Menu Plan - Week 18

Did you all notice something missing earlier this week?

Ummm... the weekly Menu Plan? That sort of went on the wayside ... between the Air Show Party, the rain, the hangover, the attitudes, dealing with my dad, ummm... and the LEFTOVERS ... I just didn't plan a menu for the week.

Trust me, even with ALL the leftovers, I'm still standing in the kitchen at 7pm looking in the fridge asking myself  "Whats For Dinner?" ... good grief!

Menu Planning really is the way to go, trust me!

So, here's what we've been eating and what I anticipate the remainder of the week to bring:

Sunday - fend for yourself on the leftovers ... I was slightly hungover and believe I ate some chips and a chicken salad sandwich on a potato roll.

Monday - Pasta salad and cabbage salad

Tuesday - chips ... then nachos (with salsa, cheese and sour cream) ... I was in quite a foul mood and wanted Hubby to cook up the remaining burgers but he didn't

Wednesday - burgers ... adding bacon and bleu cheese to mine as I deserve it!

Thursday - ummm...ladies night, Blackberry Margaritas ... I've made it quite clear to my girlfriends that I am B R O K E but they still want to take me out for my birthday ... suppose to be ladies drink free at this new place called Dapur

Friday - tacos ... traditional for Sonny Boy and salad style for me and Hubby (I'm thinking Hubby will take me out Saturday for my birthday and Cinco de Mayo!)


Saturday - it's my Birthday and I'm certainly NOT going to be cooking this day! In years past, I would but not this year ... I need a real vacation!

Not even linking up this week ... :) What are YOU making for dinner?

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

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!

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?
