I’m never sure how much personal stuff to write on this blog, but every now and then I feel compelled to share. And so right now, even though I’d rather be writing gift guides and assorted other nonsense, I’m just going to rant. Emmet has Asperger’s Syndrome. Look it up. It’s a disorder related to Autism, but sufferers are said to be “high functioning.” Just looking at him, you’d never know that anything was wrong. But if you spend some time with him, you’ll see that he has trouble with social functioning. Asperger’s sufferers (they call themselves “Aspies”) aren’t good at self-reflection, and they aren’t good at picking up on social cues. They're also (in most cases) uncoordinated, and they tend to have a variety of tics (physical and behavioral). On top of this, Emmet has an anxiety disorder. Emmet’s life is tough. He is in trouble constantly at school because of the little tics that he’s developed, and because of his anxiety, and because he is afraid of going to the bath
don't know about chicken, but I made crab and shrimp spaghetti in honor of our trip to Houston, and it was great! (Costco crab was very high quality -- HEB cocktail shrimp not so much.)
ReplyDeleteHow did you make the sauce? I now feel my life will not be complete until I figure out how to replicate Mama's Spaghetti.
ReplyDeleteI love Pioneer Woman's recipes but have not made this one. I would substitute a store rotisserie chicken for ease and time (also, I don't like boiled chicken, but that's just me). LOL
ReplyDeleteIf you make it, be sure and post and let us know your verdict. Love your site.
