It was 3:30 and I had nothing planned for dinner. Hell, I hadn't even given it a thought until just then. Jordan had the car and I was not in the mood to hoof it 1.5 miles each way with Ez to the grocery store.
I went to TastyKitchen and the first Featured Recipe was this Santa Fe Corn Chowder. I checked the ingredients and I had everything. Right down to the giant bag of organic frozen sweet corn in my freezer. Yeah, it was a good price at Costco. Shut up.
So I made it. It was about the fastest soup I've ever made. And it was really great. I used vegetable broth, obviously, and cayenne pepper instead of chili powder. Remember when I said I had all the ingredients? I forgot about that one. Turned out awesome with the cayenne. Do it.

I mentioned at some point that we'd mostly settled on Grandma El's Diaper Cream as our (re: Ezra's) butt cream. Then I found CJ's BUTTter. I love this. It has no petroleum in it, which is nasty stuff & I have a hard time understanding why it's even used anymore. It's soft and smooth and awesome for his sensitive little tush. I got him the unscented, obviously, but I'm thinking of getting myself one of the scented ones -- because they sound so great and I've been using this stuff on my own hands/elbows/etc. So, if you're in the market for something like this, give it a shot.

Here's Mister Man today. He's been fighting sleep for the past few days, so this face on that I've come to see a lot.
But eventually, he succumbed to the power of milk & snuggles.
