Thirteen Random things about Twisted Cinderella

I was really impressed with American idol last night. I was moved to tears (or at least damp eyes) by a few of the performances. The daycare that Little Princess attends had a incident today. A four year old child was upset with a change that was made and left the daycare. He walked out, and was found at LEAST 45 minutes later wandering down the highway "walking home"! Now when I put my child in your care, the one and only thing I am interested in is that you keep my child safe. HOW COULD YOU LET HIM WALK OUT!? There is a bell on the door when it opens. I don't know how it happens but it scares the heck out of me. And if that were my kid, I would be as pissed as hell! A couple of my friends are were interviewed by me. Go on over and visit her: Shelly. I found a cool recipe site that I thought I would share. I used the search feature to find recipes suitable for little Princess. I had some eggplant in my fridge and I thought I would figure out something new to do with it. I went to Allrecipes.com and found this recipe that I made. I didn't take a pic as it wasn't that pretty. But it was really yummy!: Roasted Eggplant and Mushrooms Cook Time: 45 Minutes Ready In: 55 Minutes Yields: 2 servings INGREDIENTS: 1 medium eggplant, peeled and cubed 2 small zucchini, cubed 1/2 small yellow onion, chopped 1 (8 ounce) package mushrooms, sliced 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste 1/2 cup water 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon dried basil salt and pepper to taste DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). 2. Place eggplant, zucchini, onion and mushrooms in a 2 quart casserole dish. In a small bowl combine the tomato paste with the water, and stir in garlic, basil, salt and pepper. Pour over the vegetables and mix well. 3. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until eggplant is tender, stirring occasionally. Add water as necessary if vegetables begin to stick; however, vegetables should be fairly dry, with slightly browned edges. I was watching Rachel Ray and she actually had a show where the entire show appeared to be vegan or at least easilty altered to be so. I have just found the website, and I am really excited to go check out the recipes. I can easily switch the cheese out for a soy cheese and I am pretty sure maple syrup is vegan. I LOVE her show and it is nice to stumble on a vegetarian freindly day. Looking through her site, I also found out that she is scheduled to have another vegetarian day on May 1st. Here is the info I found: Episode TM1227 AIR TIMES: May 01, 2007 6:00 PM ET/PT May 08, 2007 2:30 PM ET/PT No Meat, No Worries Rachael is making a hearty vegetarian meal that will satisfy the hungriest meat eaters as well. I got a fun email which let me to a site that you can use to guess how tall will your child be. I am thrilled to have discovered I can get Little Princess to eat a few new foods if I just put a little cheese on top. She loves cheese so now we are experimenting with what foods I can get her to eat. So far: chicken, chicken soup, spaghetti, tuna melt and we are still going. As long as she eats plenty of apples to counteract all that cheese I am not worried. The calories don't matter, she is the tiniest kid I have ever seen. On that note, I also found a site that you can use to get lunches your kid will eat. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! Leave a comment and I will add you here
