We had BBQ chicken dinners sold by our granddaughters elementary school as a fund raiser. The chix was great but the mac salad was pretty sad and the beans were AWFUL!!! Thankfully I had some coleslaw in the fridge.

lol..that's like me during holidays, get those brown and serve rolls.. I either forget to put them in the oven, or forget to take them out . Then smoke piles out of the kitchen, everyone's gasping for air, there's me, wondering, did I forget the,,.... yup sure did!

Burning the rolls is a tradition in our house. Wouldn't be the holidays without a fire in the hole!

Today, I'm working on a new bread recipe...I've the Evangelist coming for revival next week...(he is a chef!
) and I want to make certain this bread is down pat....
Also going to try a donut recipe....we are "thinking" (the Rev. says 'yes', I say 'maybe') about a Saturday fundraiser...fresh donuts....there is NO PLACE around here that sells fresh donuts!
I haven't made homemade donuts in almost 2 years....it has been busy...but that's terrible!
Anyway, it's a large batch...now don't worry, I'm not going to eat ALL of them...tonights our prayer meeting...I will serve them coffee and donuts!
Anyone have a good donut recipe for "large" numbers...
I know you can double or triple...but sometimes the flavor starts to lose it's 'uhmmm'...when doubled and tripled.
Anyone?

Homemade beef stew and dumplings. Some of the best I have had. My head feels like it has been vacuumed packed these last few days with this cold. No taste and smell from the stew, but the warmth and the texture as I ate it was all I need to feel good from it. Large chunks of potatoes, carrots and beef suspended in a heavy gravy over firm egg dumplings. I'm going to be keeping the boss or at least her recipe.
True, true. We are learning to assess the badguy, sweep left and right to make sure there are no more coming in, reassess the bad guy, if needed a shot to the head, reassess. Interesting class, learning how to have more trigger control and shoot from a holstered position, some are learning from a purse.

We had a quick supper of tacos. My in-laws called and said they were on their way out to visit, so we had to make it quick to eat and fast to clean up! They had a "suprise" for us. The DR has wanted my DH to have a sleep study for almost a year now. Due to medical issues with our son money is very tight. Well they offered to pay for this study! It was a very sweet gesture. Now the hard part will be to convince DH to not be a chicken and just do it!
Just DH and me tonight, and since I felt like cooking, I whipped out a menu I created from my student days.
Butterflied pork chops stuffed with finely diced salt pork, apples, onions and celery, cooked medium-well, and sauced with a beurre blanc made with hard cider. A timbale of thinly sliced, seasoned white potatoes and steamed julienned green beans, yellow wax beans and carrots. Homebaked wheat rolls with whipped honey butter.
A fat-free chocolate cake with strawberry coulis for dessert.
It earned me and A+ in school and an A+ with DH!
