Now... on to other matters.
I have been sharing odds and end things that I am learning. It is time for my dear friends on Blogger to share their wealth of knowledge. So occasionally I will be asking a question that I am curious about. If your read this blog and my journal you may see these questions twice, but if you only ready here it will be a whole new question to you. But I like getting a wide variety of answers. So now on to my question:
What are your dinner staples? You know the things you fix on a regular basis. The stuff you nearly always buy the ingredients for just to have on hand. The stuff that you whip together when you don't feel like following a recipe or don't have a lot of time. That's the stuff I'm talking about. The stuff you eat often.
For us those would be:
Spaghetti
Chicken Tacos
Chicken Provolone
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Baked Potatoes
Chicken and Stovetop
RiceARoni
Fish Sticks
Ham Steaks
Crock Pot Roast & veggies
All of course paired with a fruit or vegetable. I just got curious what other people fix for dinner, while I was fixing one of our tried and true the other night.
And another thing:
I just found out about this reading another blog. I'm a
And now I shall spread the love.
See here's how it works
The rules for the “You Make My Day” award are to re-present it to 10 people whose blogs bring you happiness and inspiration and make you feel happy about blog land. Let them know through email or by posting a comment on their blog so they can pass it on.
And since I have a rather small number of blogs that I'm able to keep up with over here and some of that small number has already been nominated by other people.. I'm able to give away awards without feeling bad because frankly, you all make my day whenever I'm able to make it over to blogger.
Put on your best red-carpet smile... here we go:
1. I nominate A BOOKWORM because you keep me in the library loop and you've always made my day anyway.
2. ART, because you always have a song in your heart that carries you through even rough times and I find that inspiring and happy.
3. NAN, formerly known as CATE IMAGINES. For being the fun grandmother who just makes me smile because you just exude youth yourself.
4. EMILY - You, much like farmwife, have a great turn of phrase and crack me up on a regular basis.
5. INKLING - I don't often post to your blog, but I do read it and you are ever willing to reach out and ever diligent... you inspire.
6. LAUREN - Your picture posts are always fun and you've gotten me using toilet paper for things I would never have thought I would before :P
7. MADRETZ - Because you are just plain crafty and cool. And your pictures... wow. I get to visit whole new places through your blog.
8. Sarah - another girl with a fun turn of phrase and not afraid to show frustration. I respect... plus you have almost... almost.. gotten me to want a gingerbread latte
9. RAGGED - you just rock... you are so masterful with your needles and so good and writing in a travel journal style. Much like Madretz you let me visit places I may never get to go, through your blog.
9 1/2. MOMTO4LITTLEPEOPLE - It is so great to be reconnected with you. I enjoy hearing about all your happenings... I think I just may have missed you :D
9. GRACE - Lady, you amaze me. You have such joy even during pain... and that is something, plus your kids are just cute.
10. And of course FARMWIFE I wouldn't be on blogger if it were not for you. Plus your comparisons of your children to various figures in history and literature crack me up.
10 1/2. QUEEN MOTHER - I just really enjoy your posts. You are a lot of fun and the little stories about Farmwife, Princess and Bubba are all fun to read for me.
And you can ask any little kid... halve count. They totally do. What you are seeing are actually 10 entries not 12.
And I would have voted for DID, SILAS and GIRL but they have all but quit posting... no guilt though.. no guilt.
