Jalapeno corn casserole Ingredients: 4lbs corn (frozen, fresh, or canned) 3 jalapenos 8 oz cream cheese 1/4 c butter 1/2 c milk salt and pepper to taste optional crumb topping: (it's yummy but I usually don't do it because it doesn't do well as leftovers - gets mushy) 1 c bread crumbs 1/2 c melted butter Directions: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese, butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir continually until melted and smooth. Set aside. Wearing gloves, de-seed and cut in half 3 jalapenos. Place in boiling water for one minute. Remove, finely chop, and add to sauce. Mix corn into sauce, and place mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish. Add crumb topping if desired. Bake 30-45 min (depending on whether your corn was frozen or not) at 350F. Crumb topping directions: Mix melted butter with bread crumbs and sprinkle over the top of the casserole before baking.

Jalapeño corn casserole. Mild jalapeño flavor, not too spicy for the kids, creamy and delicious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. Around here they are intended as community outreach, and they are happy to have non-attenders come. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is he getting enough sleep or is he still tired in the morning? Maybe he just doesn't need a lot of sleep; some people don't. If that's the case I would get him audiobooks and soft headphones and let him fall asleep whenever...but no getting out of bed after 9:00 (or whatever works for you). If going to sleep at 11 is leaving him sleep-deprived, I'd consult a doctor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am looking for a job as an ESL teacher, either at a college or at an independent ESL program. I have a Masters in Linguistics but no TESOL or TOEFL certificate. I finished my degree 10 years ago. Here is the problem: Since graduation, DH and I have been working for a non-profit organization. I have been technically employed (they split our family salary 90/10 DH/me for SS reasons), but I have not actually done any linguistic job during those 10 years. I have lived cross-culturally and learned other languages, but not done any translation, teaching, or linguistic research. How do I put my current employment on an application that requires me to list a job title, responsibilities, and salary? I feel like it would be more substantively true to say I have not been employed, but that isn't legally true and I don't want to get in trouble. Do I list it as a job with no responsibilities other than living in a foreign country, language learning, and raising my kids? Our partnership level is so low I need to seek outside employment while my husband continues to work full time for our mission, but I am really struggling with how to enter the workforce with no real experience but an on-paper job. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree you need to amp up the supervision, both physically and in regards to electronics. But that is just a stop-gap while you get to the root of the issue. Is she feeling unappreciated? unloved? unwanted? Why does she have a problem with the new boyfriend? Maybe there is a real issue there, or maybe she just needs reassurance that she still comes first in your life. Is she having issues with entitlement and not wanting to do her share of chores, or are you actually requiring too much of her? I think piling on consequences without getting to the underlying reasons for her behavior will just increase her resentment and make the problem worse.

I just use the silicone liners standing up on a cookie sheet without a muffin tin. They work great, and cleanup is easy!

DD and I each got a Fire when they were $30 in July. They are so, so slow. Not even close to what my iPad can do. Also it's annoying that they don't play well with Google. They are great for reading kindle books and ok for listening to Audible audio books. Other than that I'm not impressed. Next time we will go with a regular android tablet.

If it were me, I'd give him solids, the few ounces of breastmilk, and water, and then nurse him when you get home.

Almonds. Little packs of hummus and pretzels or crackers. Any kind of trail mix with nuts and dried fruit. Fruit leather. Gogurt tubes that have been frozen so they are still cool at lunchtime (put in a ziplock in case it opens or sweats). Tuna pouches (they store flat and don't have any liquid to drain off) with crackers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

YOUR Scripture doesn't. But what if someone else's Scripture does? Does that make it ok for them to discriminate?

TranquilMind, I know this has been explained to you several times, but it doesn't seem to be sinking in. This is very frustrating because you seem to be a reasonably intelligent person, so it seems as though you are just pretending to not understand, which is a pet peeve of mine. In your opinion, homosexuality is proscribed by Scripture and interracial marriage is not. Fine. But what about the person who has a sincere religious belief (doesn't have to be Biblically sound, since it's about the sincerity of the belief, not its conformity with Christianity) that different races should not mix. Should they be allowed to run a whites-only swimming pool? Or imagine that you are on a road trip and stop at a hotel, but when you ask for a room, the secretary explains that you can have a room, but you should know they don't allow women to use the fitness room or be unaccompanied in public areas due to their sincerely held religious beliefs. Would you not have a problem with that? If you think a business should be allowed to discriminate based on any sincerely-held religious belief (even if that means excluding black people or women or Christians), fine. I think it's a horrible idea, but at least it's consistent. If, on the other hand, you think that only Christians who agree with your interpretation of the Bible should be allowed to discriminate, I hope you can see how hypocritical and illogical that is.

This sounds exactly like my son (also 9). Except he will also get violent if I push it or don't handle things just right. He was diagnosed ADHD and Mood Disorder last summer, and just this summer he ended up hospitalized due to the aggression and suicidal talk. The inpatient psychiatrist diagnosed Anxiety. I wish we had been more understanding and less punitive over the last 5 years. Maybe he wouldn't have gotten this bad and wouldn't think he is worthless and unable to behave well.

They actually don't pay for any medical care. They just pay for insurance. So when they start making requirements for that insurance to exclude birth control, that's forcing their morality on their employees - it has nothing to do with them paying for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I understand how you feel. The first week of school was killer because I was reminded how exhausting it is to have that twisting in your stomach just waiting for a call all day every day. :::hugs and prayers:::

If your insurance is anything like ours, they won't pay for another intake (parent interview appointment) for at least one year. So I would definitely work to get this taken off if possible so you can go somewhere else and get it covered.

I was actually impressed that you had any idea where it was set! That's the kind of minor detail I breeze right by.

SO glad to see this update! I was stressed for you LOL.

If my car was old and scratched up anyway I'd probably give grace (but definitely would be annoyed especially with no remorse). Otherwise I would ask them to pay for it, either through their insurance or with cash.
