Don’t Cry Over Chopped Onions

Wow, today has somehow been packed!  We slept in until 9:30 or so, due to a late night last night, and then got out and had husband/wife time.  I’ve missed Adam now that he is in school full-time!  When we were finally ready to take off our pjs we headed out for errands -can recycling, change making, grocery shopping – check.

Of course, Adam was able to convince me to get Wegman’s salad bar!

I got tofu curried salad, with red and green peppers, nuts, and raisins

and a small portion of chicken and broccoli, heavy on the broccoli.

Adam and I split a Black Forest Berry Honest Tea to drink.

We tried to shop quickly, but I got distracted by my hysterical laughter over this –

🙂  I am super excited to be done with volunteering next week so I can buy fun veggies to make for lunches at home.

After we finished the errands Adam played Devil’s advocate again and convinced me to go watch “Inglorious Basterds.”  I was super hungry by the time we got to the theatre and I ate 90% of a thing of pretzel bites.

When we got home Adam took a nap and it got later and later.  Suddenly it was 8:30 and we had tonsof baking to do.  For dinner we made a Rachael Ray recipe, Lazy Chicken.  It got majorly modified, for some good reasons – I wanted to use my farmers’ market tomatoes,

and some bad reasons – this was our potato,

so I decided it ended up being my own recipe.

Here is a link.  I had only a small plate.

It was good, but I was saving my self for –

homemade french onion dip!  The recipe was from Delicious Dips by Diane Morgan so I can’t post it, but I highly recommend buying the book.  We shared a small bowl with toasted (homemade) sourdough bread.

Yums.

We are watching “My So-Called Life” and snuggling and then it’s off to bed.  See you Sunday.

What have you made from scratch recently (ever)?

    • verbalriot – I thought is was only ok. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. For a made-up movie there was too much violence, and parts of the plot were very predictable. The acting was wonderful though.

  1. check out my blog (www.chocolatepickle.wordpress.com) if you have a minute- yesterday I made sour cream streusel coffee cake from scratch and last weekend I made some unpictured banana pancakes from scratch……YUM. ALSO, I am SOOOO with you on the pretzel bites…when we see a movie I go to a particular theater JUST so I can polish off an order of those puppies! they’re the best!
