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...

Naked in Death by JD Robb

"I don't think I'm in love with you anymore, I know I am."  Oh. my. gah.  I am sooo in love with Roarke! Holy balls!  Why did I wait so long to read this? (actually I listened) It's like an amazing episode of CSI or Law & Order or some show like that....not that I watch tv all that often, but yeah, Lt Eve Dallas would put those shows to shame! The crime solving portion of the book, which honestly was the majority of the book, was great.  There was enough creep factor to the crime and the reasoning when you found out who it was that did it and why, but it wasn't so bad that you wanted to put it down.  It just made me mad that I couldn't have killed the pervy old man myself. This is definitely a series I will continue.  It may also just convert me to an audio book listener....as you may or may not know, my previous attempts at listening have not gone so well.  But this kept my attention pretty well and I loved the voice characterization of Roa...

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

August of Accomplishments

The Oxford definition for ACCOMPLISHMENT is "something that has been achieved successfully".   I am claiming August as the Month of Accomplishments for my massive cross stitch WIP collection.  My plan is to finish some of the WIPs that are close to being finished or that I have had in the WIP pile for a long time.  Here's a look at my stitching spot...Notice the basket on the floor, it is full of WIPs.  Notice the pile on the sofa, it's all WIPs.  I have got to get some of these gone, especially since I LOVE starting new projects. So, am thinking I will work on Calvin and Trixie.  I am sooooo close on this one.  I even bought finishing fabric for it. I think I will try to complete the January SAL from Little House and Country Cottage Stitching Group on Facebook.  The theme was winter.  I bought finishing fabric for this too. I also want to finish up Seasons in Chalk: Stars and S...
