I remember, right before I go to sleep...Oh! And a Tip!

Believe it or not, but I DO remember that I have a blog! We are just at a point in our lives that blogging isn't a big priority . My husband just graduated from college with his B.S. in Engineering Technology. He was a non traditional student, so he already had some impressive experience, and he has had a relevant job for the past 2 years. But the job market is so tough! He has applied for over 60 jobs, but that has resulted in only 4 interested responses and 2 interviews. But we are getting better and better at the application process. That's right, WE. Most of my spare 'net time is spent looking for jobs, looking up companies, doing research on products and areas, so when DH comes in from work, I can give him a list of suggestions. Then I help him with suggestions on how to reword our basic cover letter (which I wrote) to tailor it to that company. DH is brilliant, but when you have so many to do, it can be hard to seem "fresh" and "innovative" over and over and over again. And now we are in the process of moving into a family-owned house because we can't afford to live off his $100 a week he gets from his "college" job. So, we have to pack up all our stuff, get rid of all his "project" junk, find homes for a few of our dogs (we have 4) and some of our cats (we have 4, but it's not our fault!).

But what has this meant for our diets? They have been pretty much trashed. We have "cheat" on nearly a dialy basis. And DH and Isak just deal with the consequences. Though DH is learning what he can and cannot have. For instance, he can easily tolerate some stuff with short-lived minimal discomfort(2 Sonic Breakfast Burritos) while other things cause him agony for days (2 belgian waffles). We have been surviving on beans and Cheese Toasties, and man are we getting tired of them!

I do have a tip for you though: If you lightly toast a corn tortilla on both sides, it will NOT crumble! Just like with the Cheese Toasties, preheat a pan (preferrably a cast iron pan) on medium for a dry heat. You can also do this in a toaster oven or regular oven, but I have not tried it that way. You just want to barely crisp the exterior of the tortilla. Afterwards, it tastes like a pita bread! Last night we enjoyed them with Chicken Salad and Pimento Cheese! Before, I thought it was the melted cheese that was holding the tortilla together, I'm so glad to know we now have more options!

Now, as to DH's job hunt: He went in this morning to talk with the VP of the company he works for to see if they an find a full-time "career" position for him, and I will find out how that goes later I guess, he forgot his phone this morning! Then he is supposed to have an interview with another company a few hours away from us and he has a recruiter trying to get him to send in a resume for a job that would take us to the unpleasently cold part of the country. But DH knos the company and LOVES the product, it would be a dream job for him! Sooooooo....yeah, just a little bit of stress here, not knowing where we will be at the end of the month!
