You silly!! You married him 20 years ago. You met him about 30 years ago!!! Maybe its the whole "time flies when your having fun" thing....
I ended up cutting it thick and rendering the fat and then making a big pot of baked beans. I think I am the only one in the house that likes them though
I have a meeting for Relay for Life tonight, so we are having leftovers and then heading out in the rain

That is too funny! Time sure does fly when you're having fun!
I LOVE baked beans but rarely make them since I am the only one that likes them. Now I am craving them!
Andrew's schools have never done RFL...it sounds like the kids always have fun doing it so I wish they would.
I don't mind the trumpet. Liam has one, although now that he is no longer in band, he rarely plays it. I am keeping it in the hope he will pick it up again. The recorder though...even when it's good, it's bad.
Andrew is still playing drums and percussion. Luckily he has soundless drums but I think he may stop the band in HS since he wants to play football.
Tonight we are having ricotta gnocchi and spinach gnocchi with chicken sausage. I have a few containers of ricotta that only cost me pennies, but now they are getting close to the sell by date so I need to use it up. Have a great day all!
I have always wanted to make Gnocchi. do you have a recipe you can share?
"Ode to Joy" but when they both played it, the song sounded like a funeral dirge! We still laugh over that today... it was definitely not joyful!
As mentioned my DD quit clarinet after 8th grade to pursue soccer and volleyball in HS. She eventually dropped v-ball and I think always had a bit of regret for quitting band. Her friends in band had a blast. She encourged DS to try HS band in 9th grade and he loves it. Band is his whole social world really, he is in so many extra music groups and they always have fun. He wanted to quit after middle school too but now is sooooo glad he didn't.
That is sort of the grown up equivalent of a kids snow day!
Worked this morning then took DS to a dr appt this afternoon. We stopped at the mall near that dr office so I could shop at a special candy store. I wanted to get something chocolate to put at each place on the table for easter dinner. I got these great eggs that are stuffed with something different, some milk chocolate some dark and wrapped in 6 different pastel colors. I think it will be fun for people to pick their spot by what filling they like best or swap them around.
WFDT = breakfast food!
French toast, bacon, cut up citrus fruits.
So glad your son is enjoying himself. The band kids really do get to go on some great trips, etc. My Mom always put candy at the place settings for Easter. It was always the Russell Stover coconut nest with the jelly bean eggs...along with an Easter scratch off.
I think poor Minnie is going to have a heart attack one of these days, she does not do well with noise. Since she is so little I don't want to medicate her either. It never worked with my other dog.
Poor Minnie!
Hi, all! Sorry I didn't make it over here yesterday! It was run, run, run! Didn't help that Katie was home sick with a sore throat!
Dinner tonight is up in the air. Katie has her young women meeting at church, and Jacob has a merit badge class. I'm thinking we'll just do some kind of sandwich or wrap. Maybe we'll do Sheryl's po boy's! I always keep the fixin's on hand, as it's become a favorite of the family!
Aimee - I love your new blog! Looks really good!!!
Vic - our local cupcake bakery, the Sweet Tooth Fairy. They make wonderful cakebites in seasonal flavors. This months flavors are banana and peach and honey. Those are covered in milk, dark or white chocolate, and would look fun on the table! Thanks for giving me the idea!!!
I guess it is time to start thinking about Easter dinner.
I hope Katie is feeling better. Glynis, I have to tell you...I am amazed at how well you keep it all together with the kids. I cant keep up with Andrew and Thomas...I feel so overwhelmed lately.
Those cake bites sound great! There is a candy store here that is pretty well known that has free shipping a lot when you spend $29. The company is called Sarris if you ever want good chocolate. Their pecan clusters and peanut butter meltaways are the BEST!
Hope you had fun bowling! I always had fun when I was on a league.
I think I am going to get a Honey Baked ham and serve that for sandwiches along with some turkey as we have a few that won't eat ham. I have one (DD's roommate) who is vegetarian but will make a sandwich with guac or hummus instead of a meat then add the other fixings. I plan to make baked beans, scallop potatoes and fruit salad as well. Then my two bundt cakes for dessert. I know 2 cakes is over kill but again I like to give a choice (chocolate or lemon) then there will be extras to send home with my parents, my sister's family and the 2 college girls!
Menu sounds great!
Took DS clothes shopping today at kohls, not our fav thing to do together. He drove me to a bunch of other errands to get driving practice so that was good. For a treat I told him we would do dinner out his choice. He picked Bar Louie and ordered potstickers for our appetizer and he had a cuban sandwich, DH ordered a loaded burger and I had the pear and blue cheese salad. It was fun to get out on a rainy night!
Sounds like a nice time!
I've been gradually uncluttering my house as part of spring cleaning.
I need to do some of that. You know its really bad when something falls out of almost every cabinet you have when it is opened!
Good morning! Kyle pitched his butt off last night!!!! He gave up a few hits in the first inning then settled down and threw four awesome innings.
Hooray!
Oh my girls, have any of you tried Zumba? Monday was my first class. It was a TOTAL blast but it kicked my fanny - let me tell you!!! .
I think I need to try that!
I don't know what's for dinner. My freezer stash has gotten a little out of hand so I'll find something from it. Have a great day all.
I have to get mine cleaned out too.
Hello everyone Ive been missing in action for the last month
. Been gone for 3 out of the last 4 weeks. Life should always be like that.
I have been reading along on my phone but I'm just going to jump back in if you all dont mind.
Hey Girl! I heard you had a blast in NOLA! Glad you had a nice, long trip! Any trip report or restaurant reviews?
I'm really looking foward to dinner tomorrow. I'm making the general tso's chicken Aimee posted, fried rice, and dumplings. Hopefully at least one of those will come out well!
YUM! have you tried the orange chicken, veggie fried rice and pork dumplings from trader joe's? they are all really good.
We are close enough to the Chesapeake Bay to have seagulls but they seem to like hanging out in the Mall parking lot! 
That Alexis is just too cute! Is she still warming up to the idea of a new baby?
this week.
Well, liking them has increased my Mickey D's visits for the iced coffee... it's certainly not helping my addiction!
