Imagination

You know how people often say that kids are just as happy playing with the boxes stuff comes in as they are with the actual stuff? That kids don't need so much stuff and are better off using their imaginations?

Well I think there might be some truth to that. StinkyMan has all the toys, cars and trains in the world and a matching table and this is what he spend HOURS playing with:

He explained to me that the cans were some kind of machine and the pillow was a boat. I'm not sure what the function of the toy boat on top was supposed to be, but I've never seen a kid play the way he did with 10 cans of Diet Coke and a pillow. It's truly amazing how happy a child can be with a few simple things and a big imagination.

Seriously, I agree. I have no clue why parents spend SO much on stuff for their kids!! And get them SO much!!! Boggles my mind. DD played with my keys and an old bottle of vitamins (she loves to shake it) for almost an hour tonight. Love it.

Recipe of the Whenever I Get Around to Changing It.

Crockpot Tapioca Pudding (by request)

Ingredients:

2 quarts of 1% milk (half-gallon)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup small pearl tapioca (The only place I found it was Raley's)
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

In a four quart or larger size crockpot, combine the milk, sugar, and tapioca pearls. Stir well to mix. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours. You are looking for the tapioca to be soft and kind of slimy. The mixture will not be very thick, but that's how it's supposed to be. Even if it is thick, that's ok too.

In a separate bowl, mix the eggs with the vanilla. Take a 1/2 cup of the hot milk and tapioca mixture and whisk it into the egg bowl. Add another 1/2 cup of the hot milk and tapioca, and whisk that into the eggs, too. Then add yet another. Now you'll have a bowl of yellowy tapioca/egg mix.

Pour the contents of the egg/tapioca mix into the crockpot, and whisk until it is all well mixed.

Cover your crockpot and cook on high for another 30-45 minutes, or until the tapioca is pudding-like in consistency. Unplug and let it sit for about an hour to cool.

Ladle into serving-size bowls and chill in the refrigerator.

Or eat it hot hot hot right out of your crockpot. That's how we do it. So yummy on rainy Fall and Winter days.

Enjoy!
