I' ve Got Some Questions for Ya!

Over the last year, I've had a number of comments about my husband and I raising a large family. Is this something that you would like to hear about? Maybe a week of posts on the subject? Just let me know...cause I want to keep ya'll coming back!

Anything else you want to hear about...and Tater Girl...keep it CLEAN. At my place Crisco is only used for cook'n (in the kitchen ;-)!!!

But seriously folks. Give me some ideas of what you want to be reading here!

XOXOXOX's

I LOVE THIS PLACE

Yesterday the S man slid me into the back seat of the car, and he drove us to Whole Foods - one of my very favorite places. Hubby met us there.
We had lunch, and then started cruising the aisles.
Well, the guys cruised...I hobbled.

THESE ARE "STOCK PHOTO'S" I got them from Google Images, cause I left my camera at home. Several comments have been left, about the pics being professional quality - that's because they are. I'm getting better with my camera, but not quite this good yet!

They have the most wonderful variety of ready made foods to choose from.

Salads, main dishes, veggies, soups and sandwiches.

And the most decadent desserts! I should have included a photo of the cupcakes they make. They make every icing flower you can imaging, and goldfish, and elephants, and teddy bears - true works of art.

Beautiful fresh flowers. A couple of weeks ago they had loads of orchids, and hydrangeas.

Produce, that's so pretty, it's almost a shame to eat it.

Look at all this yummy stuff. Hot food, cold food...

...Cheeses from all over the world. Hubby's favorite is the smoked mozzarella.

Look at this luscious fruit.

The men had pizza today. Hubby had pepperoni and S had spinach, feta and tomato.

I buy the 365 brand of canned dog food. The Lamb and Rice is George and Gracie's first pick.

S picked out a salmon fillet, and found some cedar planks to grill it on.
He marinated it(the salmon - not the planks) in lime juice. Along with the salmon, he made garlic mashed potato's, green bean casserole, and broccoli florets. Yum!

We got a loaf of Country White (the 99 cent loaf of the day), and a loaf of Parmesan.

And here's what I had for lunch...Avocado Gelato. Man oh man, was it ever good. I usually sample two or three different flavors, each time we go, - thinking that I'll have something new - but I end up ordering the same thing. I just love the Avocado!

Do you have a Whole Foods Market, in your home town? If you do, and you haven't been there yet...boy are you in for a treat! Make sure that you take your time and find all the free samples for your tasting pleasure.

Have a great weekend!

She Showed Me Her's So I'll Show You Mine

Okay People- Get your minds out of the gutter. Tatersmama showed us her pantry so I'm show'n ya mine.

This photo is just for Katie Tatie. Look - I have it in BIG cans! Hee-hee;-)

We keep snack stuff in the baskets. We're each supposed to have our own, but nobody pays attention when they put things back. I've been meaning to make individual name tags to hang on them. Maybe that will help.

I'm lucky that my pantry is large enough to hold this bookcase. I keep all my cookbooks in it. Some of them are really old...and look, I just noticed that somebody put a jar of Palmolito Guava Jelly on one of the shelves. Geesh...Iguess the old saying "If you want to have something done right, ya gotta do it yourself" is true!

This big bin (which is on wheels) holds bags of dry dog food. A couple boxes of my favorite cereal are on top of it. The bin sits to the left of the bookcase.

Yep - I've got stuff on the floor too. Look at all that diet Coke. I don't know how my boys drink that stuff. I think it's nasty with a capitol N.
The clear box (without a lid) that's sitting behind the cans of Coke, has plastic cups, Styrofoam plates, and paper napkins in it. I like to keep them on hand for when I have grand kids here.

And here's the messy section, tucked in behind the door.

Good ole TaterGirl also showed us the front of her fridge, a while back. Here's mine.
Right now, there's only three magnets on the front of it.

But I've got a lot of junk on the right side...

...and on the left side!

And here's a close up of my magnets. I've already shared the one on the left. The one on the right was sent to me by a couple of my grandsons...thanks Carson and Andy. The one on the middle keeps me legal. It says "Thou Shalt Not Weigh More Than Thy Refrigerator"!

Okay - now it's your turn. What do your pantry's and refrigerators look like?

PEOPLE - I'm flattered that someone thought that I had won this (see below)- But Geesh, I'm not that good. I didn't win this...

...I'm just letting you all know about it, cause I plan to nominate a few posts
that I've read lately.

If you've read something great somewhere...share it with the world. Everybody needs a pat on the back now and then!

BlogHer Of The Week

Have you all heard about this? I'm gonna be reading posts very carefully from now on! I might just be nominating some of you!!! Go HERE for the details.

Hey everybody - don't forget that Blogger will be "DOWN" at 4:00 PM PDT today!

Out of the Mouthes of Babes

1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!
