Rottenlittleboys that soup sounds gread, think I will make a batch of that next week.   =)

Last night I ended up having  oven baked sweet pototo fries  & green beans. My neice & nephew came to visit and ate my ham steak.  lol   they are like bottemless pits.

Tonight is prob gonna be  a slice of pizza & salad. Working a double from home today 9am - 12 mid ... so I am calling for  delivery.

Sat my neice & are going to do some cooking, she likes to try to put together  healthy meals form stuff from Dollar Generall or Dollar Tree. She is getting pretty good at it too. Getting better with spices & stuff too.
Sunday my other nieice has requested that we make muffins & rice crispy treats. =)

That is the one I use most often .... It makes a HUGE diff to use good REAL vanilla extract.
Doe sit taste bland to you?? maybe add alitle cinnamon & or nutmeg to the mix??

I like to bast green bell peppers with bbq sauce & graill them.

Also like a little bbq on potato salad.
Or ON potato wedges.
whatg about basting really thick onion wedges with it & gtilling thosse?

The black & white one would make a beautiful halter top?

My DH got called to leave town for a last minute business trip so I made chili/cream cheese chip dip and vegged out on the (new) couch while watching the Olympics. Life isn't too bad without him around!

Every once in a while my best friends daughter will "cook dinner"f or us. She will make that chilli dip in a pyrex pie plate in microwave.  And we wil have it for dinner. We justify it because we use celery & baby carrots to scoop copious amounts of chili/creamcheese/chedder mix inot our faces. Hey we are eating it with celery so it must be ok.  lol 

It's sausage meat rolled up in puff pastry, brushed with beaten egg, then baked.  Maybe it's a british thing...?

  PinsnNeedles that looks reallygood. I will have to try making those. One with a salad wouldn't be so bad a meal!! They I go justifying again!! 

JLoveG & RottenLittleBoys : what do you put in your meatball soup & Taco soup?

Last night I had more roasted green beans & a couple pieces of stew meat.  Then latewr at a freinds house we had peaches & vanilla ice cream.

I tihnk tonight will be sweet potoao fries & a slice of grilled ham. prob more green beans too.

I try to keep some canned stuff I like (corn, beans, peas) and then try to buy fresh stuff when I know I'm going to use it right away.

I bought some of those produce bags, I think they are called green bags?? I 'll find a link for them. They really do work. I Also have a lettuce keeper, I'll find a link for that too.

Hngdoolett, we have a very local dairy that still sells their milk in glass bottles. It tastes so much better this way and I don't even like milk.

I LOVE milk out of glass jars, it's much colder that way, tastes far better!! I find buying half gallons  if it is in paper or plastic seems to help with the flavor. that or I am just nuts  lol.

[I am used to people thiking I am WEIRD!!]

margarine and soy sauce on rice crispies
baby food deserts (bananas, hawaian delight, etc.)
the people at work think I'm REALLY strange.

I like a bowl of dry rice crispys with a dash or soy & a shake of hot sauce, mix it up & eat with a spoon....

Baby food desserts I like to mix with warmed up left over rice, makes a good pudding like thing.  LOL

I am used to people thiking I am WEIRD!!

The kick I have been on lately, Sour dough pretzles & baby carrots dipped in a mix of mustard, hot sause & celery salt.  UUMM   
Popcorn with celery salt & hot sauce, eat it with a spoon so you don't get hot sauce on fingers  lol.
