年末の食材掃除/Big Clean Up Challenge

今年もあと１ヶ月で終わってしまうなんて信じられないあっという間の２００９年。せっかくだから２０１０年を新しく迎えられるように、いろいろ 買ってごちゃごちゃしている食材棚と冷凍庫にある物を使い切ってみる事にします。外から買って来れる物は、新鮮な野菜、乳製品、とタンパク質の取れるお肉 や魚だけ。(特別に使い切らなくていい物はわざわざ日本から送ってもらった食材などの貴重品...)毎日、家にある物を使ってご飯作りに挑戦！
I've decided to give myself a challenge this month since it's the end of year 2009 and our food pantry and freezers deserve a good clean up/use up! This means that I am allowed to buy fresh produces like Veggies, Dairies and Proteins, etc.. but pretty much everything else needs to come from my pantry shelf and what's in the freezers:-) (Only exception is my Japanese food products as some of them were actually shipped from Japan since I can't find them here so I am in no hurry to use these up...) I'm gonna be creative with my menu this month and I will be reporting back to you with what kind of dishes I can come up with! Feel free to join my end of year pantry-freezer clean up challenge!

今の食材棚の写真です。頑張って使い切りまーす！
This is a picture of how the pantry shelf looks... Hope it will look much emptier in a month!

今日の献立は昨日作ったカレーの残り物だから作るとしてもサラダとご飯ぐらいかな...１日目はラクチン、ラクチン！
Today's dinner menu is left over Curry Rice I made last night so I don't have to cook at all tonight except some Japanese rice and salad... Piece of cake for 1st day!

昨日何となく風になりかけかなーっと思っていたら案の定マディソンの鼻も一日中出っぱなし...　可哀想なマディソンいつも一緒にいるからいろいろ移っちゃうんだよね：(
今、 リンゴを食べているマディソンなんだけどふじ大好きです：）パパとママにそっくり！やっぱり野菜をすり潰したのより果物の方が嬉しそうに食べてます。あと 最近、うつぶせになって寝たりしてるんだけど、ちゃんと息をしているか心配だから無理に仰向けにしてあげます...うつぶせの寝顔凄い可愛いんだけどね〜 また写真撮りまーす！
Yesterday I wasn't feeling 100% and I could tell Madison wasn't either because her nose was running all day... Poor baby! I pass everything off to her since we are together pretty much all the time! As for her solid food progress, she just finished eating Fuji Apple and oh she loved it! Just like her Mommy and Daddy:-) She definitely enjoys her fruits more than veggies... Oh another thing is she started to like sleeping or laying on her belly and Dave and I worry that she is not breathing well by sleeping on her belly so I roll her back on her back but oh her sleeping on her belly look is so cute and just so real... I will try to capture it soon to share with you!

マディソンの写真無しのブログを書いても誰も読んでくれないような気がするので２、３枚載せときまーす...
Well, I don't think I can get away with no pictures of Madison after all this blog was supposed to be about her so here are some pictures of our star...
