Excellent shopping. . .

I went to Fresh Market and Trader Joe’s this week for groceriies.  Between the two stores I spent $84!  That’s huge considering how expensive everything is at The Fresh Market.  I ended up getting my tilapia, shrimp, and as a treat 10 stuffed escargot shells for Tony.  They have the escargot and herb butter mixture all in each shell and I end up baking them in...

Snow on the way!

Yep, supposedly we are going to get up to six inches of snow by tomorrow!  Last December 1st Hannah had a snow day from school, so hopefully we won’t repeat that this year! I defrosted steak last night, but didn’t use it, so I diced up some for a steak/egg scramble with an ounce of peasant bread with a pat of butter.  Now I am...

Plan B

I swear when Hannah and I went to the store I picked up yeast for the pizza dough.  I remember because it was on sale: two 3 packs for $3.00 which is a great price! So Hannah’s friend is over, and I start to make the pizza dough.  No yeast!  I look everywhere, Hannah doesn’t remember seeing it, and its not on my receipt.  Nertz!...

Decorating!

Hannah pulled out some of our decorations and we were able to put the lights on the outside of the deck, around the front door AND we got a new decoration! I also put this out, but I am missing one of the snowmen – I need to find it and glue it back on! I picked up lunch while we were out and got...

Tony is so good to me!

He found a movie I would like on t.v., For Your Consideration.  It’s the same cast as in Best in Show, and a Mighty Wind.  I just love those type of quirky movies!  So with coffee in hand, Tony went to make me breakfast.  SO GOOD!  The surprise though was that there were scrambled eggs with Tabasco in the middle!  I have a feeling this...

Lasagna at an Irish Pub

Whenever I don’t order something a restaurant is known for, Tony says its like ordering lasagna at an Irish Pub!  We ended up going to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch, and I did not get chicken wings!  But what Hannah and I got was very good!  We each got the grilled chicken wraps that came with tortilla chips and salas on the side. I ended...

I may have burned off my pie!

We slept in until 10:00 this morning!  Love that!  Breakfast was quick and easy – toast, ham/cheese/1 egg scramble: Hannah and I took an hour walk with Ed this morning – it was so nice out!  The car said 39 degrees, but it felt a lot warmer: We are off to have lunch out and see a movie!  See you later!  Hope everyone is having...

I am so full!

I am happy to say everything went great – all the food was cooked perfectly, the turkey was moist and delicious and we had great company – who could ask for anything more? At first I thought the two bottles of Pinot Grigio weren’t going to be enough – but it was.  Here is my favorite (and only!) wine cork!  I didn’t realize the spiral...

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are all set, turkey/ham in the oven and waiting for our guests, so I thought I would sneak in a quick post. I made pecan pie for the first time, um, lots of sugar! but it looks amazing – I may sneak a sliver later – definitely insulin worthy! I got the recipe off of www.pioneerwomancooks.com.  I had to buy Karo syrup, I can’t...

Sushi = yum!

Okay, I should come clean, Hannah and I don’t eat RAW sushi, at all!  We love the cooked stuff!  Tony on the other hand only likes the raw stuff (and the gross stuff if you ask me!) Started the night with this beer – so light and refreshing – they just came out with a light beer not too long ago (at least its new...
