Mysterious Monday

What do you get when you have one gigantic bowl of fruit, one woofie, one birthday boy,
two cousins, two cellos, two apple tarts, two dads, two sisters,
three black belts, three moms, four different households, five different jars of jelly, six things to eat (fruit, bacon, tart, muffins, granola and eggs) and seven beans who ate everything?


One cat hiding under the bed, that's what.

Menu Monday

Mom cooked dinner for Mr Karate and his friends Rhette and Sharon last night, and the meal was a big hit.

Everybody ooh'ed and aah'ed and stuffed themselves silly. Did Mom spend all day cooking? Nope.

Did Mom make anything fancy? Nope.

Did Mom spend hours searching for the perfect menu, and then the perfect recipes? Nope.


Mom made:

• Chili, (Diva Kitty's recipe, to which Mom added beef, Bush's Chili Beans, and sweet potatoes)
• Cornbread, (Mom made it with buttermilk instead of regular milk, added 1 cup thawed frozen corn kernels, and 1 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese)
• Broccoli and Celery Slaw. (I bet Roxy would have loved this.)

For dessert she made her special Mocha Chocolate Chip cookies.

Did she take pictures? Nope.

Did I get any?

Nope.
