goodness - i feel like i missed so much!!! everyone has posted at least twice! 
tonight we had pork chops (i hate pork chops but my dad cooked since i have a TON of homework to do...ugh 
), steamed rice, and broccoli w/ cheese.
btw - knox, thanks for that recipe!!! i will definitely have to try it when i get some time. 
i just made baklava for the first time (dh's request - he was whining because i baked a cake for one of my two orders for this weekend. anyway - he came home and said mmmm something smells good and came over to look at my cake. i pushed him away and told him that it wasn't for him and he said aww...you never bake for me anymore. so i told him that i would bake whatever he wanted 
). i forgot to brush each individual layer with butter but it still came out yummy. i've never even tried it before but its pretty good. 
hockeygirl - i hope your oven worked! you haven't posted yet (as of my typing of this) so i hope things worked out. i remember when my oven went out.....what a pia. 
samsgranny - i hope you feel better. i've been so grateful that i haven't gotten sick yet this season. although i'm just waiting for my 5 month old to get sick....he hasn't yet but i'm hoping its not so bad.
ok ladies....its back to the books for me. i just finished five assignments for my online history class and now i have to work on my midterm which is like a 9 page (not double spaced) essay that's due on friday. 
It still works!!! WooHoo!!! Good thing too, cause I don't need an oven death right now. 
Thanks for all the good thoughts everyone. We will be delivering the cake Saturday afternoon. I will take pictures and post them then.
Hey knox after I posted last I got to thinkin about a few more tips. First Use just a touch of oil if you have a good electric skillett. Mine is old I haven't found another one this big that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. So I use alittle more oil than i would ususally. Second low and slower. I no I said a low setting but really keep it lower or you will burn it. You can do it in a regular skillett. Just check the bottoms and you will be fine. So just remeber like Emeril says use your knob low and slower cause you want it to raise alittle more. You will do great. And from experience don't get on the phone and do the dishes at the same time and forget to check them. You can have one side really hard. 
Hubby got a kick out of that one. He said did you make some hockey pucks What I am trying to say is experiment. It took me awhile to get it right. Kids distract me alot.
I had another chicken dinner, but this was fried instead of baked, how's that for variety? It didn't look like the picture on the box either, but was better than the baked, but also more unhealthy!
I wish I'd known about the skillet bread, that would have been good. Got to try that it sounds great. Janice
*whew* We all must be busy tonight! I just got done with the last cake for the wedding this weekend. Tonight I did 2 12" rounds, a 10" round and the last 6" round just came out of the oven.
It is fend for yourself around here tonight. DH has eaten a cake top, chips and salsa and I think he had a muffin that was in the fridge from Sunday.
I have had Wheat Thins and some leftover tuna fish salad. I just threw a personal pizza in the oven and am working on a scoop of cottage cheese with some peaches.
Fine dining I tell ya!
*Makes sounds like Beavis and Butthead*
Uhhh...ow. Uhh--uhhh....whoa! Uhhh...mmmm...
Dang, I'm BEAT Y'all!
I just cranked out 3 cheesecakes: Chocolate chip, Seriously chocolate, Chocolate chip/choc marble, all with white choc ganache topping. PLUS I did a 6 inch "anniversary cake that should look like a mini wedding cake."
(That was the request from the tourist, anyway!)
Shhhheeesh. I'm delivering those babies all the same time at 10:00 am, got a hair appointment at 1:30 pm....THEN IT'S HOME TO BED!!!! 
Tonight, DH took us out for BBQ. Oh. My. GOBS, it was soooo good. (Especially since that's the only thing I had today!) 
See y'all tomorrow (today),
--Knox--
*slithers off to lick her wounds and mend the beaten psyche*
still working on my mid-term for history so mom bought canned clam chowder and sourdough bread.
Tonight I broke the frozen chicken habit and had Progresso Grilled Steak with vegetables and penne. Was pretty good, and it was cooler here than it has been since February! Janice
Thursday night....I had a meeting so I put dinner in the crock pot
Italian vegetable soup
Leftover birthday cake for DD birthday
Gee knox you are cranking out those cakes....girl you must be tired. I have been wanting BBQ....maybe this weekend
mxpark....hope your mid-terms are going well. Hang in there!
veejaytx it's cold here again, cold, rainy and windy I hate the cold!!!
hockeygirl- don't you just love fend for your self nights? Good luck with the wedding cake.
Well I took the day off yesterday, got rid of my nasty carpet in bedroom and got hardwood floors. I also painted in there Wednesday night. I baked 2 cakes for this weekend and made & colored my icing because we have a football game tonight and a band competition Saturday. I still managed to cook dinner. We had fried wieners with kraut (yum yum), mashed potatoes, peas, mac & cheese and good old buttermilk fried cornbread. Tonight everyone will be eating at the fooball game.
Chicken in the woods-
My girls go to girl scout camp in the summer. They learned how to make it there and every once in a while we have it at home.
You take a chicken breast, uncooked rice, mushroom soup and vegetables (we use asparsgus, broccoli and carrots) Wrap is all up in foil and cook it over hot charcole.
Just popping in for a quick glimpse at the supper table. My kiddos have been sick....need I say more. It's hardest on my little guy, with his Autism changes aren't easy, especially when they are out of our control.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Supper Menu
Chicken & Potato Soup
Salad
Whole Wheat Buns
Sweet Ice Tea/Water

The weather decided to act like it is Fall, but it's day by day. That's partly why the little ones are sick. In the 90's one day and then the 50's the next! Right now I miss New England, at least when I lived there I could count on the weather being what the season said it was suppose to be.

Hey, Y'all! 
Glad to be back at the dinner table in one piece! Got a nap this afternoon, and boy did I need that.
Pics in the gallery. Two cheesecakes and an anniversary cake.
MORNINGGLORIES: Hope the kids get better, sheesh--it's so hard on everyone when they're sick!
JTB94: That "Chicken in the woods" sounds like something I'd make! It is yummy, I'm gonna save that!
BRANSMOM: Dang, girl! You gettin' that work plum DONE, huh? You need to come to my house and start tearin' out the carpet. I'm just off the foothills, here--once you pass the cemetery, you'll go to the bottom of the hill....LOL! I love kraut & wieners, too...So you can just bring some of that with you before you start working.
O'HARA: You know, they make these containers now in plastic. You could pack one of those with some of that Italian soup, and send it with BRANSMOM when she comes over to start working on my house!
VEEJAY & MXPARK: Y'all are onto the soup run! I'll take one order of that, as well--just send it over with BRANSMOM. SHE WON"T MIND--SHE'LL HAVE HER ARMS FULL ANYWAY!!
Well, looks like I've got a week's worth of great food coming soon, so I won't even have to cook!
Tonight:
Blackeyed peas with rib meat, fat back and bacon.
Sliced green onions, green peppers
Cornbread
Tea
Cake scraps
knox-you crack me up!!! I know you said that you were from up here at one point...but girl you cook like a southerner!!! I LOVE blackeyed peas!!!!
morningglories- sorry to hear about your sick little ones. My youngest has a form of autism and doesn't do change or the unexpected well at all, so I know how hard that is on you. Praying for health in your home.
Went to the pumpkin show ( a huge festival here) today with DD and a friend.
We ate junk all day, rode rides, watched a parade and walked miles! What a great day
Brought DH and DS takeout Chinese food.
just finished with my mid-terms ....what a PIA, 25 single spaced pages in one week and that's not counting my usual weekly assignments, ugh 
. i have a migraine and i pulled a muscle in my neck (kind of like when you sleep in an odd position and then your neck hurts) so i'm just plain exhausted and not feeling too hot right now . everyone just got back from my grandma's house and we have no groceries so we're eating out again....
meximelt and tacos from taco bell.
ohara - thank you for the well wishes on my midterm!
samsgranny - are you feeling any better?
now its time to finish my cake order for tomorrow.
Ok it is the cakeathon 2 weeks getting down to the line. I got the cupcake done. Nieces B-Day cake working. The other nieces Girl Scout Halloween cake baked and cooling. Last night was Tacos. Or what ever form of taco meat you chose. Tonight I babysat and baked, made frosting, did cupcakes.BUSY night they had left over Chicken Noodles and mashed potatoes. Same tomorrow for cakes and babysitting and haven't a clue what to have for them to eat One of them wants noodles tomorrow but 2 voted no Gotta be easy H**l at this point it may be PB&J and chips. No I wouldn't do that. But it was an 
a thought. It will be cold here and I did freeze some Chili the last time so it will be Chili 
Supper done for kids. I should be kind to DH so gotta think on that one. Maybe marrinate some steak and broil with Baked potato. I hope to see you in a few days for an update. WISH ME LUCK
breakfast for dinner tonight....pancakes w/ fruit topping (let the kids pick from strawberries, blueberries, or apples) and whipped cream (had some whipping cream laying around so just whipped it up while cooking), hash browns, sausage, and eggs. dh made himself a breakfast sandwhich. orange juice, chocolate milk, or milk to drink.
I love breakfast at dinnertime!
Today I made one of those Bertolli dinners for two, expensive, but I had a $1 off coupon and it was on special, so not so bad price wise, but not too good otherwise. There may have been two green beans sliced up in there, tomatoes so smushed they were hardly recognizable. Not much chicken, but was pretty good, but there was lots of bow-tie pasta.
Overall, decent, but nothing to rave about and I don't plan to buy another one! Still, I guess it was better than peanut butter! Janice
We went out with friends. We went to PF Changs.
It was my first time there. It was really good. Of course there were no children (atleast not mine) ,I didn't have to cook and no dishes to wash...how could that not be good.
Jennifer
The big boy came over tonight, and he cooked us (the little son and I) homemade tacos!
Sooo good, and to beat it all--I ain't been worth a crap today. I think all I managed to do was one load of laundry and a few dishes. 
Laziness and sloth. Those have been my mantras today.
--Knox--
Way to busy to day with Girl Scout stuff, we snacked for dinner carrots, chicken wings and anything else that was quick
Ohara - we had PeiWei tonight. It is kind of faster food PFChang.
I don't wanna work today....
Sundays are sooo boring. Anyway, Food City has sirloins on special for $2.99 per pound. They're actually really good ones, for sirloins!
So tonight will be:
Steaks w/mushrooms & onions
Twice baked potatoes
Salad with ranchalian
Tea w/ lemons/limes
Cherry squares dessert (on the back of the graham cracker crumb box)
--Knox--
Spotty, your my kind of girl! I love coors light! I made chicken wings tonight. They are the best I have ever tasted. With homemade blue cheese dressing.
Judy
Wow! Long time no posting. Finally got the weekend over with. Dh's whole family was here. So we had 11 people in our home.
Thursday night was Spaghetti and garlic bread
Friday night was Cheddar's. I had ribs and baked potato with broccoli and Cheese casserole.
Saturday night was Taco Bell. I had a Cheesy Gordita Crunch.
So glad I didn't have to cook the whole time they were here. Some of them are really picky. We went to the zoo on Friday and to an Animal Wildlife Drive Thru Safari on Saturday.
Today is some type of soup that my aunt made.
I'm so tired ugh!
Ok had to take a break. So here is what we had.
Sat. kids had the chili. For us I put coutry ribs in crockpot with some BBQ sauce. DH fell asleep before they were done. I had some and a Baked potato and cake scraps. DH had ribs when he got up this morning.
Sun. I had to go to store for some more powder sugar. So picked up some chicken legs from deli for DH & DD. I am not sure what I will eat probably more cake and sniff some more powdered sugar.
Ok break is over I gotta get back to cake #3 & #4. Be back soon I hope.
Juju sounds like you had a good weekend
