Food For Friday – 3/16-3/29

I got on the ball early this week and went through the grocery flyer on Wednesday and made out my list and menu.   I even went through my coupons and pulled out the ones I plan to use based on what was on sale and tossed the expired ones.   I’ve got at least $7.50 in [...]

Debt Free! Yahoo!

Well, not completely, but I just paid off our credit card with a portion of our federal tax refund!  That’s HUGE!  That will save us around $100-200 each month.   Now I’m hoping that we can just keep from putting anything on the credit card for a while.  I haven’t used mine in months and when [...]

Better and Buns

So after my little bout with hives, I’m doing much better.  Thankfully, it didn’t last long and I’ve already started looking normal again.  I hope to never experience that again and will definitely tell the dr next time (hopefully there won’t be a next time for a very long, long time) I need antibiotics.
I mentioned [...]

C is for Chocolate Cake Cookies

Tonight is our Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying  night and for dinner we are having some Asian style food made with fake chicken (being provided by our vegetarian friend).  I decided that for dessert I was going to try something new, something that I’d never done before.  It’s not Asian style, but it was easy and [...]

Food For Friday 1/5 – 1/18/2009

So after much running around to get Darling Hubby an eye exam and new glasses (since he hasn’t been since May 2004…and started noticing he couldn’t see as well anymore), some yarn for a sweater that I want to work on (after I start working on Darling Hubby’s sweater again and finish up the stash [...]

Food For Friday 12/22-12/27 & 12/29-1/4

Only a day late because we had to fix our shower, which took much of the afternoon, lots of tearing out of closets walls, banging, heating up, wetting down, taping and reinstalling.  It’s done, the shower handles turn on and off without hurting yourself and as of this morning, the shower head no longer leaks!

Most Delicious Turkey EVER!

I usually only have turkey when I go visit family for Thanksgiving or Christmas.  I decided this year I was going take on the task of cooking my own turkey for my family.  Today was that day.
I started yesterday making up a brine using Alton Brown’s Good Eats Turkey recipe.  I altered the recipe a [...]

Reading, Muffins and Snow

I didn’t sleep well last night.  I just couldn’t turn off my mind and I had indigestion from the meatball subs we had for dinner.  I ended up getting out of bed, going downstairs and reading until 1:30 in the morning so I didn’t keep tossing and turning and keeping Darling Hubby up like I [...]

Monday Monday

Darling Hubby has this week off so we’ve schedule a bunch of stuff to get done this week.  Today was the car inspection and oil change.  Darling Hubby also went and bought my Christmas present.  It’s hidden somewhere in the basement, but I promise not to go looking for it.  I actually look forward to [...]
