2 chocolate chip cookies and a super size diet coke! ![]()
Milly, you are a girl after my own heart, most of my "dinners" are very similar, so I don't get to post here too often, I mostly come here to use my imagination and taste everybody's great meals.
Janice
Hello Milly.
I had chips & dip for dinner. So much for a meal ![]()

Hey, that's what I had last night! Tonight I made myself a nice salad (had to use up those expensive tomatoes berore they go wrinkly.)
wow....i missed a lot.
EVERYONE is sick here. including me. ugh. i've had some version of chicken soup the last three days: homemade chicken soup, chicken noodle soup, chicken and rice soup....and lots and lots of juice and water!
just got an e-mail from wilton and they're looking for instructors in my area. i desperately need the money so yay for that! i just don't have a good picture of my roses or shell borders so i'm going to try to get caking soon.
Hi mxpark, so sorry to hear that you and your family are sick, sure hope everybody gets better really quick!
Great news on the Wilton instructor jobs, let us know how everything goes.
Feel better soon! Janice
Tonight was a package of already fixed bean and beef burritoes. Just had to heat and serve. Tomorrow night is little smokies and fried potatoes unless something changes.
JUJU: I love those easy-to-fix dinners! Just love those nights!
MXPARK: Good luck on getting better AND being an instructor!! Let us know how it goes...
MONICA: You're lucky...you always get to eat what YOU want to eat!
BY THE WAY, Y"ALL: A "skeezer" is one of those people like you'd see on "Jerry Springer," etc. You know--the big, poofy (or limp and stringy) type hair, the orange fake&Bake tan, the faded out (way too faded out) jeans that are pencil-legged, etc. Y'all know one. I know you do. Y'all probably have a "skeezer" for a friend.
Yeah. Well, my latest bride contract is a total "down in the 'Ville" skeezer. She's the one who hustles her food-stamp card on the first Friday of the month to the rich skeezer from the West side. And her "groom" (lol---Ahhhhhaaaa!
) is just the same, only male: He's the one with the 20 year old Harley, chopped and lowered. He's got the flat boy hat with a tassle in the back. Yeah. Full MULLET style hair. Under the "skeezer boy" hat. In his 20 year old biker leathers. He's the dude who gets disability checks, but works side jobs on people's cars in his "spare" time.
So the cake they want is red velvet, right? Yeah. On a 3 tier garden stand, with a HARLEY BIKERS TOPPER on top. ![]()

But, it's THEIR day...not mine. I don't have to like 'em--just bake for 'em.
So, tonight's dinner is:
Crockpot pork roast with potatoes & carrots.
--Knox--(the cop skeezer!) ![]()
Knox- the ONLY reason I get to eat what I want is cause its just me ![]()
Anyway tonight was potato soup & Marshmallow creme (
Yea I know
) for dessert
I had one of those good 'ole Stauffer frozen dinners, roasted potatos, broccoli and chicken...there were approximately 4 bites of chicken, mostly potatoes, but they were good and the gravy was good (don't even think about the sodium and fat). Not bad though. I had Ghiradelli semi sweet chips for dessert. Janice
Hey ya'll! I have got to sit down more often! It has just been crazy and Ithink I may have bitten off quite a bit-I'm trying to make a 3-d Lightening McQueen for this weekend. boonenati has been awesome with her instructions and I made a really cool checkered flag to set the car on but if I can pull this off....I'm gonna drink!
Since I had pms this week I have literally eaten everthing in the house
but I made my mom's meatloaf and mashed red potatoes and green peas tonight.
What else did I eat this week...lemon pepper talapia, wild rice and brussel sprouts last night.
Samsgranny-dh loves loves loves beanie weenie with cornbread muffins
knox-you seriously have to take pics of this bride and groom in their wedding finest! I have got to see this! ![]()
Tonight is going to be leftover night. We need to clean out the fridge.
Gee....everyone must be busy.
Tonight we had eggs and pancakes.
I ate really well tonight, got that new big plate at Taco Bueno (this way I ate part tonight and have part tomorrow) yum! Stopped on the way back from Michael's where I used my 50% off for the green metal extruder.
flu bug still making its rounds but i'm starting to have some energy and ds finally got some sleep today after NOT sleeping last night. ![]()

Last Night Mom & i ate at PF Chang. Its a Chinese Bistro that opened up here.
I had Lettuce Wraps
Honey chicken
Banana rolls for dessert. It ALL was yummy!!
Tonight was Chick-fil-a
Hey, Y'all!!
Well it sure has been one heck of a week around here! The oldest son had to move back home. He ran out of money and friends. He literally makes the rest of us crazy. This kid has almost killed us. He's got some problems, and he's taking medication for it, but daangg.
Someone please reach into the holster and just shoot me now... ![]()
I finished a 13x9 birthday cake order today and delivered it. No way was I going to cook tonight, after all that piping!
Since the Old Man and youngest were at a friend's watching the UT game, I decided to get BBQ from the local spot. Sooooo good! ![]()
Ribs, Chicken
Slaw
BBQ Beans
Texas toast
PICS IN THE GALLERY--Edited to say that, y'all--Dang I'm about dead!!
--Knox--
Hey everyone I know I was missing in action ![]()
I did a craft show for my candles today(Sat) and I was able to have some cakes. So I was a busy baker. I did my pumpkin spice cake. I saw on the site a cake decorated like a pumpkin pie (Light bulbs went off in head) I thank who ever posted those pics in gallery. And to michelle (I can't think of your site name right now) for the awesome cream cheese frosting recipe. I took sample of the pumpkin cake for tasting. got good reviews. I made the cakes and cupcakes in pumpkin and an apple spice . I sold a few pumpkin cakes. I sold cupckes better than the cakes. I got my name out there and some future orders.
With that said
Knox Dh has a mulet no biker threads.
(wants to see pics) tell them you are working on a book of satisfied cutomers and get there pic
You know if that it is legal or not
Oh and great job on cakes
mxpark I hope your feelin well soon. I didn't have time this time for cookies. I will be doing another show the 29th so maybe then
And instructor you go girl. I need money to but I don't know if I am ready to teach yet.
What did we eat lately???
today lunch was craft food( a polish sausage and a sloppy joe) I made frozen fish sticks, mac n cheese, and hashbrowns for DH and DD.
Last night was french dips done in crockpot easy dump thing in and go. The are YUMMY though.
Anything before that I can't remember or don't know what they all ate. I was a mad women.
I know I really need to get pics of my cakes put together. But some of my pics don't look to good cause of the crappy camera. At least they were all amazed by my pumpkin pie cake ![]()
I guess I will stop for now and take a breath after this long post.
BOSS LADY's gonna be on my butt again if i don't get back in here and start posting
DD--nana's house
DS & me--fazoli's
DH--mexican take-out
heck i guess i'm to tired to go back & read the post, so i'm going to just assume that the pic everyone wants to see from boss lady is of the wedding couple--well i want to see it too
1:46am here & i'm waiting for a cake to cool so i can fill it, stick it in the fridge & ice/deco before church tomorrow--it might just get iced, i'm not a morning person with 8 hrs of sleep, what would y'all think i was with 4 or 5
BOSS LADY--sorry about DS---deep deep deep breaths--i'm sending you extra strength to get you through the day, ((((HUGS))))) &&&&&&& the gun stays in the holster missy ![]()
creamy potato soup with spinach, cran-strawberry juice
trying to convince dh to take me for a vanilla cone later.
well - last night was one hell of a ride with the sickness. i was up all night with either end in/on the porcelain throne. and let me say that bbq just doesn't taste the same coming up. tmi....sorry. but afterwards i felt SOOOO much better. today i'm just battling with body aches.
knox - i know what you mean about not cooking after a caking spree! i usually don't eat either. also - good luck with your son. sometimes things get rough with family but we have to persevere through it.
kay - i've been wanting to make a pumpkin or apple spice cake. sounds yummy! and you'll definitely have to try the cookies. everyone that saw/ate mine were extremely impressed and i have lots of orders for xmas cookies!
Mxpark. I hope you are 100% better VERY soon. I am glad your feeling alittle better.
Tonight I had homeade chicken & dumplings.
For dessert I made Kourambiethes. They are a rich greek butter cookie covered in powered sugar. Man are they simple & delicous. I purchased some at a greek bake sale on Friday & then I hunted for a recipe on the internet. I had to make them...YUMMERS....
edited cause I forgot to ask: Mxpark is that a pic of you on your avatar? Just wondering..
i had chips & cheese dip
family had homemade soup
*waves fat lil' fist in the air like a boss lady should* ![]()
GOTTA KEEP ALL MY GIRLS AT THE TABLE, NOW!!
KAY: Your candles sound yummy! And it's ok that your DH has a mullet...just good that he doesn't do the biker rags with it! ![]()
DALTONAM: Glad you know you should head the table, girl! Thanks for the support on the DS--I'll let y'all figure out what the "D" stands for!! ![]()
MXPARK: That potato soup is good enough for you to send some down here to TN...get on it quick, so I can have a hot lunch on Tuesday!
Thanks for the kind thoughts with the DS, also!
MONICA: Girrrl--you better meet me at the interstate with some of those cookies and some fresh, hot coffee! Dreamy! ![]()
EVERYONE I'VE NOT MENTIONED: THANK YOU to everyone for the kind thoughts; We're at our wits' ends over here. DH is on a month's vacation, and instead of spending it peacefully---THIS!! But thanks to everyone again for your supportive postings!
Tonight was just some blackeyed peas with pork hocks.
Easy!
==Knox==
boss lady--i think u meant 'who' not 'you'-lol
Ok tonight was an easy meal. I am still tired from craft show. And DD bless her heart attempted to do my dishes for the last 2 days. I was joking with her last night and said Brooke why haven't you washed the dishes. Really mommy can I do the dishes. She was so excited about doing them and that I would let her do them. So she started them and did a few more today. BUT I looked at some of them and I will need to rewash them. But I am not going to tell her and break her heart
She tried so hard and I was so tired.
Anyway we had spaghetti with Schwans garlic breads, and breadsticks.
mxpark hope your feelin better soon ![]()
knox I hope that DS that has that other meaning(knows all to well that feeling
) behaves for you soon
monica chicken and dumplings YUM
monica - thanks so much for the well wishes. dh changed the bedsheets and wiped everything down with lysol so hopefully that takes care of all the germs and we can all get back to normal.
those cookies sound yummy. were they hard to make? and yeah - that's me in my avatar.
knox - i wish i could make that soup from scratch but unfortunately it was a packaged mix and i just added water and spinach.
i think the company name is bear creek. not sure though.
kay - my stepdaughter loves helping with chores too. as a matter of fact - so did my brother. but now its a constant fight to get him to put his dish in the sink after dinner!!
why can't they stay so helpful?!? ![]()
![]()
ok y'all - CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS?!? i tried making this and i really didn't like the way it came out. i don't know what i did wrong since everyone here likes it so much. my dh and dad said it was yummy but i didn't really care for it. ![]()
mxpark I know about the help from kids. I know about growing out of helping my teenage DS has chores to and at around age 10 it was like pulling teeth to get him to do anything had to tell him several times to get them done. He would only listen if you screamed at him. He would tone you out otherwise ![]()
![]()
Now he is alittle better he knows if he does his chores first he can do more things. So if he wants to do something extra the first thing he asks is what do you need done?? ![]()
![]()
He knows I will probably let him do things if he get extra chores done.
And there is nothing wrong with adding to store bought food to make it taste better. It is still your own recipe
My spaghetti sauce is the little sauce cup that comes with the Schwans ring cheese bread. It is for dipping the bread in but we don't do that. I didn't want to waste it so I add it to my 2 cans of delmonte sauce (they are each a differnt flavor). It is very unique I have had people say what recipe do you use for your sauce and I laugh ![]()
![]()
When I tell them they are very surprised ![]()
mxpark- the cookies were a sinch to make. The hardest part of making them was you had to beat the butter for 20 minuted or until it become white lite & fluffy. It does not take alot of ingredents either. I will post the recipe if you want me to. Dnag I hope you are better today. Thats SO sweet of DH.
I have no clue whats for din-din tonight. I will be either chili or spegetti.
mxpark- dang I for got to say, you sure are a beautiful lady.
