Last night I had Salad. Then after I got done with my cake I ate a sweet potato. Guess what I added to my sweet potato instead of butter? Buttercream & it was YUMMY. It tasted like sweet potato casserole. Yummers 
We're having Baked Potato Soup. I think I'm going to fry some bacon for it and make it a loaded baked potato soup.
last night we had breakfast for dinner....pancakes, english muffins w/ strawberry jam, scrambled eggs, bacon, and orange jucie.
tonight....i TRIED to make chicken and dumplings but i don't think i accomplished that quite well. apple pie for dessert.
monica - thanks!!!
juju - omg that sounds yummy! care to share your recipe for loaded baked potato soup?
Y'all---I have been COVERED UP today! It's been one of those days, I reckon...
The Old Man's got a month off, and tonight he cooked dinner. He made the blackeyed peas thing, and cornbread. It's really good and everything, but dang--I'm ready for something DIFFERENT!
Have a meeting tomorrow with a bride, before work on afternoons. I just have a real feeling that she doesn't have any money. 
Oh well--charity at all costs, right? 
Y'all make a wish for me that she's not a poor bridezilla, ok?! 
I can handle a regular bridezilla--just not a poor one!

Baked Potato Soup
4oz butter or margarine
1/2 c. flour
1 can chicken broth
3 c. milk
2 c. half-and-half (or 1 cup milk)
7 c. potatoes, peeled, diced
2 1/4 t. seasoning salt
Salt, to taste
Coil diced potatoes until almost tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, melt butter in soup pot. Stir in flour with a wire whish until smooth. Cook this roux for 2 minutes over low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in broth gradually. Add milk and half and half. Stir until mixture is smooth. Stire in potatoes and seasonings. Cover and simmer soup on very low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occassionally.
I use all milk instead of the half and half. If mixtrues is too thick, add more milk.
Last night I topped my bowl off with cheese, sour cream, and bacon. Tasted like a loaded baked potato.
Tonight is Pizza Hut per DH's request.
last night was beef enchiladas, spanish rice, and salad.
tonight we're having some sort of soup. i just don't know what yet.
thanks for the recipe juju!
Thanks juju-now I want pizza hut bbq pizza.mmmmm. And thanks for the recipe. It's alot like the potato soup my mom used to make.
Hey knox-what happened with the bride? I was hopin' for huge wedding,money no object for you!
Last night-homemade pot pie using the broiled chicken I made earlier.
Tonight-spinach lasagna with garlic green beans (I'm obsessed with those things!) Oh and a caprese salad (tomato, fresh mozarella and fresh basil with a lemon/olive oil dressing)
dodi I love Pizza Hut BBQ pizza too. Yum now I am craving it.
Friday night I went to a friends house & we had nachos with all the fixings, sweet tea & my cake for dessert. Everyone loved my cake.
Saturday I had Chicken Noodle soup.
Tonight Was just junk.
Lawwwwd, Y'all.
I went to meet with the bride and groom yesterday. I'm not thrilled; This is gonna be a difficult ride. I say that because:
1. They have no money. To them, $200 is huge. Maude be with me!
2. They looked like half the people I've arrested.
3. They want a red velvet cake, but no cream cheese icing and no buttercream. They also want "not that sickening sweet stuff."
4. I'm guessing (and I say "guessing" because I never got a definite number) they'll want approximately 50-60 servings, with the bride's layer on top to be for the 1st anniv.
5. They want a groom's cake with the emblem from the front of his "business card" to go on the front.
6. The "business card" is for a biker's club.
7. They want a Harley cake topper for the bride's cake.
8. They want the bride's cake to be on the three tier stand from Wilton.
9. It's to be white icing with some dots on there, and the base of the cake needs RED POINSETTIA GUMPASTE LEAVES ALL AROUND IT.
Ummm...ok?
This one gives me a "harry" (pronounced hah-ree like my Daddy used to say--) feeling in my gut. No, to hell with that--it plain just chaps my a$$. I can't put my finger on why these people are rubbing me the wrong way, they just do. And it doesn't help at all that they have absolutely no freaking taste, AT ALL.
So, I'm sorry--but have y'all seen Maude The Cake Fairy lately? She sure wasn't on call yesterday! 
WHEW! Thanks for letting me vent. And ANY ADVICE Y'ALL HAVE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Ok, for tonight, I'm doing:
Hamburger & corn pot pie
Salad with ranchalian dressing
Tea w/ lemons & limes
--Knox--
Last night was Cheesy rice with chicken and broccoli on the side.
Tonight was homemade taco salads.
Tomorrow will be fast food as I won't get home until after midnight
Lawwwwd, Y'all.

okay, so we can ALL understand the no money thing--but i think this needs to be your out--don't take the job if you have bad vibes, just tell them there's not way you can do this kinda cake for that kinda money, then there's no cake (or tasteless people) to worry about
SUPPER
1 slice of Pizza Hut buffalo chicken pizza & i was still hungry SO....
DH & i decided we wanted rice krispy treats
Ok finally able to come to supper. I had a show at our mall with my candle business. LONGGG WEEKEND. I lived at the mall the last 4 days. So I am not really sure what my family ate. 2 days ago they brought me bologna sandwiches so I think they had that or PB sandwiches. DH doesn't cook so they eat leftover or sandwiches. At the mall over the last few days I had a few pretzels and sweet and sour chicken. Tonight I baked frozen fish and fries. I am exhausted but wanted to see what I missed. Sounds like you guys had some good food. The soup sounds real good.
Knox good luck with bride. My opinion if $200 is a huge amount they should wait to get married. I waited 6 yrs to marry DH. Our cake was a gift from my aunt. I bought the supplies. She baked and decorated it. Our family wanted us to get married. We didn't need gifts so they donated things for the wedding. Food and cake and anything else they could think of. If they can't afford it they shouldn't be getting married yet.
Well I haven't been to the Supper Table since last Tues!!!
Allergy induced migraines have been killing me. I have migraines any way but these were the make me cry, I don't want to open my eyes kind. I hope their going away and not just fooling me.
