Tony and I spent the better part of yesterday painting our bathroom and installing a new fan/light. My arms are so tired from painting. The color we chose was called shitake, but it’s really a chocolate brown – what do you think of the color?
When we moved into our house, the whole bathroom was pink – even the toilet! We had painted it a tan color, but I really like this color – it goes nice with the white trim.
I knew I was going to have an egg sammie on my fresh baked bread yesterday. I had a fried egg sammie, using the 75% reduced fat cheddar cheese on top.
Just so happens that Menard’s is next to Portillo’s so I picked up lunch 😀
Saturday I put together Beth’s chicken pot pie – but we didn’t have it until last night. I was glad I had made it ahead of time because I was too tired to cook anything! I followed her recipe to the T, except I added two teaspoons of this:
I cheated though – I used a refrigerator crust!
I also cooked mine for 40 minutes.
My plate:
Since we were working on our bathroom, I did not grocery shop or meal plan! This should be interesting on what I can throw together today!
Check out the BSI Round-Up for Carrots – Wow!
Okay, off to figure out what to put together for my breakfast and lunch! 😀
I use the same bouillon! Isn’t it the best!? 🙂
I have been feeling tired too lately… urgh hate it. 🙁
Biz I love that brown color- so warm and cozy!
Your food pictures are so amazing 🙂 I haven’t tried the chicken flavor brand of Better Than…I think it’s GF?!
I think I like the name shitake-brown better. 🙂
Good for you for doing the painting yourself! Guess you really get in touch with your wall, hee hee.
p.s. Have been seeing more of your lovely pics on Tastespotting…Congrats! 😀
Thanks Sophia!! Um, foodgawker still says they are mostly dull/unsharp/uninteresting! 😀
Yum looks good. And the colour is great! It does look like chocolate brown, but I’m very partial to chocolate brown, myself. There’s something so elegant about it.
I love the color, it looks wonderful!!!
And Portillos!!!??? You just made me very homesick! They have the best fries and chocolate cake. Is it sad that if I were going through the drive-thru right now that’s what I would want to order? : )
hzope you’re having a great week, Biz!!!
the chicken pot pie looks really yummy and easy to make! I just had it while dinning out yesterday 🙂 and plan to make one myself!
I like that color! I really really really want to paint our house, but am too lazy/scared to do it myself and too cheap to pay someone. How much of a pain is it?
First of all, it’s always going to take you four times longer than you think it is going to be – but we saved HUGE DOUGH doing it ourselves – I am so lucky my husband is handy and knows what he’s doing! 😀
I’m glad the pot pie was voted a keeper! I like it alot!
great color for the walls, beautiful! don’t you love that better then bullion, i use it all the time.
Your bathroom looks great! Love the color…….
And you egg sammie is not too bad either 🙂
Have a good night!
I love the color! great choice…
I loooooove chicken pot pie but I don’t think I want to eat meat anymore and now I am just sad lol….
Oh my gosh – I LOVE the brown! I’m thinking about painting my bathroom that color, too.
