Popcorn 101

Tony, hands down, makes the best popcorn.  Our popcorn of choice this time of year?  Boy Scout popcorn!  It’s all white kernals and it pops up really well.  This time of year they sell it outside of grocery stores and Sams’s Club.  Our second favorite is Orville Redenbacher. The secret to Tony’s popcorn?  No lid.  We use a mesh screen – that way the popcorn...

Crap Fair

Yep, I spelled that right.  the CRAFT fair was just CRAP!  First of all, it was about 1/10th the size of last years, and it was mostly retail stuff – I would have to say that 10% of it was actually handmade things!  The only thing I got at this fair was a snowman apron – I wore it while putting dinner together! My mom...

Tony loves me!

He said he had a special present for me when I got home from work . . . I couldn’t guess so I just had to wait until I got home. And this is what I found!  This baby is HEAVY!  I weighed it on my scale and it comes in at 15 pounds!  Tony is going to christen it today for his dinner menu.  ...

I only had

one trick or treater tonight by the time I got home from work.  Tony only gave out six pieces of candy before I came home.  We were even sitting on our deck, bowl of candy in sight, and people walked right by us!  So since I thought we’d be sitting outside, and I really didn’t feel like cooking tonight, we ordered a pizza! Yes, I...

Party Pizza Thursday?!

What’s up with that?!  Well, Hannah and I don’t like meatloaf, so we had plan B.  Luckily I had leftover pizza dough, so that was a quick decision for us! The dough gets a special chewy/crispy texture when it sits in the fridge for any length of time.  It was so good! Simple – a few slices of pepperoni, sliced banana peppers from my mom’s...

soup salad and sammie!

I realized I haven’t been eating as many veggies, so decided to add on a spinach salad with Annie’s goddess dressing.   This is the only flavor I have tried and am looking forward to some of her other flavors – if they are as good as this goddess one, I’ll be in heaven!  (Just have never seen them on sale though :O) Lunch: 12 ounces...
