Terry's 3M's
Meditations, Mutterings, Madness
I am surrounded by kids. Teacher's conferences have given the kids a day off and they are surely taking advantage of it. After the kitchen gets cleaned up this afternoon--they are planning on spending the afternoon in my room watching a double feature: Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves and Space Jam.
If you should ever happen to visit my sister's site, be forewarned: her taste is mostly different. In some cases, (where we've joined the same organizations or web rings or believe in the same causes)there are logos and pictures that are the same. She says that I have helped her with the pages and without me she would be lost. That does NOT mean that I helped her choose anything that appears on her pages. What she is referring to is HTML help. And she's done a lot of copy and pasting from my website to hers--but, mostly just the html for the pictures.
Her husband helps her to correct her phrasing and grammar. She is writing the story of how she and her husband met and is planning on ending that bit with how she and Delton have two wedding anniversaries. I'm not sure, but, I think she may copy and paste that story from a journal entry I made around the 9th of September. If she does--she better give me credit!! :->
Last night, for the first time in ages, every one of the kids loved dinner. (If you're a member of my low fat support group--look away now.) Here's what I did--written as if I were giving some instructions: Rinse a couple of packages of chicken thighs. Melt some margarine or butter. Crush a lot of cornflakes. Dip the thighs into the margarine and then into the cornflake crumbs. Put the thighs into a large roasting pan. Pour any leftover margarine and cornflake crumbs on top. Bake the thighs for about 40 minutes at 380. While the thighs are cooking, make some rice. (I use 2 cups dry rice for 7 people) When the thighs are done, remove them to a platter. Dump the rice into the roasting pan and stir and stir and stir until all the rice is coated and mixed in with the pan drippings and crumbs. That's it. (The vegetable was frozen peas--steamed.)
After dinner, one of my nieces took a fork and patiently scraped all the crispies off of the bottom of the roasting pan. Every kid had seconds and the one who never likes anything told me that she had fourths!
