Full Day

Today I have been married for 5 years. Some of ours good friends wanted to take us out for lunch. My husband was in heaven as they wanted to go to Old Country Buffet. Love the salad bar, hot food is ok, dessert bar great. Never go away hungry. They said there is a recession going on out there. When it comes to eating, I wonder. We will always need to eat even if we don't have the money to do so. Every time we eat out like this I think of all the people who don't have the money to do so or don't have the money to put food on the table. What do they do? I know we can make it as my husband hunts and fishes. I do alot of gardening and canning. We would make it. What do others do?

Husband cooking

Just the other night I came home from work, and as I walked into the house the aroma that came to me was heaven. Food!!! Someone else had been cooking. Who? My daughter was at work yet and the husband don't cook since I came into his life. I always tease him that the one neighbor does all the cooking when he is home. He will make roasts, meatballs, steaks, chops, anything he can put into a slow cooker. His wife loves it cause dinner is ready when she comes home.
Anyway my husband had taken a roast and put potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage and corn in a slow cooker, spiced it up some. Heaven, let me tell you anyone can cook with a slow cooker.
A neighbor came down, so we had him stay for supper. He also does the major part of the cooking for he and his wife. He said he would of add alittle more salt and pepper,but other than that it was really good. I use very little salt(bad for you) so you have to season that yourself if you want more. I hve always said my husband can cook, he just don't want to. Push them alittle ladies, they can do it.

Rotten Week-end

This was to be the week-end of love!! Yeah right, just a night to go out for supper would of been nice, but guess I did something wrong. Have a cold so can't be taken anywhere. I't o.k. that we are having a birthday party I have to cook for though. I will do the cooking as I love to cook, but may disappear after that. Can't get anyone sick.
We are going to have garlic creamed chicken served over brown rice. Made a nice jello (watermelon and passion fruit) for the grandson, he'll love that. Need to make a salad yet, maybe some fresh rolls. My daughter is bringing ice cream cake as the grandson love it. Wish it was nice enough to grill out. Can't wait to make chicken on the grill. Yum Yum Yum. Cooking makes me feel better when I"m down so this will help take me out of mood. Maybe I should another cookbook. Let's keep cooking

cooking troubles

Every have a problem trying to figure out what to fix for a big day? Well I have that problem now. My husband's birthday is today, and the grandson's is the 17th. We have a small get together for their birthdays as we are a blended family and the ex wife is something else. You know nothing we do is good enough, so we have our own little party. This past week has been great weather out there so I was thinking of grilling out, yet it is only to be about 35 for a high on Sunday. There will be 9 of us so there isn't a big group. Maybe I could do burgers and boneless chicken breast on the grill along with cheesy potatoes, and green beans and a salad. The daughter is bring an ice cream cake. Can't hardly wait for Spring to get here so we can cook out on a weekly basis. Love to grill out. Love Sunday dinners. Love to cook. and really love new cookbooks.
