Y'all look so cute...

This darn dog keeps sneezing. It wouldn't be so bad but she's perched on my lap as usual. I'm not liking this doggy wetness on my face. YUK!!!!!!!!

I did have black sneakers but Hal didn't tell me to change!!!!

Tell her to blow her nose

I always use SW so no resort checkout for me.

Well, luckily Kristin won't have to worry about resort checkout since I just booked her one-way ticket on Christmas Eve morning!! SW out of Dulles for $167.50 is sadly a good deal.

She will drive back with Bob and me.

Now, on to work on Kathrin!

Hal is gonna shoot me for this, but I gotta post it. He put on the wig and I said he looked just like his mother.

Oma!!

Tell me about the chicken and noodles. Since I bought fish, my DD can have that while the rest of us have chicken.

You boil chicken (any parts or whole) until it is falling apart. You can do this with stock on hand, or add carrots and celery and seasonings to water and make the stock right along with the chicken as it cooks.

When it is done, remove the chicken and chop it into bite-sized pieces and put them back into the liquid. Bring it back to a boil and add "homemade" thick egg noodles (or those square dumplings) and cook until tender. When we lived in Ohio you could buy these noodles and/or dumplings in the grocery store freezer section. No luck here so far. I would think in your area they would probably be available if you don't want to make your own.

This should thicken the liquid to the point that it can be served over mashed potatoes. If not, make a slurry of flour and water and thicken it to your preference! It is a stick-to-your-ribs kind of meal, that is for sure. All of the elementary schools in the area of Ohio where we lived served this at their fall festivals.

You could also add potatos and it could be a version of Chicken Pot Pie without the homemade noodle squares.

Cut everything in bite size pieces. Cook on medium heat. Start with the hard vegetables first and add the others as they start soften. No seasoning is necessary. Use Olive Oil as needed to keep things from sticking.

I have to say that when I was desperately hungry once I ate this and it was good. Shhh. Don't tell Chuck that I said that. He'll make me eat it all the time and I just can't bring myself to eat Spam. It is a psychological thing but since I have so many other choices why would I choose it?
