    Spent another super weekend with grandson, I fell asleep on the couch and he gave me a kiss. He understands every word I say, but still does not talk much - typical man, huh?

    Hope all of you had a good weekend too.

    Making it short, got a bit of pain to deal with and sleep helps.

    TTFN.

    http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/8/8_19_1.gif Just in case I oversleep and miss tomorrow!

    Feel better Chery, hugs sweet heart!

    Lot's a rest and your fluffy kitty!

    Here are a few recipies I found. The dumplings and cakes are delicious!

    Hope you can try and like them as much as I do.

    You don't know what potato dumplings are like until you try them with home-made gravy, or slice and fry them with onions and bacon after a night in the fridge... yummy!

    Cowboy Boots

    (Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this one!)

    Did you hear about the Texas teacher who was
    Helping one of her kindergarten students put
    On his cowboy boots?

    He asked for help and she could see why.

    Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little
    Boots still didn't want to go on. By the time they
    Got the second boot on, she had worked up a sweat.

    She almost cried when the little boy said,
    'Teacher, they're on the wrong feet.'
    She looked, and sure enough, they were.

    It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than
    It was putting them on. She managed to keep
    Her cool as together they worked to get the
    Boots back on, this time on the right feet.

    He then announced, '... These aren't my boots.'

    She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face
    And scream, 'Why didn't you say so?', like she
    Want ed to. Once again, she struggled to help him
    Pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet. No sooner
    Had they gotten the boots off when he said,

    'They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear 'em.'

    Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry.
    But, she mustered up what grace and courage
    She had left to wrestle the boots on his feet again.

    Helping him into his coat, she asked,
    '... Now, where are your mittens?'

    He said, 'I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots.'

    She will be eligible for parole in three years

    Ham cheese broccoli quiche is what I'm making tonight.
    It's baking as I type!

    2 pie crusts (thaw out)
    3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
    1/2 lb ham cut in small cubes
    1 package frozen broccoli
    1 can cheddar cheese soup
    1 8oz cup sour cream
    6 eggs
    Milk (about 1/2 a cup) maybe 3/4 c, I just poor a little in at a time.

    Preheat oven 400 F

    Layer chopped broccoli, ham, and cheese in pie crust.

    Beat together eggs, soup, sour cream
    Then add a little milk
    Continue to beat and add milk until mix is smooth
    Then poor in pie crusts on top of filling

    Sprinkle some cheese on top

    Bake 30 to 45 minutes - keep checking it though, mines not done cooking though so I'm not positive about the time:)

    Edit - OK, it's safe to say that it is not 30 minutes LOL

    Thanks AK!!
    I was just talking to Firmy about getting a garden up and going for my fresh wggies and herbs, I need to do some serious planning. I want organic and tasty!
    I will see about getting all that stuff for the dinner, maybe tomorrow... :) thanks so much for the recipe!
    I know you have your flowers planted, are you going to try for some veggies or anything?

    It cooked for about 45 to 50 minutes and it would be better for a breakfast.
    Kind of tasted like an omelet LOL

    I had my own strawberries once, but the squirrels would eat them or carry them off to their nests.
    We ended up keeping them going just for the squirrels but those pesky little buggers ended up killing all the plants (or either I did and just don't know it LOL)

    I've thought about planting other stuff before but haven't as of yet.

    OH! I've done watermelons!! Very easy!! And fun!! Kids love it!!

    LOL! Cute Story start!!

    I love spinach quiche!! And calzones!!
    I'd love to have your recipe.

    Start, you whip the stuff together lol
    I said beat - which kind of sounds like I'm referring to using a mixer,
    My cooking terminology could use some work.

    Maybe a moderator could make a list of the changes for us, just to keep us updated - that would be nice.

    Start.. you copycat! You always seem to do things the same day as I am. I'm done with my laundry, how about you? I do admitt that I'm one up on you though, I only have one person to do laundry for, so it takes a while to get that hamper full enough. But today was blanket and sheet day, and I have lots of those, in different colors.

    Got my clothes ready for the weekend though and looking forward to my grandson again. He's into dancing to everything now, and commercials make him drop everything he's doing and he starts to shake his booty - what a lovely sight!

    Hope all of you are warm and well.

    Thank you , thank you, thank you, feels good.

    She returns this Thursday evening, plane lands at 7:20 pm at O'Hare International. Things should improve no doubt.

    Lots of pressure on the job, the stupid kind that gives you headaches and stress.

    Funny, as you know my son works for me, and the other day we were driving to a seminar and these pressures were pretty high. I guess I was covering every subject in our business that there was. After about a half hour into this he turned, looked at me, smiled and asked; "when did you say Marta is coming back?" OK, I got it... :rolleyes:

    Ok, to be very honest, I managed to stop for about five days. I have come to a compromise, I am now trying this on a "slow down to quit" basis. (Somewhat ashamed of myself for not stopping completely)

    I was smoking about 40 to 45 a day before, now I am doing 10 to 15 a day. I know that is still not good, but I wanted to be honest with you and myself here. I am planning on reducing these as the weeks go by.

    I know it's not good, but I don't want to look at this a complete failure; this is 30 less cigarettes a day. And hopefully it will get to zero.

    It is very tough, and the stress can make a difference... :mad:
