Well, we've been having trouble with our "ya-ya" blog so I thought I would update on this one and keep trying to copy and paste on the old blog until we can get the kinks worked out of it.I just wanted to say THANK YOU to my family for having Sunday dinner with us this past Sunday. It's always such an honor, privilege and labor of love to cook dinner for you all. I guess "acts of service" is my love language and I feel fulfilled when I'm "doing" for other people...especially my family.
The food was good...so you said anyway! :) I made a chicken and rice casserole, homemade squash casserole straight from OUR OWN garden, baked corn OFF the cob that Dale made...he got the recipe from his mother, and oh my goodness was it ever good! Southern ladies just know how to cook! Then we had English peas & spoon rolls laden with butter, honey, or homemade fig preserves!!
For dessert I made turtle brownies, homemade cinnamon rolls, & banana pudding. YUM-O!
The food was fabulous, but the company was even better. The conversation was light and encouraging and of course lots of laughs sprinkled in.
We've only got less than two weeks now before we hit the road for vacation to Florida. We are going to be traveling buddies with Mom & Dad. They have leased a "condo" down in Orlando for a year and so we're going down there to help "pretty it up" so we all will have access to it throughout the year. Mom and dad have already been down there once and plan on taking full advantage of their getaway place during the cold winter months.
We plan to mix the right amount of relaxation with fun and attractions. Our plans at this point are to go to Medieval Times dinner theatre, Sea World, Disney's Animal Kingdom, and possibly Magic Kingdom if we don't wear ourselves out!
I'll be sure to post pictures of our trip when we get back.
Well, I'm going to wrap this up for now. I've got a doctor's appointment this afternoon and piano lessons this evening. Yes...I've started taking lessons again...and I'm LOVING it!
So, I better get to practicing for a bit and then make sure I have the stuff ready to go for dinner tonight.
Looks like my menu is going to be:
Fried Ocean Perch
Crab Fried Rice
Fresh Green Beans (from the garden! )
Asiago Cheese Toast
&.........Banana Pudding or Rice Krispy Treats for dinner!!
Mmmm....can't wait!
Blessings to you all -
Mel
