Sinful Saturday

Vette · Owl drink to that!

I just left the theatres, Furious 7. It was really good, some of the action was pretty far fetched but, still good.

Could you pick out the fake Paul? Or any repeat scenes?

I want to see it. But I think I might find it a bit sad.

I thought this would be a good title for today since everyone was talking about Jesus dying for our sins. And maybe in preparation for tomorrow when everyone practices gluttony at Easter dinner?

Gluttony? I don't practice gluttony at Easter dinner. Eating a meal is not gluttony. Now, all the candy eating from the eggs and easter baskets is probably gluttony.

If DS2 cooks tomorrow, it will be ham, so, yeah, no gluttony here.

Lots to do today but no Easter related. Hair app't have to go to UPS to ship my broken sound system back, bunch of other stuff. And I want to start tackling my garage and get at least half cleaned and organized. I re screened three window screens last night and need to put them back in the windows. My plan is get a good jump on spring clean up this year so I can focus on the landscaping over the next couple of months.

I like holiday w/e's when I don't have to travel, it is so relaxing. And DS and I will have a great meal out tomorrow.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I try not to travel during holidays. I really wanted to to to Hilton Head for shopping but the weeks before and after Easter are insane so I will stay on my side of the river until May.

I don't know that feasting is gluttony?

I'm having Lean Cuisine chicken marsala for breakfast.

I had a homemade sausage biscuit. The sausage is the homemade part. Yumo! I love fresh sausage.

My female cat is a little on the high strung side. One of the males loves to antagonize her. It's like watching children.

Grind up meat, add spices, salt and stuff into a cleanly prepared intestine!

Yes. Sans casings. I make patties.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Lean ground pork. Salt, pepper, paprika, fennel, crushed red pepper. 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of each depending on how much heat you like.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I also make a maple, apple, chicken sausage. The apple gives it the moisture.

I think it's a Rachel Ray recipe. It has sage and pepper in it too.

I promised DH bacon. I've sort of not been the greatest wife lately. Between work and Gordito he's getting the short end of the stick. I promised he could sleep in, and then I'd make him coffee, bacon and biscuits.

Ladies can you do it all? Or does someone always get shafted?

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Good morning all!!

Been up since 5 this morning. DH and I enjoyed viewing the eclipse.
The buns are now out of the oven. I have a freshly made dessert in the frig. I'm now ready to cook 3 dozen eggs for the grand's to color this afternoon.
It is a great day.

I hope everyone else's day is as good. smile

I want pictures of everybody's eggs!

Yup.

It was usually me around here.

I'm up and mostly ready to go. DH is still sleeping. I'm here and trying to work on homework. I need to go shopping for vegetable and am not looking forward to the stores on a Saturday.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

Bonny,

It's a balancing act. DH1 traveled for work, so most of the time it was only me. It gets easier as the kids get older.

I don't feel good. I thought I somehow dodged the crud that has been infecting my family for the last few weeks, but it caught up with me. We have plans to meet friends for an egg hunt and Easter festivities downtown, then I need to boil eggs to dye and some to make deviled eggs with. Then of course making easter baskets and hiding eggs tonight. Its going to be a long day. I just want to stay in bed.

I'm sorry to hear that, NAOW. I hope you feel better, soon.

It was always, "Mom gets it last, Mom gets it worst", at our house, when the kids were little.

Bonny don'y try to do it all. Let the little things go. The house doesn't have to be spotless at all times. Make a few simple meals during the week.

Thanks. I got the chicken at cracker barrel. I have been contemplating doing another counter like this or some other item below the epoxy.

That would be cool! What were you thinking of using, if you don't go with pennies again? confuse

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

I was thinking flat marbles or some type of glass. The counter I want to do is about 7 feet long and houses my stand mixer, Keurig, nutri bullet, and microwave. They are all stainless and/or black. I have some chicken and rooster decor over that way and copper molds on the wall.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Just got back from the farmer's market. Wanted honey. None to be found. I got fresh mozzarell cheese, fresh ravioli (4 cheese, truffled lobster, and goat cheese basil lemon), some sauce, and fresh perogis!

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Oh and fresh made kettle corn!

That sounds like it would be really pretty, SB!

Okay, I have to ask, since I know you have cats. How did you keep them from "Helping"?

(I'd be afraid one of mine would hop up there, and mess it up, if I tried a project like that.) wink

I don't think that would stop my crew. But, then again, there are 6 of them! wink

I had 3 at the time and a dog who liked to peek in the counter for something to steal.

Bonny - someome ways gets shafted. The key is to keep rotating who it is. Sorry. Wish I had better advice. Lol Usually if there was a way, I would ensure I was the one who got the short end of the stick - but my
DH recognizes that and spoils me when he can so it all works out.

Surprise - DH invited people over today to watch a game on TV. So I cleaned this morning.

Surprise - DD invited people over tomorrow for Easter dinner. So I am cooking tomorrow now. Lol. Apparently the dining hall is serving chicken fingers. Not for Easter dinner. Just. No. Lol. So I am happy to host a bunch of teenagers who will eat and smile and laugh and appreciate my cooking.

Won't be on much - have to company clean, shop, cook...gonna be busy. Was looking forward to a lazy weekend. Not gonna happen.
