Menu Plan Monday (Tuesday?)

Yeah, I know. It's Tuesday. NOT Monday.

I'm well aware of that.

I've been sick. Since last week. A WEEK ago, matter of fact.

Started as a scratchy throat. Then a painful throat. As in, wake up in the middle of the night mewling because it hurt so bad. Not a good thing.

Of course, we were in Orlando, at a hotel, that had magnificent sheets, pillows and a large TV (for Hubby). Me, I just wanted to stay there forever.

But alas, life calls. So we finished getting Sonny Boy settled in. Said our goodbyes. Shed some tears. And drove back home.

Saturday night, dinner was simple: Smashed taters (freezer) and chicken cordon blue (freezer).

Sunday night, Hubby fended for himself as I was sprawled on the coach, a weeping mess. Not sure if it was from the fact that my baby boy was 300 miles away (and what is he eating??) or if it was because I was running a fever and still mewling with the very sore throat. Hubby rustled up some cheese sticks, breaded mushrooms, pigs in a blanket and my turkey meatballs (to go with sauce and noodles, I scolded him the next day for eating them). All from the freezer. Good boy.

Monday night was dinner out. Probably NOT the best thing to do, but Hubby wanted to cut me and Princess some slack since SHE went to the doctor and they put her on antibiotics. It was just a soup and salad place, and I ate more than my fair share of soup, trust me.

Tuesday - fend for yourself, probably sandwiches

Wednesday - (please let me feel better by now!!) Chicken and that philly cooking stuff with noodles and broccoli.

Thursday - Suppose to be a windy-rainy day thanks to Irene passing to the East of us, maybe I'll make some soup ... Princess was wanting some onion soup but I don't think she'll be home.

Friday - I better be feeling better by now! Hubby has a cooking class, so I will probably just have a salad or leftovers ... or a plate of nachos.

Saturday - Hubbys call ...

Yeah, pretty lame week, wouldn't you say? I probably NEED to go to the doctor but I'm holding out. Had to stop taking the anti-inflammatory meds that Rheumatologist gave me so I could take some cold medicine. Definitely noticed when I stopped taking them. Wow. Not so sure if that's good or bad.

Linking up with Menu Plan Monday ... although this is really not worthy of a link ...

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
