I am lucky because my office has Starbuck’s breakfast blend – there’s just nothing like that first cup of coffee! Our thin steaks left us kind of snackish last night so I made popcorn in our enameled stock pot – it turned out so crunchy! This morning I took Ed on a 30 minute walk – it was almost 50 degrees this morning!  When I got...

My local grocery store on my drive home has clearance meat where the sell by date is either tomorrow or the next day.  I picked up two steaks at 50% off!  They were thin (which Tony loves – NOT!) and I may have overcooked them a tad.  But Ed sure liked the bones! But this afternoon I was doing some dictation, when all of a...

of my lunch today.  I took 3 ounces of shrimp and 3 ounces of pasta from Tony’s dinner last night and mixed them with mixed stirfry veggies and the last tablespoon of szechwan sauce and peanut sauce.  Yum!  His response: “you are ruining the subtle flavors I so lovingly prepared!” Biggest Loser Update: I hate Vicky!  She is so mean spirited – I am so...

I woke up to the smell of peppermint coffee – thanks Hannah!  Well, I should thank my mom, she’s the one who gave those beans to us!  She volunteers at a food pantry and last year they had POUNDS of peppermint coffee – only problem was that they were whole beans, and since they were prepackaged, they couldn’t just grind them and repackage them – I...

Because I couldn’t think of anything to make, Tony stepped in and made the decision for us.  So good! Seafood Alfredo!  His sauce base was a white sauce made with skim milk and parmesan cheese – and he used chili powder to kick it up a notch! The seafood of choice was shrimp! Here’s Tony in action: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tarx5GO6B0] The finished product? And there are plenty...

As I was thinking what to bring for lunch today I forgot about the chili from last week – and its still good!  Sliced up the last jalapeno and had an ounce of tortilla chips for dipping.  And of course, the Tabasco sauce! And since I forgot my camera yesterday, I couldn’t show off my new snowman mug!  I don’t usually have santas, but I couldn’t pass this...

It was 23 degrees this morning and frost over everything.  Poor Ed misses the car rides to the trails – they are closed this week for deer reduction.  This morning was no exception – I let him out in the backyard before I took Hannah to school and when I went to see where he was, he was sitting patiently beside the car! Pretty soon...

I’ve had this on the menu a few times, but it never came together.  I made it with chicken breasts, not cut up chicken, much to Tony’s dismay.  But, I did have to use up the chicken breasts!  But since I forgot my camera earlier today, I took this picture which I thought was kind of cool! And guess what I came home to? I...

So since I can’t work out, and I chickened out of walking because its CHILLY, I decided I would fulfill my TAG duties!

So I took Ed for a quick walk this morning – 27 degrees!  I had my camera in my winter coat pocket to take the usual morning pictures.  I came home, brought in some more wood for the wood burning stove, made my breakfast and lunch and got ready for work. I decided I didn’t need my winter coat for the drive to work and...
