Menu Plan - Week 51

I'm sitting on the couch using Hubby's little notebook or whatever they are called ...and admiring the Christmas lights that I hung up around the room at the last minute yesterday ...

Yes. It was 4pm and I was hanging lights before the party ... people arrived at 6pm ... we had about 30 total ... lots of food was consummed, a tad too much alcohol too ... but what a great time we all had. Definitly needed to have some good holiday cheer brought to our back yard :)

Unfortunately, it was another LATE night ... last guest rolled out around 2:45am ... and Hubby insisted that we pick up before we go to bed so I wouldn't feel the need to get up at 7am and clean up. As much as I grumbled about it, I'm glad we did as I finally rolled out of bed around 10am and it wasn't so very bad. I was able to relax most of the day and snack ... my favorite!

Ok, on to the Menu Plan ... a few things happening this week ...

Sunday - leftover party food (lasagna, wings, meatballs

Monday - Asian Slaw with Shrimp (recipe coming this week, hopefully)

Tuesday - Princess is getting her 4 wisdom teeth pulled ... I'm feeling huge pains of sympathy for the kid ... so I will be making a soup ... OR stopping at Panera's to get one of her favorites ... but I'd rather make it


Wednesday - Expecting another night of joy with Princess ... she can not afford to lose weight as thin as she is already so more soup in the making (again, would like to make it but will buy if necessary) ... we will have leftover lasagna too (she's not a fan of lasagna so it's ok)

Thursday - have an early evening hair appointment, my last appt was in July so I'm in dire need of a color and cut. Of course, the hair is cooperating lately and now I don't want to cut it ... hoping the Princess is feeling a little better but will be serving mashed potatoes with all the fixins for her, Hubby and I will have salad

Friday - Princess will be on her own for the evening ... I believe the BF will come over and babysit as we have our Christmas Dinner this evening at the Capital Grill...yeah baby...if it is truely the end of the world day at least I will go out with a BANG!

Saturday - Hubby's choice ... will most likely keep it low key ... I think Princess goes back to work today and Sonny Boy comes home (possibly Sunday morning instead, still up in the air)

Notice that I'm not really cooking anything this week? Yes. I'm trying to keep it simple PLUS I need to get a little Christmas shopping in somehow ....

Linking up with Orgnazing Junkie ... go check it out!

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?
