This picture is before the game waiting for the other team to get on the field!
Anyway, the game was pretty exciting and the boys seem to have had a great time. No game until next week and the Falcons will face the undefeated (so far....) Giants!
Cooking update: I realized the other day why I do not like to cook. It is not the cooking part but the cleaning up part. I think I would enjoy cooking if I did not have to clean up the mess that I make afterwards. This profound thought hit me as I was cleaning the George Foreman grill. I am on my 4th George Foreman grill. This recent grill was a wedding gift from Chris and is a nice big one. I have had all different sizes and wore out the first 3. I love to use the grill, but hate cleaning it. I think that is why Emeril and all those other people like to cook....think about it, they give some assistant cook the recipe and this person gathers all the ingredients and chops and measures everything, the CHEF then puts it all together and then you know someone else cleans up the mess. Who would not enjoy cooking like that? This past Saturday I found a recipe on the internet for Chicken and Dumplings for the crock pot. I knew that Bill was going to be gone most of the day and I was not sure when he would be home (he took his first hunting trip with his boss, just call him "ELMER FUDD") so I wanted to make something in the crock pot. This recipe was so easy and surprisingly enough it was very good! The dumplings are actually buttermilk canned biscuits that you quarter and in the crock pot they float up to the top and brown. If you serve this with a salad or green beans, it makes a nice dinner. I was thinking too that you could add carrots to the crock pot but since I don't like carrots that much, I did not do that. Anyway, it is something I will make again on a nice cold day.
What about that Notre Dame game? They almost blew it but came through. I still am not believing that this Saturday ND is playing in North Carolina and I cannot go...wah! I saw some tickets on eBay but can't justify paying that much if we want to have electricity and water for the next couple of months.....haha Go Irish!
So back to the hunting trip. Elmer a.k.a. Bill, drags us all over to Bass Pro Shop on Friday night to get his hunting license and hunting gear. If you have never been to a Bass Pro Shop you are really missing out. They have everything for hunting and fishing and they do have really nice clothes. I have bought sweaters there for myself. Some of the stuff is very expensive and you have to look around really good. The first hat Bill picked up was $39.99 but after some searching we found one just as good for $4.99. Anyway, we finally got him outfitted and after a few glitches, got his license. He got up at 5:00 am on Saturday morning and away he went. The only "wildlife" he spotted were some lizards crawling up a tree, oh well, maybe next time.
And of course the blog would not be complete without a picture of the baby. Here is our little angel playing with his "baby":
That's it for now. Hope everyone is doing okay and staying well!
