Winners:
the kids and all of their candy - I'm not even going to mention that we don't have dental insurance. And, Josh has a dentist appointment this afternoon. I do wonder what I was thinking to schedule a dentist visit the day after Halloween.
 |
| can you believe they lay it all out like this? I bet they've counted their candy seven times. |
 |
| what are your favorites? |
 |
| I like: starburst, milky ways, twix, and reese's peanut butter cups |

I'll post pictures of the kids later in the week. I think I'll add them into the Favourite Things Friday post.
Remember those cornish game hens? They were the losers this weekend - or maybe we were,
because we had to eat them.
They were awful. The glaze that I put to give them flavor turned out marginally well, but the meat itself was so dry, we literally choked it down. I also made sweet potatoes that had no moisture. We were on a timeline because Josh had a dance at his school. It's very difficult to try to eat dry food quickly.
We wasted time waiting for Josh's dance to be over. We decided to do a little shopping until I was with the girls in the shoe department and saw a really creepy guy [trying on women's high heeled boots]. I didn't think I had the fortitude to explain, so we just left and wasted time somewhere else.
We had a winning day on Sunday. Rob wanted to skip church and we enjoyed a very quiet and relaxing Sunday morning. It was awesome.

| it was a beautiful day |
 |
| they acted like they won the lottery when they "re-found" their paint set |
I decided to make a frittata, because I was hungry for potatoes and eggs. I'd never made one before, and it was surprisingly easy and versatile - and everyone loved it.
 |
| step #1 - brown potatoes and onions until tender and golden |
 |
| step #2 - add favorite toppings (ours were country ham and cheddar) |
 |
| step #3 - add the ham to "frizzle" it |
 |
| my new favorite toy - a microplane |
 |
| step #4 - add eggs (I added four, and also a little milk) - bake until set |
 |
| step #5 - enjoy! |

How was your weekend?
I love frittata. That looks great. (Ham and cheese is my favourite kind)
ReplyDeleteYour kids made out like bandits with the candy.
Ugh @ the creepy shoe store guy. I would have cracked up laughing, walked over and said "Those shoes dont go with your handbag".
Completely randomly - I really love your carpet.
Crossing cornish game hens off my list of things to cook. I dont even know whether can get those here anyway!
Looks like the weekend on balance was pretty good. Candy, painting, family time.
I almost ruined the frittata with broccoli! I steamed it and everything and at the last minute knew it just needed to be veggie-less.
ReplyDeleteThat candy is from 20 minutes and one trip around our little block!!!
He was totally creepy - I normally wouldn't really care, but you could tell he was more than a little off.
Thanks about the carpet - it's just an area rug and was a whopping $70. I'll probably just replace it when it gets stained.
Ham and cheese frittata is yummy.
ReplyDeleteWow what a great stash and in only 20 mins.
I'm crossing cornish game hens off my list too, and pretty sure they would cost an arm and a leg here if I tried to get them.
Relaxing Sunday mornings are always a winner.
Did your kids, by chance, witness you and your hubby laying the cash payment for your house out on the floor? Hhmmmmmmmmmmmmm? If not, it must be a genetic thing.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast night might be coming soon to our house. I've never attempted a frittata. But I love all the ingredients.
