For the week of 1/12-1/18/09
Weekly Winners is the brainchild of the wonderfully Sarcastic Mom, Lotus

We have weekly winners, and losers (tied to 2 crimes)

The winners are, of course, food.  Only a couple of shots this week – I got lazy in dinners this week (won’t happen again, – I’m becoming addicted to foodie blogs)

The English via an American:

Evidence that homemade is better than storebought –
English via an American is YUM:

Carrot Soup – Holy COW was this amazing –
w/ homemade butter rolls:

And now.  There were a rash of crimes yesterday at Casa dePerfect.  Toes were maliciously attacked by seemingly innocuous items around the house.

Suspect #1

The firetruck/ambulance.  Up until yesterday a favorite toy often fought over by the girls.  Why then would it viciously attack.  Jumping out of Angel’s arms and landing on her big toe – causing much bleeding?

Results of the crime:

The suspect is still undergoing interrogation for it’s crime.  Judge Mommy says it should be put away for life.  Judge Daddy says such a punishment is too harsh.  Results?  Well, it’s still up in the air.

The next vicious attacker went after the matriarch of the family.  Innocently, and understandably, performing the task of laundry as she does every Saturday.  She put the laundry soap in, then back on its shelf.  She took the fabric softener and did the same.  When she returned the fabric softener to its (six-foot high) shelf though, out of nowhere the suspect attacked.

Suspect #2

Apparently Mr. Pyrex decided to determine which was truly unbreakable – himself or Mommy Perfects toe.  For it leapt from the daring height of six feet, landing squarely and harshly on Mommy’s toe.  At first seeming nothing more than major pain, it developed three hours later into a brutally nasty bruising.

The results:

The suspect is still undergoing psychiatric evaluation to determine if it was a suicide attempt – or an attack.  Either way, Momma de Perfect will not get her baking done today, or her cleaning, or finish up at the grocers because today I cannot move it.

No pictures of the actual injuries to Angel’s toe because she refused to hold still for evidence photos.  She claimed pain and kept jerking her toe away.  Given how my toe feels, I tend to believe her.
