indoor camping & jalapeno thingies

the girls were invited to a sleepover on tuesday night, so we let jaden set up his tent (that he just got for his bday) & "camp out" in the living room (cause it's freaking huge & wouldn't fit in his room).....he calls it his home & says he doesn't need his bed any more ~giggle~.....we did move it to his room last evening - we just didn't set it up all the way - and he doesn't mind.....he slept there again last night :0)

jaden reading by the light of his lantern, right before calling it a night

and last night, i made Pioneer Woman's Bacon-Wrapped JalapeƱo Thingies - mmmm, mmmm, good! of course, i'm the only one in the house that will eat them (actually, Corinn wanted to try them...cause well, she's like Mikey & will eat ANYTHING...but I didn't let her because of the heat)....i brought the rest in to work today to share

i used some banana peppers out of mom's garden (that are still pretty darn hot!) & i bought some regular jalapeƱos at the store.....i topped some with fresh pineapple pieces (for like the last 5 minutes of baking) - even better! :0)

How are the jalapeno's around your neck of the woods? They are talking of pulling them off the shelves here because of the salmonella scare. I love salsa. I had mexican at a little local place here on my bday. I was willing to take the risk ;)

Javi got a tent and sleeping bag for his bday. We'll have to test it out soon. It's nice that you have a big yard to camp in.

Whoops! Just saw that he was camping in the living room. That's where we'd planned to set up camp. We don't have a big a yard and the sprinklers get in the way.

i've heard about the salmonella scare with jalapenos, but they haven't pulled them here - and they say just don't eat them raw....of course, the ones out of my mom's garden were safe - and i just washed the store-bought ones really well, plus they were baked

actually, this pic is of him camping in his room - the tent is an 8'X9' hexagon tent that sleeps 2-3 people - we just set it up half way so it would fit in his room....works just as good :0) we considered the yard - but even tho our backyard is big, we live downtown - i'm not going to let jaden sleep outside all night...so instead of setting it up outside, and then taking it down to bring it in - we just started out inside ;0) but jaden can't wait for our next camping trip!
