Maclaren Stroller Recall

from Mamasource:
ALERT: Maclaren recalls 1 Million Strollers!
Stroller maker Maclaren announced a recall today that affects about 1 million umbrella strollers that can reportedly amputate or lacerate children's fingertips. So far, the company said there have been 12 amputations across the country. This happens when children get their fingers stuck in between the stroller's side hinges while it is being opened or closed.
from CNN:
The recall affects the following models, which range in price from $100 to $400: Volo, Triumph, Quest Sport, Quest Mod, Techno XT, TechnoXLR, Twin Triumph, Twin Techno, and Easy Traveller. Consumers can contact Maclaren at 877-688-2326 or visit www.maclaren.us/recall to receive a free repair kit.

Target Bag Credit + Toy Savings

Have you notice the bag credit Target is offering?

Look at the back of their add:

"Get 5 cents off your shopping trip for every reusable bag you bring in"

A great way to make your bargains at target go even further and have less waste floating around with all those plastic bags.

This week I purchased the Little People Airport from target for 19.99 (It goes for almost $60 on Amazon) after the $10 off coupon (see previous target post). At check out I got a coupon for $5 off $50 toy purchase and $5 off $75 purchase. So...if you are planning on buying several toys at target it may be worth it to buy one first for the coupon then go back for the others.

What's for Lunch?

Super Simple today. He just got hungry earlier than usual so I threw out some finger foods for him. Not the most well rounded of meals, but we'll make up for it tonight and with snack.

Adventures in a CSA: Sunchokes

Not only had I never had a sunchoke before, I had never even heard of them. Here is what I know about them now: they are also known as Jerusalem artichokes, they are a root, they are good for diabetics, they are yummy. You can read more about sunchokes here, here, or here.

Pictured are the raw sunchokes from my CSA.

I prepared them two different ways.

First I sliced and pan fried a few in some olive oil with salt and pepper. Then drizzled with a little lemon juice. Of the two ways I prepared them, we liked this way the best.

Next I tried roasting them some some olive oil, potatoes, onion, and rosemary. I think they would have been better had I sliced into them more, instead I left them in whole chucks and not much of the flesh was exposed. They also seemed to take longer to cook than the other vegetables I had them with, maybe again from the lack of cutting.

I would suggest giving these a try if you happen to see them.

Target Toy Coupons

Thanks to Collin at hip2save for posting this great link to target toy coupons. Loads of great, high value coupons. You should definately check it out!

Gratutities

I am grateful for...
--a visit from a good friend
--a fun Halloween
--my son starting to pee-pee on the potty

Random Thought....

Just bought my toddler socks today. What is the point of putting the socks in a resealable bag? Cheese I understand, but socks?!? My socks don't come in resealable bags, why would his?

Adventures in a CSA: Turnips

Turnips may not be that out there for some of you, but they were completely foreign to me. I don't know if I'd ever had them before.

I cooked these two beautiful turnips in veggie stock then served with butter, salt, and pepper. It was probably not the best way to make them, but it was a first try. My cooked photos didn't really turn out well, so you'll have to use your imagination, sorry.

Mamas Night Off

November 5 is National Men Make Dinner Day!!

OK, really, this is such a rare event we have to make a day of it, kind of sad. But a great excuse for a mama night off. I would say that picking up pizza on their way home doesn't count as cooking, but on the other hand I'll take what I can get. Grilling, Chili, a four course meal with flowers and candles, whatever it is your man does best, enjoy a night of his cooking. You can even find National Men Make Dinner Day Recipes here.

Hope you can have some fun with this one.
