Daddy’s DNA

When it comes to completing her homework, Rascal #2 is a real slacker and I’d rate her 1/10. I am already freaking worried how she’ll cope in a Chinese primary school in 2 years’ time…. worried about how she’s going to wake up at 6am and get ready by 6:40am, worried about the homework load, discipline and all that jazz related to a Chinese medium school. Hmm, perhaps I should not worry and tai chi the worry to the hubs coz it’s his bright idea that his girls must study in a Chinese school.

When it comes to homework, rascal #2 does not seem to have the slightest worry and anxiousness that she may not complete them on time to be passed up to her teacher the next day.

Here, she was only willing to do her homework at 11pm after returning home from an outing the whole day.

Check out the wall clock pointing to 11:10pm.   It was only at that godly hour that she was willing to sit still and seriously complete her pile of homework without any fuss.I think she definitely has all her daddy’s DNA.

Hormel Chili and Dinty Moore

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hormel Foods. All opinions are 100% mine.

For weeks, the girls have been pestering their daddy to bring them to Wendy’s for lunch. Their wishes were granted when daddy brought us all to Wendy’s several weeks back. When I tasted Wendy’s beef chili with beans, I felt nostalgic. Many aeons ago, a friend of mine gave me several cans of hormel chili with beans and Dinty Moore beef stew. I was hooked on them instantly. I remember putting the Hormel chili on top of my hot toast and down it with a mug of hot chocolate. I was so hooked on the beef chili with beans that I had it for dinner for 3 days straight. The next 2 days, I had Dinty Moore’s beef stew with vermicelli! I was in college then. I am still hunting for Hormel’s chili at our local supermarkets here but have no luck in finding them.

Hormel Chili and Dinty Moore products have been around for 75 years. Dinty Moore has remained the number one selling stew in America while Hormel is the nation’s leading chili brand. They are one of America’s tastiest comfort food, right at everyone’s convenience. Dinty Moore products and Hormel chili taste absolutely delish in harty meal recipes such as Chili Cheese Dip, Easy Shephard’s Pie And Chili, Chili Ole Dip among other great tasting recipes.

If you remember in the 80s, pro football player Fran Tarkenton was tapped to promote Hormel chili. Your granddad and grandma would probably still remember that the characters Jiggs and Maggie from “Bringing Up Father” were used in Dinty Moore advertisements in the 30s.

If you are like me who’s always trying to come up with great tasting recipes for my 3 fussy kiddos, you have to check out www.hormelrecipes.com. There are plenty of tasty, healthy and quick-to-make ideas for all three meals of the day.
