I had plans for a different post tonight … a recipe post. Unfortunately I’m still working on it. I even got up at 5 a.m. today to get all my stuff done and, well it’s after 10 p.m. Just out of gas.
Recently I installed PhotoShop, so I’m learning to use it. One of the exercises is to go through all your photos and organize, categorize and tag everything. So here are a few of the ones I looked through yesterday. Some you’ve seen, some maybe not.
This was our dinner tonight …
Buffalo Chicken dip with homemade croutons and celery.
It was delicious.
Any of you Jon Stewart fans will know that Stephen Colbert comes on right after the Daily Show.
Colbert is rather sardonic but also can explain lots of complicated political scenarios with humor. Lately he’s been on the super PAC loophole, which allows campaign contributions to political candidates with total anonymity and no limits. Great campaign finance reforms 
A few nights ago I was watching The Colbert Report. He announced his new revenue generator to fund his super PAC.
Colbert has his very own Ben & Jerry’s flavor: Americone Dream.
Thursday night we ran out of milk and laundry detergent. So I went to my local Wally world — our Walmart is pretty hit or miss but I happened to be in the ice cream aisle (shocker).
And there it was … Americone Dream. it is delicious!!!
And Stephen Colbert is very funny. But the calorie content is not! (but it was worth every bite!
I’m taking a break tonight. I made a tasty meal but burned my finger in the process. So I’m giving it a rest.
I’ll be back tomorrow with the recipe.
Jdubs really wanted to make something with the “secret ingredient.” He told me he had instructions for a recipe with a secret ingredient. [he’s been watching Iron Chef with us.]
I asked him what the recipe was. He rattled off a list of ingredients that included cinnamon toast, pickles and bananas. He also informed me that it had to be in the “blender all chopped up.” He also told me that he needed a cocktail that was mixed up.
We got out the blender and started adding things to the carafe. I carefully guided him in picking out things that would make a good smoothie “cocktail.”
He insisted that pickles were the secret ingredient and that it had to be in the cocktail. At the last minute I talked him into adding the other secret ingredient—cuties. Jdubs made sure that he wore his apron – it’s actually an apron that belonged to my grandmother.
Hopefully he will continue to be interested in cooking!
