For the love of... limes.

I have found a new obsession. It's a good one though, unlike some of my others that aren't exactly... healthy. You know like, counting steps when I walk and re-organizing every binder at work every.single.morning so that they were lined up just so. Okay, okay those aren't that bad. I'll keep the bad ones to myself, cause really, you don't want to know. Or maybe you do? Wellll too bad for you!
I digress. New obsession.
Food blogs! Holy hell, where have I been for the last, oh 100 years?! Oh man, oh man. I'm in new obsession nirvana and I don't ever want to leave. I discovered this blog the other day and I can't get enough. And by discovered I don't mean strapped on a space suit and planted a white flag discovered but more like blindly stumbled upon in a 2 am insomniac state of sheer boredom discovered. Great photos and yum food that doesn't require a culinary degree just so you can feel superior when you can pronounce the ingredients and no one else knows what you're saying. Blank stares all around.
I am making this tonight and I swear the boy has a nose akin to a pack of wolves. Within 2.57 seconds of slicing open a lime, there he was. Standing at the edge of the kitchen staring holes in my back. He was showing remarkable restraint by keeping his distance because he knows he's usually not allowed in the kitchen when I'm cooking. I can't STAND the whole kids underfoot thing. Can't freaking stand it. The hovering, the staring. Ugh. I do let them help a few times a week but sometimes I want to poke forks in my eyes. Seriously. Did I mention I can't stand it? I did? Okay, well I just can't stand it.
He's lucky that watching him eat a lime provides me with great pleasure otherwise the internets wouldn't be getting treated to the pictures above. You're welcome.

Dang, your kids are seriously cute! Love that he provided a nice photo op for you as well :) Those tostadas look delish.....especially because they have cilantro in them, I LOVE cilantro!
Great series. Love that lime with the blue shirt.
How cute. Love the story it tells. ~Jackie
I think he liked it. He's crazy. ;)
I used to do that with lemons when I was younger. Neat cooking site - and your dinner sounded yummy. (fun pics as well)
Looks like he loves limes! and I love cooking blogs too!!
My mouth puckered as I looked at those shots, but he was evidently enjoying every single juicy bite!!
I love limes, but not plain! I pair them with beer or Mexican food and I am a happy camper:)
