Good morning, beautiful people! I'm sitting here in the dark on my front porch (with my coffee, of course) and can't get over how quiet everything is! In the evening it sounds like a jungle chorus of birds, insects and other critters but everything must still be asleep now! It's lovely but a wee bit creepy if I'm being honest!
Have you ever had one of “those” weeks? I swear I couldn't get anything right! I tried to make a crock pot scalloped potato recipe I found online that turned into a curdled, watery MESS! Just goes to show, you can't always trust online recipes! It didn't look like AI but it clearly was. I peeled FIVE POUNDS of potatoes, grated a pound of cheese, wasted a pint of cream and was spitting nails when I saw the abomination that was in my crock pot!
Then I was going to make y'all an amazing recipe I've been working on with roasted chicken and potatoes that bake in one pan (seriously it's so easy and SO GOOD). Well, the first thing that happened was I LOST a whole pack of chicken. I looked e-ver-y-where then got panicked and thought I'd left them in my car the day before (they weren't there, thank God!). I finally found them in the cooler bag I tote to the grocery store. They'd been in there overnight so I had to throw them out. I went out and bought MORE chicken, got everything prepped then realized I didn't buy more potatoes. Lord, help me.
And then I made my tuna noodle casserole for y'all and the photos were garbage. It got really cloudy outside so I didn't have enough light. Once it sat there awhile waiting for the sun to pop back out, it had dried out and just looked punky.
[long sigh]
But at least my babies came home this weekend! Well, two of them did but I'm hoping Big Girl comes over today so I can have them all here. It's been too long since they've all been here at once and I miss them sooooo much!
I'm making everybody's favorite for Sunday dinner - even though a lot of this doesn't go together! They'll pack up the leftovers to take back to school so I don't mind who eats what at the table - they'll take their “special dishes” with them.
