Triplets

One of mom's pics from Colorado reminded me of a recent pic of myself. So I looked around a little for a similar one of Molly to see if I could get all of the blond Huffs looking kinda similar. I'm thinking that we're going to have a pretty good idea of how Molly is going to look when she gets older.

Summer vacation at home


Hairdos and Softball

Hey all. Just a few pictures of summer fun here. Molly is really enjoying her new easel from Ikea ($15), getting fun hairdos and putting on other people's clothes. We also had some fun with the Jr. Softball World Series being hosted at the little park right behind our condo. Was fun seeing teams from the US, Europe, Latin America and Asia compete. So we dropped by with Molly to watch the finals.

Here is Molly clapping and dancing (her only move is the bump the fists up and down move) at the world series

Whazzat???


At first we thought it was a hummingbird at our butterfly bush because it hovered like a hummingbird, but upon closer inspection (with the zoom lens) it looked more like a bug than a bird. Anyone know what this is?

dinner recipe, videos, pics, oh my!

Here was our dinner last night, it was yummy:

Guava-Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Cilantro-Jalapeno Salsa

pork:
1 T veg oil
1 or 2 T minced onion
1 garlic clove, minced
7 ounces guava paste, chopped (comes in rectangular packets in the Mexican aisle, could probably also sub apricot jam, etc.)
1/2 cup water
1 T soy sauce
1 T ketchup
1 t cayenne
2 3/4-pound pork tenderloins

salsa:
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
a bit of vegetable oil (to get everything wet; they called for 1/3 cup but I used a lot less)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup minced onion
2 T chopped chives (we used because we had in the garden, but these aren't necessary at all. I mean, chives don't actually have any flavor...)
2 jalapenos, minced (all depends on hotness; I used one seeded and minced, and 1 unseeded and minced)
1 garlic clove, minced

to make pork:
Heat oil in small saucepan. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft, a few minutes. Add guava paste and water and cook, stirring, until paste has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, ketchup, and cayenne.
Brush pork tenderloins with glaze, broil or grill until done, applying glaze as necessary. Top with remaining glaze.

to make salsa:
In a bowl, mix the cilantro, oil, vinegar, onion, chives, jalapenos, and garlic.

Slice pork. Serve with salsa. We ate with baby carrots from the garden and broccoli rabe.

A few cute videos:

This is Evangeline standing on her own. She thinks it's fun:





This is an old video (from June 2nd) but Jon and I find it really hilarious...




Lastly, Evangeline knows something good is in that Dr. Pepper can, but she doesn't really have the concept down yet...




Lastly, here are some pics, a few from July on our camera, the rest from around here...

how about this link?

East with Eva


I used to post a link so you could go to the web album, but I don't know how to find the URL in the latest Picasa 3 I just downloaded to our home computer. So . . . here's what I know: in kshuff2's Picasa Web Albums there should be one album, and it's called East with Eva Jul 09. Sign-in is required to view it (because I told it so). If anyone knows how to link with a URL, please let me know. A few of the photos are repetitive because I am using the blog and web album to get the photos to Laura and Jon so they can choose the ones they like.
