Fish tacos = one note

Before I talk about dinner, look what came in the mail for me today! As I was yelling YIPPEE! Tony and Hannah said that they wanted to have an intervention – I get too many magazines!  But I have to say, all of my magazines are free from Tony’s priority points, so its not like I am throwing money out the door – but I...

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We probably only got about 2 or 3 inches, not too bad for our first measurable snow fall!  I love how pretty it first looks, but it quickly gets dirty and ugly looking.  The worst part this morning was that when I was scraping the cars, the first layer was all ice and it took me about 15 minutes to scrape them off.  And traffic...

Turkey tetrazzini!

Growing up, my Dad used to make this dish.  However, one particular night, when my mom was traveling on business, he decided to make it for dinner.  One walk into the kitchen and I could not figure out what the smell was!  Me: “Hey Dad, what are you making?” Dad: “Turkey tetrazzini!” Me: “Um, what recipe did you use?” Dad: “the usual one that your...

Excellent shopping. . .

I went to Fresh Market and Trader Joe’s this week for groceriies.  Between the two stores I spent $84!  That’s huge considering how expensive everything is at The Fresh Market.  I ended up getting my tilapia, shrimp, and as a treat 10 stuffed escargot shells for Tony.  They have the escargot and herb butter mixture all in each shell and I end up baking them in...

Snow on the way!

Yep, supposedly we are going to get up to six inches of snow by tomorrow!  Last December 1st Hannah had a snow day from school, so hopefully we won’t repeat that this year! I defrosted steak last night, but didn’t use it, so I diced up some for a steak/egg scramble with an ounce of peasant bread with a pat of butter.  Now I am...

Plan B

I swear when Hannah and I went to the store I picked up yeast for the pizza dough.  I remember because it was on sale: two 3 packs for $3.00 which is a great price! So Hannah’s friend is over, and I start to make the pizza dough.  No yeast!  I look everywhere, Hannah doesn’t remember seeing it, and its not on my receipt.  Nertz!...

Decorating!

Hannah pulled out some of our decorations and we were able to put the lights on the outside of the deck, around the front door AND we got a new decoration! I also put this out, but I am missing one of the snowmen – I need to find it and glue it back on! I picked up lunch while we were out and got...

Tony is so good to me!

He found a movie I would like on t.v., For Your Consideration.  It’s the same cast as in Best in Show, and a Mighty Wind.  I just love those type of quirky movies!  So with coffee in hand, Tony went to make me breakfast.  SO GOOD!  The surprise though was that there were scrambled eggs with Tabasco in the middle!  I have a feeling this...
