2 Days in a Row!

Yep. Two days in a row I have tackled things I pinned on Pinterest.  Yesterday was crafts and today recipes.  I've discovered these are a HUGE stress relief for me.  Today I had a job interview that I was just a tad bit stressed out about.  Okay.  I was maybe a bit more stressed out than a tad.  I spent much time praying about it and have a lot of peace about the job itself but the nerves come in when wondering do they think I'm right for this job.  Oh well.  I followed my hubby's advice, along with a few others, and I was just myself.  Hopefully, I'm what they're looking for.

Now.  Back to my experiments today.  This morning before my interview I baked a loaf of banana nut bread using this recipe.  I took it out of the oven right before I ran out the door to my interview so I didn't get a picture before my husband dove in.  By the time I got a pic. everyone had tried it.  Needless to say, it was a huge hit.  The only thing I did differently from the recipe was add about 1/3 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips.  The husband did request I eliminate them next time, though and cut a bit of the sweetness.

Tonight I decided to try a recipe that I've tried once before - sweet and sour chicken with fried rice.  It was such a hit the last time I couldn't wait to make it again.  I did try a different recipe for shrimp sauce but I'm not sure it is a keeper, yet.  I'm going to try it again because I think I may have done something wrong.  You can find the links to the recipes here:  sweet and sour chicken, fried rice and shrimp sauce.

 I took a picture of the rice before I added the soy sauce and forgot to take another one.  Oops!

All in all, not a bad day for me.  I work Wednesdays through Fridays so tomorrow is back to work for me.  I love my job and the people I work with. Now you're wondering why I interviewed for a different job.  More on that later, though.  For now I get to spend my mornings with the cutest little 2 year olds!
