Anybody Hungry?

I admint, I am no chef, I am no Julia Child or that guy who says "BAM!" when he throws stuff in his food. I am mostly remembered for my blackened, cajun dishes (burnt cube steak, burnt scrambled eggs....) you get the idea. Usually though, I can follow a recipe. Did you know that TSP meant teaspoon? Hmmm....I get "tsp" mixed up with "tbs" and we are in trouble. Bryanna and I have been looking over some recipes and she asked me to make this turkey meatloaf so yesterday I go to Kroger and get all of the ingredients and this morning I mixed it up envisioning the nice dinner we are going to have....it smelled really good cooking and actually looked pretty good upon presentation however, I had put way too much thyme in it and it was very strong. I was able to eat a piece but Bill said he could NOT and these are his exact words "GAG anymore of it down" Bryanna ate a piece, she would eat a piece and take a gulp of water. I actually got a stomach ache a little later and had to drink some Mylanta. Bill said I have a future cooking for Purina...now isn't that a tiny bit mean??? Oh well, just to let you know, Andrew was at his dad's, he would not have even sat down at the table....at least I got taken out to dinner tonight though. We went to Logan's which is a steak place but it is very reasonable and I brought half of my steak home. Bryanna brought the container in and sat it on the table instead of putting it in the refrigerator. So, guess who had steak for dinner tonight? Yes, our sweet little fella Chewy. He is walking around with a bulging stomach right now. That's okay, I don't mind sharing with him.

We are all geared up for the kids to start school tomorrow. We met Andrew's teacher Thursday night and Andrew is taller than her. She is very petite and we really liked her. I think Andrew will have a good year. We went to Bryanna's Open House tonight and met most of her teachers. She has a new Math teacher who seems to be a little more cooperative than last year's Math teacher so hopefully she will have a good year as well. She got along good last year except in Math. She is taking Algrebra this year.

Andrew is playing football again this Fall and will be on the same team-The Falcons. He had his skill assessment yesterday morning. We are all looking forward to football season this year. We like going to the high school games on Friday night and also like to watch Notre Dame. I have tried to get tickets to the University of NC vs. Notre Dame game but without $3,000 I don't think we will get it, send your donations quickly!!! I heard that even the instructors at the college can't get tickets to that game.

Well, this is it. Usually Sunday nights were my "cram" nights for school so now I am lost....guess I will go pick out another recipe for tomorrow (smile)

Have a great week!
