Yeah, We're There

Are you familiar with babies at all? Or any of the games they start to play? You know, dropping things just because they know you will pick them up and give them back?


I spent a good 15 minutes the other day picking Lexie's bottle up off of the floor. As she giggled her mischievious little giggle. She's lucky her Aunt Amber loves her so much. And that she's as adorable as she is.

Menu Plan Monday - January 28

Last week's beef stew recipe was a definite hit - the two of us devoured the entire crock in one meal. I gave the cheeseburger macaroni recipe a second chance last week because I thought it would be better with tomato sauce instead of tomato soup (the first time I followed the recipe exactly and it smelled like vomit). It was definitely better this time, but I still don't think that recipe is a keeper for our house.

Monday - tacos in pasta shells



Tuesday - easy cheesy chicken with rice



Wednesday - enchiladas



Thursday - leftovers



Friday - ?

It Has Nothing To Do With Sexism

Yesterday I fixed a crock pot beef stew (which was absolutely fabulous, by the way). So when we got home from work last night, the whole apartment smelled delicious. I made the comment that I wished I knew how (and had all the necessary ingredients) to make cornbread to go with the stew. Hubby said "I think you just mash corn into bread"(I assure you he was kidding around - he's not a moron).

My response?

"This is why I do the cooking, dear."

Wednesday - Spaghetti
Thursday - Breakfast Night
Friday - Baked Chicken and Stuffing

Menu Plan Monday - November 26


Ok, so I'm not the greatest at sticking to my menu precisely. Oh, I fix the meals I plan for, just not always when I plan for them. So I'm going to stop making my plans that specific. It just doesn't work for me. Instead, how about I just post what meals I am planning for the week and wing it as far as which night I fix them? I think this will keep Hubby from getting bummed when I rearrange the menu and we have one meal when he was looking forward to a different one. So here's what I'm fixing this week. And I'm planning for at least a couple of leftover nights somewhere along the way.

Chili

The Grand Tour, Part 1

The family has been practically begging for pics of the new apartment, so I thought I'd do them one better and give them a video tour. And since the video was too big to send in an email, the blog gets a little lovin' too.

Expect part 2 sometime after I get the bedroom and bathroom straightened up a bit (read: sometime between now and next Friday).
