Weekly Menu for April 17, 2023

Happy Monday, friends! It's a chilly overcast day in west Texas. It actually looks like rain clouds, and the radar confirms that it is. Rain is RARE out here. Cold fronts come through and all we get is hurricane force winds, no rain. So, I'm excited for the possibility of rain. If only I had a tin roof to listen to it come down on *sigh*

As I said in my last post, last week's menu went to hell in a handbasket. I made good food choices, just not what I planned. Hubs requested "red neck food, not your fancy diet stuff". So, let's see what's on the menu for this week...

Monday - hamburgers and fries. I'll eat mine without a bun in a lettuce leaf and I'll have zucchini fries instead of potato fries.

Tuesday - roast and gravy, potatoes and carrots. I'll do mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes.

Wednesday - Mardi Gras chicken and shrimp. I didn't get it last week so it's getting cooked this week.

Thursday - alligator sauce piquant. Hubs specifically mentioned this dish this morning when we discussing dinner. I'll eat mine over cauliflower rice

Friday - dinner out

Want to take bets on if I stick with the menu? Until next time...

Make it work....

OK. So, the fabric I got from the challenge isn't tooooo bad together :) I'm making it work. My problem is with the trims. What am I suppose to do with the ribbon and lace??? Maybe a lace rose? Ribbon straps?with suspender clips? AACCKKK!!!! I'd post a pic and get suggestions but my rules said I can't do that. Soooo, I guess I'm on my own. I'll keep you posted! In other designing news...I've got a Valentine set finished. It goes in the mail tomorrow to the model. I got more Valentine fabric to sew. Not sure what I'm doing with it yet though. And another Valentine set planned, but with not overly Valentine fabric so it could be worn later in the year. Pretty, isn't it? Andddd...be on the lookout for a new website. www.boutiquerascals.com I'll have my wonderful creations for sale there and there will be lots of great things from all my Rascal buddies. We'll have clothes, bows, purses, jewelry, tooth fairy pillows, lots of great things!...

My Reading Habits

I am an avid book reader. I have even been known to read a good bit of fanfiction (I'm a Twifan...yes, I admit that in public). Since joining Goodreads I've come to love to do reading challenges. In case you're like my best friend and have no clue what that might be, let me explain. A reading challenge can be as simple as setting a reading goal for the year. Or it can be as complex as one I'm doing next year that is an Artist Color Wheel Challenge - find book covers that are mainly the colors on the color wheel and are the shades of the grey scale. Anyway, I read Book Chick City's blog http://www.bookchickcity.com/ and they're doing a Mystery/Suspense reading challenge that I'm going to join in on next year. I'm going to see if I can read 12 mystery/suspense books. You may be thinking that that isn't a whole lot of books for someone who claims to be an avid reader; and you're right, it's not BUT I normally don't read myste...

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Until Next Time...
