365: Day 195


7/15/13: Another heat wave, another splash park.

*****

Cook's notes: I took a break from cooking on Sunday night, so I was ready to test out a new and easy frittata combo for dinner tonight. It was delicious, I will definitely make this again!


Frittata with Potatoes, Spinach and Goat Cheese

CATEGORIES
 vegetarian, breakfast

INGREDIENTS

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1/4 cup chopped onions or shallots
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • Handful of fingerling potatoes, thinly sliced into “coins” (enough to cover the bottom of a 12" skillet)
    • 2 cups fresh Swiss chard or spinach, washed and roughly chopped
    • 8 eggs
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • freshly grated Parmesan or ricotta salata or goat cheese
    • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs (such as parsley, mint, or basil)

INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Preheat broiler. In a large cast iron (or ovenproof) skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onions, salt and pepper and cook about 1 minute being careful to nestle the garlic in the onions so it doesn’t burn. Add potatoes and cook another 5 minutes until they are crispy and mostly cooked through. Add chard/spinach to the pan and stir until leaves wilt. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, milk and herbs. Pour eggs into the pan and stir lightly to make sure chard and potatoes are evenly distributed. Let cook without stirring about 2 minutes. Top with cheese of choice before transferring to the oven and broil until eggs are cooked on top, 2-3 minutes. Cut into pizza-like wedges.

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe...

Sickness Update

We saw the pediatrician again this morning - it was our 4th visit in as many weeks. Both kids have an antibiotic-resistant sinus infection. Zoe also still has an ear infection after 5 days of meds; thankfully Silas' double ear infection is finally gone after the 10-day round of amoxicillin. While in the waiting room, we noticed that a rash had appeared on Silas' arms and trunk. Since this coincided with being on meds, Dr. Rundquist had to assume it might have been related to the amoxicillin. Silas was going to get a non-amox antibiotic for the continued sinus infection, and because it's easier to have them on the same meds they were both prescribed Suprax. Silas' O2 saturation was also down a little and he was wheezing during the exam. Apparently he also has broncholitis and he'll be treated with albuterol. He was given a nebulizer treatment in the doctor's office that he tolerated amazingly well at the end of a very long doctor's visit (we were there for 2 ...
