary that day I grabbed a bag of cracked corn. 

The ducks quickly became our friends, they loved the cracked corn.
Sadly though later that day some mean kids came by and were throwing sticks and chasing the ducks. (sad face) I asked the kids to be nice, but I didn't see the ducks again for several days.
Today I was thinking about the ducks again, hoping they had found somewhere safe from annoying kids, and I saw them again, they were back in the pool! Hurray! 

But it gets better. 

Later in the afternoon, as we were getting ready to go on our daily walk, I noticed something in the backyard..... 

I think it took every ounce of Evelyn's willpower to not run up to the ducks. But I fed them more cracked corn and they were so very happy to be in a safe fenced area. 

They have come and gone all day, going between the pool and my yard.

I am so glad they have found a place they can hang out and eat bugs and the corn I give them, without being tormented.
It's also cool for Evey, it's like a little zoo in our own backyard. 

Right now we are calling them mama duck and daddy duck, but I think we need to give them real names if they are going to stick around.

Pinterest Recipe Success!

please excuse my sad iPhone pictures. My lost the charger to my camera. 

I have to share this with you.
I made this recipe tonight.

Chicken and Sun Dried Tomato Sauce

And it was AMAZING. 

Even Eveyln liked it! Which is awesome because she's been very picky this week. 

The only thing I did different was I added about double the garlic, and I used home made turkey stock instead of chicken broth. And I may have used a little more butter than the recipe called for. 

Served with fresh crunchy bread and steamed veggies.
I will make this again for sure.
The sauce would also go good with pork chops, or Paul suggested on pasta.
