Fast Kitchen Tip for the Busy Moms

Ok. I don't know how to embed this, so you will have to click on the link.

It's one of the quickest methods I have ever seen for peeling a potato! I am going to try it myself as soon as I go get me a sack of potatoes!

Of course that means home cooked fries for the kids! We don't get those very often! We typically avoid frying, but ...oh man... I have been wanting some like crazy! Before the cruise, my Aunt & Uncle were in the hotel room right beside us and she made home cooked fries almost every night! She's a fast peeler b/c she has been making home fries for years! Nothing beats her french fries! I know... I know! A potato is a potato but some love goes into these fries! I had a total nostalgic feeling when I popped one in my mouth! Then I felt totally guilty having never made home cooked fries for my kids! I've thrown frozen ones in the fryer but I've NEVER peeled potatoes, sliced 'em, and fried 'em for them! But again... I typically avoid frying all together...which means my kids only get fries occasionally from McDs!

Now... go quick peel them babies (like the video shows) 'n get em fried! Don't forget to pray over them!!! That's the most important part!!!

Have a glorious day and remember God in all that you do!

Blessings,

Louisiana Saturday Night

Well, the night's almost over, but we had us a good 'ol time! We headed out to the back yard, built us a fire, roasted some weenies, and then followed that with some toasted marshamallows and smores! Yum! Check out the pics...

and no the pooches didn't pee on that rock, so don't flip out!!! It's ok, really!!! They aren't allowed in that part of the yard! 'n besides...that rock was so hot it could have fried an egg... don't think any germs could have lived on it! It was the perfect place to start my chocolate a melt'n which made for the gooiest smore I've ever tasted!

toasting my marshmallow!

nice 'n toasty... placed atop my chocolate & graham cracker 

turned on the flash

mashed it down flat

going for the bite

ok... i took a couple of bites before this pick...couldn't resist
cheezing it up

going for the serious look

I <3 these guyz! God has truly blessed us!
'n btw...I never eat more than one smore, but ... um... don't tell anyone... but I had 3!!!! I have no idea what got into me, but smores done on a campfire are way better than the ones you can do in the microwave! oh... heavenly! I best be bike riding a lot next week to make up for tonight!

Blessings,

Manic, Mundane, Meaningful? Oh...Mondays!

Monday is just about over for me. It's approaching midnight here in Louisiana! The night is cool, there is a soft breeze, and I've got the window open to enjoy it! The crickets are chirping their usual song! It's quiet now, but it has been some kinda crazy in this house today! I can't even begin to explain it! I've laughed, I've cried, and unfortunately I even screamed a couple of times... pushpin right in the hand kinda does that to a person... amongst other things! lol! Mondays are never mundane at our house!

family Bible reading followed by the words my husband spoke as he closed with prayer...

discovering the mess my daughters ferret made under her bed (I am so ready to put that fuzzy up for adoption)...

making salisbury steak while guiding my 6yo step by step, and then watching him form those oval shaped patties in his most particular way...

how pitiful our poor bird must have felt when he saw someone dropped off yet another stray cat, and the kids brought it to meet him...

my phone dinging ever so often with text messages from my hubby, trying to encourage me throughout the day... 

made it through the day and climbing into bed... oh how Marvelous!

And here's praying tomorrow I have something good to say besides... Torturous Tuesday! rofl! :) 

God Bless 'n Good Night,
