the octopus

After we picked the kids up from school yesterday we went to a couple of stores. It was Friday and the kids get to drink coke for dinner. So our first stop was what we call the bull store. We call this because it is located close to a big sign that is the shape of a bull. Anyways every one but me stayed in the car so i can get my hot sauce that I was looking for . This store has some good hot sauce... it reminds me of Red Hot from the states. So I went in just to buy that and came out with $42 worth of hot sauce, plain tortilla chips and tortillas. I am covering the screen while I type. Ha! The lady at the register just smiled. Luke went on and on about how much I spent on chips. I told him I did what I had to do :) When you see something on the shelves that you like your take it and take it all! It could be months before those chips come back on that huge cargo ship. So I bought all they had!

Okay the second stop was the Casino... our supermarket. We went in just to buy shrimp and bought coconut, bread, T-bone steaks (which is gonna be dinner tonight), vimto (the kids choise of drink) and ... I know there was something else but can't remember right now. So when i started cleaning the shrimp I realized there was a small octopus in the bag. The kids were so excited. Luke wanted to make some sort of "creation" for it and then cook it. Since I was already frying the shrimp (coconut shrimp) I just dipped it in the batter (without coconut) and fried it. By the way i fried it in my new deep fryer. It is so cool. Anyways it was yummy and we had an awesome dinner.

Today Abby and I are going to a birthday party for a girl in her class at school. Not really sure where she is from. Maybe France.

Okay write more later.
I love all of yall and remember... always make sure the octopus is dead before you start playing with it.
