Sommertime and the livin's easy...

10-01-08 Daddy turned 33!

Today was Chris' 33rd birthday... and all he wanted was dinner. So Rowyn and I got up and headed out to the grocery store to get some extra special ingredients.

Ready to go to the grocery store.

I think we may have gotten a few extras...lol

Oh! Off the subject... but when i got home from the grocery store... i have this big box on the porch from scholastic... i subscribed to some different book clubs for Rowyn... CareBears, Dr. Suess, Disney Classics... and some others... and normally they will send like 2books along with a bill for like $15-$17. Well today I got a whole box of Dr. Suess books...

it was like they were sending me the remaining books in the collection... and look at the bill that was attached to it.

Awesome huh!?!... im sure it was a mistake and they will invoice me for more money... that is just my luck!

Oh and i got a new air freshener for Rowyns stinky diaper pail... which is a diaper genie...by the way... only to get home and realize that... there is no plug!

Any suggestions on how to make her room smell better?

Ok, so daddys special dinner was a surprise to him. I wanted to make him Chicken n Dumplins... This is one of his favorites and he is always saying how much he LOVES his moms recipe. So i was determined.
Here are my ingredients.

Start by shreadding the meat off of a rotisserie chicken.

Next add oil to skillet and onions to oil.

Peel and Chop Celery and Carrots

Add 6cans of chicken stock to a empty pot.

Then add Celery, Carrots and Onions.

Bring to Boil and Boil for 10min to soften vegtables.

In the meantime, prepare your dumplins. Flour each side and cut into eighths.

Add Chicken,and 1can Chicken Gravy to pot. Boil another 10min.

Drop Dumpins in a few at a time, and stir. Simmer for about 10more min.

Mine multiplied so i had to grab a second pot.

Daddy was very happy to see his bday surprise dinner when he came home from work.

Oh and then there was lemon cream cake... that was store bought... i had enough cooking to do, right?

Chris, in his "Man Room"... after dinner... yes that is a gun... he decided to clean it... dont ask, who knows... hes a guy.

UPDATE TO: Please Vote: Which costume should Rowyn get this year?

I finally sat down today to order Rowyn's halloween costume from

The Winner of the recent 9-11-08 Poll was:

The Dragonfly

However, I was upset to find out that the undergarments

that go with the costume were on back order until 10-30-08.

Yeah... TOTALLY BUMMED!

So then I thought well i will order the Peacock.

only to find out that undergarments

for that costume also are on back order until 10-30-08.

So then I found another set of undergarments that are made exclusively for selected costumes: Tan-The Owl, Pink-The Pink Poodle, Green-The Frog, and Red-The Lobster So we decided to go with the Lobster.

Chris and I kinda thought this little baby in this picture kinda looked like Rowyn. What do you think? I guess we will have to do a real side by side comparison once the costume comes in.

Oh, and BTW... Chris just informed me, that 10-30-08 is opening weekend for rifle season, and he will more than likely be at the Deer Lease.

!?!WHAT!?!

Please Comment back and give him your opinion.
I'm sure he would LOVE to hear it. lol
But, do it anyways, for my sake! lol

What's for Dinner?

Update:
I have gotten some really good recipes, which you can find in the comments section at the bottom of this post.

Found this:

A Year of CrockPotting.
This lady

was on Rachel Ray.
My friend Jessica replied today telling me about her.

Found this:

This is the dooming daily question that I must have answered every day by 2:00pm. Why, 2:00pm...? Well, I really like cooking in the crock pot, and on high it takes 4 hours for a meal to be ready by 6:00pm.

So again today, I run into the same dilema...

"What do I cook for dinner?"
"What do I have ingredients for?" (because i hate having to go to the store)
"Do I have side dish stuff to go with that?"

I need your help...

Do you know of any great crock-pot recipes?
Or even casserole recipes?

I would be so thankful. lol

Love, Megan
