Cowl won't moo!

I finished knitting my cowl for class yesterday after we got back from Bloomington. Now all I have to do is write the instructions and take it over to JoAnnes. Time!! . Either use an 11 or a 13 for it. O yes Question! There's a 10 1/2, but why not a 12?? Good question! Right?!

Soup's on

Seriously!!! It's potato!! Now let me tell you how!

A 3x3 piece of ham. I bought all that ham when Nanny was here. Remember?
4 potatoes, too small for bakers
Wash them! Matt wanted to really wash them, think machine,but just scrub and peel off the ugly.
Cut up and boil in water until tender along with the ham.
Meanwhile cut up half a white onion and add that to water.
Boil as long as you want but 10 minutes max.
Now add Coffemate. Yes that's right. It's the powder kind and the whole idea is to make it creamy. Remember Dad/Pappy couldn't have milk. Any way I bought all that creamer stuff. So let's use it up. And, yes, I am aware that Coffeemate has milk in it. But Dad wasn't allergic;and Mom didn't use that much as evident by what's left.

Pepper it. Really pepper it. Add a bay leaf if you have any.
When it is nice and bubbly turn off heat and add half a package of chopped, frozen spinach.

It's good! Excuse me, I think I'll go add those candied carrots from the restaurant.

Whoops! Thinking again!

Hey!! I am just wondering, as I watch the FOOD NETWORK. Is it possible to get an IDAHO potato in England? China? Peru? Australia? South Africa? I don't know why but sometimes I just have to wonder! The boys would say that I mustn't let my mind wander too far. It may get lost!! Can't afford that!!

Still busy?

Matt and I went to dance/tumbling class last night! He did wonderful!! I, however,did not realize how sore my arms and legs would be today! He's been up since about 7:30 and fully intended to go again! Got to love the kid!! BenGay is now a friend to me again!! Bless his heart, I mean heat! You never realize how sweet youth is. Really!!

Time and time again

We'll change time this weekend. At 1am Saturday to be precise. So many things to remember. I really look forward to December 21. The pagans worshipped the return of the SUN that day because the days got longer. Funny thing! Put 2 and 2 together and you have son. Sure cut down on a lot of fighting!

Another one

So far so good. Except the nose part! Did you know Neosporin is better than Vicks for a stuffy nose? True story! Got it straight from the ped, Dr. Moss, last month. Sorry I took so long to pass it on.

Matt

Office play! He is so much fun! Busy all the time!! He now opens the frig and gets whatever. Leaves the eggs alone. Mac and cheese is fair game.
