It's Been One Of those Monday's...

As I sat at the table this morning going over receipts and checking them into the books, I noticed we had 3 charges for the same item on one of our charges. So, I called the store to question the error, the person on the other end of the phone asked me if there were some initials in front of one of the charges, "yes, yes, there is, I replied"  That means they deducted the overcharged item, so very pleased, I thanked her, however, before I hung up, I hear the lady say; "Why would they call me for that?" click...

Well excuse me!

At lunchtime, I had just warmed up a left over chicken chimmichanga when I heard the trash truck roar down the road. Since they had to turn around at the end of the road, I hustled out the door dragging the trash can as I raced to the bottom of the driveway, walk in the backdoor to see our 14 year old cat eating my lunch and the trash truck roaring past without stopping.

I gave up a good lunch for the trash man!

Spicy Mexican Cabbage Grub... Recipe

It appears as though, there are alot of recipes being past around, not wanting this one to slip by, I thought I'd share with you.

                                                Spicy Mexican Cabbage Grub


1 small head of cabbage  (sliced in slivers)                                         
1/3 lbs. pork chorizo (spicy mexican sausage)
1/2 medium onion (diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 TBLS. cilantro
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
3-4 Cups Chicken Broth
1  15 oz. can kidney beans (liquid included)

In a large saucepan, on medium to low heat place olive oil to fry the pork chorizo; this will take maybe 10 minutes. Next, add onion, garlic, cilantro, ground cumin, and cabbage to the mix, fry 5 minutes longer. Now, it's time to add the kidney beans and chicken broth; bring to a boil; cook for 30 minutes or until done.

This recipe was thought up by me, as I was trying to figure out a soup recipe that used cabbage. The pork chorizo is an excellent ingredient in this recipe, it is spicy so if your not someone that enjoys spicy foods you could use any other kind of sausage as a substitute.  Pork chorizo, can be found at Wal-Mart comes in a little 10 oz. tube.  I hope, you enjoy this as much as we did! 

This will go very well with Paula's Corn Bread recipe that can be found at http://frakerfarm.blogspot.com/

Deliciouso!

Update on Kitchen remodel

Six men and a few hours later...

This is the new faucet

The Island

I went to Home Depot last night and picked up the tile and all the supplies to install it. Hopefully, we'll get to it this weekend.

I'm so happy with my new kitchen, it is so much lighter and brighter than the old black counters. The faucet will take some getting used to, it works so much different from the ordinary faucets.

I'm sure you'll all see the kitchen in future photo's by then the tile will be up.

Have a wonderful night

Going Gung ~Ho With Dehydrator Ideas

Did you all know; we can dehydrate eggs to reuse  for breakfast or even baking. Yes sir ree!

I did a search on it this morning and found a blog very helpful in this matter. Check it out   http://moosaidthemama.blogspot.com/ 

I seem to have extra eggs for a change and rather than having them go to waste, I'm going to dehydrate them and place them in the cupboard with my other goods.

My only question on this article is what is the shelf life once dehydrated; anyone know?
