Today, I feel like crying
You’re the only one I can turn to
Everyone has to deal with consequences of their actions
So that’s why I must do.
Help me to overcome this.
Make me start to feel better
Today I’m crying
Only you and I know why
Please help me to clear my head of this
There is nothing I can do.
Please.
Please.
I’m counting on you.

So I went to elizabethtown last week to go in service with my friend/cousin and my mother. We stayed out for a few hours and decided we wanted to check out the peddler’s mall too while we were there, so we piled into the van and headed out (after having eaten some really great chinese food for lunch YUM!). It takes us like 2 hours to walk around the whole place, it was crazy, but we had a great time. Chris enjoyed himself as well, which is always a good thing. Anyways, there was this one booth at the peddler’s mall with TONS of books. like rows and rows and rows of books! So mom and i both find a book by the same author to buy. One 2 dollars or less… AND they were 30% off. I love a good sale btw!
So we get done with there, drop Brooke off at her car, and Head back to louisville. I am reading the whole way home. And when I get home, i continue to read all the way until 3 am. I finished my book. Well, I’m so depressed that the book is over, so I start to read it again… and I read it a second time, all the way thru, without stopping. I had a major headache by this point. But I was still sad that my book was done and I didnt have anything else to read. So I come to the library, searching and searching for another book to read…Nothing jumps out at me… so i wait. Mom has finally finished her book by the same author, so I go to her house, and get the book from her. (omg am I weird or what?) I finished that book in one day as well… I didnt even stop to eat. Just kept reading for hours and hours.
Does anyone else think I have a problem here?!?!?
haha, Well thats what has been going on lately with me. non stop reading. YAY.

Wow, I can’t believe how dumb i feel for never trying to make poached eggs!!

I have never really liked eggs growing up, in fact i have always hated them with a passion, right?
Well, I have been trying to eat more of them lately, and this is what i have found-

I found that I actually like to eat an egg over medium/over hard or someplace in the middle. what i hate about it tho, is how the edges get crispy and hard. i HATE that!!!! yuck!

So I’m looking thru my old better homes and gardens recipe book, and i see the illustrations on how to make poached eggs, and I’m like, wow, i can have an egg the way i like it without the crispy edges if i cook it that way!! Lets try it shall we?!?!

Yeah, so it didn’t turn out the way i was hoping. I didnt think I had a cookie cutter to put in there to keep the whites from flying everywhere in the water making a nasty looking “soup” so i just gave the first one to my hubby and he had no issue eating it. haha
Then I am searching thru my cabinets and I find a cookie cutter that looks like the one in the book (yay)! so i put it in the water and slide the egg in the middle-wait, i’m getting ahead of myself!

Here is how I did it:

Crack egg into a small bowl.
Heat water to boiling, then turn temp to medium low.
place cookie cutter into hot water (i know, sounds crazy)
Slide egg into the middle of cookie cutter.
wait til done.

haha

It really didn’t take that long, and the result was amazing. I feel so retarded for never trying it before. My next venture will be to try making holandaise sauce.

Alrighty, well I’m off!

I hope you try to make these eggs, and enjoy them as much as i did! I can honestly say i love eggs now! I just have to have them cooked the right way! YAY!

What you’ll need:

1 lb tofu crumbles (or ground beef substitute)
1 pkg frozen corn (or 3/4 can corn, drained)
1 small onion, chopped
1 can Mexican style tomatoes (thats the ones with chili’s in it haha)
1 green pepper, chopped
1 pkg corn muffin mix

What to do:

Preheat oven to 400*.
Fry tofu and onions in skillet til onions are tender. Combine tofu/onion mixture, corn, onion, pepper and tomatoes in 9 in square casserole baking dish. Prepare muffin mix as directed on package in separate bowl, then spread batter over mixture in baking dish. Bake 20-25 minutes or until corn bread is golden brown and cooked thoroughly.

** I think it tastes amazing to sprinkle a little shredded cheese on top when batter is done, and leave in for about five minutes. Yum yum!!!

I hope you enjoy this casserole! It is personally one of my favorites!

So… I really need to get on here more. but the thing is I am busy. I am a mom ya know. and I have all my hobbies too. Omg wow I have a few hobbies!! Lets see, Guitar playing, song writing, sewing, crocheting, photography…. Scrapbooking (haven’t done that in a while haha) quilting, ect. I am surprised I have time for anything, and yet my day has plenty of extra time normally. I guess that means I’m not doing something right. I need to be doing more in service to jehovah. I’m a slacker, and I need to step it up a notch.

Oh, and that is not me being hard on myself alright? so dont even say that. It’s being realistic!

I have some new recipes to post on here, i just need to remember to do it. The other night we had a pescotarian version of the texmex casserole and it was amazing!!!! Rae, you will love it.

Anyway, i’m needing to get ready for the meeting. Seems I like to wait to the last minute on everything i do. Hey, whats the broyles motto? “If you want something done, have a party!” haha

Alrighty, ttyl ppl!!!!

Robert realized he had the correct card reader, so we uploaded all the good photos (and some of the not so good ones) from the camera. I have uploaded them to the photo gallery, which you can view here —>

We have had one JAM PACKED week. today is our “lazy day” where we are just chilling at home, and fixing lunch for my grandparents. it will be awesome fun!

So this is day 2 (?) of being in AZ. Yesterday we went to the phx zoo, which was cool, except for the fact that half if not more, of the exhibits were closed for “water pipe construction”… We got to take plenty of pictures tho, which was awesome. I would have them uploaded but…. i dont have the proper equipment with me. We thought we could just use the memory card, but its the wrong kind or something like that, so…yea, and we cant hook it up usb because i didnt bring that with me. oh well!
Today we are going to lunch at Olive Garden, and then to the mall, where i will get a snack at PB Loco!! I been wanting to try them out for a while, so now is my chance! yay! mm, now i’m hungry!
Tomorrow is what? saturday? I believe we have service planned for in the morning, and um… fancy dinner at italian that night? I dunno, haha.

So what i DO know is that I am going to spend sunday night with my grandparents and we will be hanging out monday together… I dunno what we will be doing, but we be doing SOMETHING. I think we decided on doing lunch at manuel’s…. i’ve heard it tastes really good. hehe

K, well I dont have much to report right now other than that.
And , yes i got rid of my internet at home, so this is a special post for you!

Talk to you guys later!
