This is such an awesome meal.  I cooked mine in the slow cooker but you can cook yours in a saucepan if you wish.

1 kg minced beef

1 onion diced

1/2 Red pepper diced

4 large mushrooms diced

1/2 a large carrot diced

1 can of mexican beans

1 can of diced tomato

1 Jar of Your Favorite  Italian Sauce - I used Leggos with Red wine.

Pinch of mixed herbs

Instructions

Fry the mince till responsibly cooked.

If cooking in slow cooker just add all the ingredients including the cooked mince into the slow cooker  and set on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours.

If cooking on stove top I would add a bit of water don’t make it too runny but give it some water to steam off.

Serve with Pasta and cheese.

My kids loved it. My 4 year old took one look at it and was like I am not eating that. But after telling him there was nothing else he tucked in and asked for more. Even my 1 year loved it.

Have you ever wanted to add sidebar widgets to your Leia Theme in Wordpress? I did it today and would like to share this easy method with everyone. As you can see reallyreally.net currently uses the Leia blog theme, you can view and download the theme from here: http://themes.wordpress.net/?s=Leia

The theme’s full name is leia-english-10. I think it is one of the nicest looking wordpress themes I have ever seen, I just had to get it! The only problem is the theme does not come with dynamic sidebar so that it is not widget aware making it inferior to many other themes out there.

This easy step by step method of widgitizing (is that a word??) the Leia theme is shown below. Works with Wordpress 2.xx.

Step 1. In your, themes > leia-english-10 > sidebar.php file, find the following code, now yours may be different just make sure you find everything between the izquierda & derecha div tags.


<div id="izquierda">
<ul>
<li><h2>Categories</h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats(); ?>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages(’title_li=<h2>Websites</h2>’ ); ?>
</ul>
</div>

<div id=”derecha”>
<ul>
<?php get_links_list(); ?>
</ul>
</div>


Replace with this code:


     <div id="izquierda">

Step 2. Make a file called “functions.php” with the following code and place the file into your, themes > leia-english-10 directory.


<?php
if ( function_exists(’register_sidebars’) ) register_sidebars(2);
?>


That’s it! Your done! As long as you are running a recent version of Wordpress, ie 2.0+ this should work no problems. To make sure it is working log into your admin area and look in, presentation > Widgets, you should see the two bars there with options to add widgets from the bottom of the page. If you don’t then back track and double check everything. Your comments are welcome, let me know if you have any problems, I will be happy to help as best I can Full credit goes to John Moravec at educationfutures.com for showing me how to do this.

I really have had enough of being a wife and mother. This feeling is applicable to today only. So here is my rant.

The job of being a wife and mother are totally crap at times I mean I get this overwhelming feelings of guilt if things aren’t all done but than I also feel this sinking feeling. I mean it is a lose lose situation. And I don’t even get paid for it.

I feel that there is always cleaning to be done, always kids to break out of fights, always screaming, always food that needs cooking, always a husband demanding something.

I really love it when my darling husband stands there repeatedly asking for support, I mean get a life dude don’t you think that I need a bit of support. I dont want to talk you up dude get a life couch if you want that star treatment.

My kids constantly are like mum mum mum mum mum I mean OK I brought you into the world but at this very moment I don’t want to actually raise you.  I mean can’t you learn to be independent. I should mention that my kids are all under 4 years old. So the worst mother of the year award will be mine for that attitude. I feel like if I hear mum I did a poo my butt needs to be wiped again I will scream. I am on a roll here.

Now I feel guilt for writing this because I should be coping I should be a super woman but in all reality I am a strung out mum and wife who needs a disparate  break.

I do love my husband and kids but there are times like this that seem like it is so much hard work and God why did you choose me?

God bless I hope your day is going better than mine did.
