MONDAY DELIGHT

HAPPY MONDAY FRIENDS..

How the weeks are passing by so fast is beyond me. It was like the weekend was just a quick few minutes of passing time. The weather is pretty already today. Mondays baby works late so I have a few more hours in this day..but doubt i will ever notice the extra time.

It was harder to pull myself out of the bed this morning..I was up later than I should have been last night..I think it was after 3 before I finally laid down. ~ WAY TO LATE ~...But the bed felt great this morning so I stayed in it later than usual.

I plan on washing and changing all the bedding today. Going to hang out the sheets outside. I am not suppose to have a laundry line ( once again..historical neighborhood with lots of rules), but I am going to use my little drying stand and put the sheets out..I guess I am from the country because I still love hanging out things instead of running the dryer. So doing laundry is first on the list for today so I get it all outside to dry.

Yesterday, I cooked a lot and was working on an " On The Menu.." blo

g, but it really was too much.. This is a pretty new blog and I am still learning about the different things that goes along with blogging and posting a cooking blog entry is pretty hard..I was trying to be as detailed as much as I could on the first blog but with the one yesterday I took over 40 pictures trying to explain what I was doing. Well..that's OK for somethings but if I am going to keep blogging about food, I need to make it more simple. I think was I was trying to do was explain steps that really most people should already know..But if anyone has question about and of the cooking blogs feel free to shoot me an email or leave a comment and I will be sure to answer as quickly as I can. Unless its a really special recipe I am going to try to keep it more refined and more simple. It takes a long time to post such a detailed blog. So when ever I post a blog of dinner it is never published until late that same night or the next day. I would like to do something different than that too. I want it to be available to you more quickly. But I don't know how to make that happen unless it is less detailed. I am also going to publish some recipes only without all the steps I took to make it. For some of you more advanced cooks, this should be perfect for you. I am always trying something new and I love to share so hopefully you guys find find them inspiring. I really want to share these with you so it inspires some of you, who are not cooking, to get into the kitchen and start cooking for your family. Meal time has always been about family for me. I was raised where we all sat down to dinner every night together. It created some of my best memories and the food was always brilliant. That is what created the food passion I have always had living inside of me. Its just my personality that I like to share with others. So this blog fits!

I am already missing baby..I didn't see much over the weekend. Its golf, golf and more golf right now. Ugh..I don't mind golf but I don't always want to go, yet he does. Spring is always the hardest to get use to in terms of not seeing a lot of Scott. He grew up playing golf and is on that course every chance he gets..And anyone who does not know.... Golf is super expensive....He is spending a lot of money to top it all off. I never thought I would have to budget for golf but we do..Not to mention, the crazy expensive golf balls and all the extras that get spent just to play the game..But on that same note...baby works hard and I want him to do things that make him happy too. I know he deserves it..♥

I am thinking about making a banana pudding today. I would have to run to the store because I am out of bananas. It just sounds good. And the recipe I would use is only 10 ingredients and 5 steps. Pretty simple so I might just publish it! I know for sure many of you would make it..Its so good and its light..Perfect for spring. Maybe I will do 2..One for home and one to send in to Scott's work. I love cooking for those guys..They all seem to really enjoy the snacks I send in. So maybe that can be on the to do list too for today! Oh...my sister in law just bought her first really nice chef knife that I recommended for her! So I know one person is for sure getting in their kitchen and cooking..Really she is cooking more and more. Last year was her first Thanksgiving dinner and she did really well. I love family cooking..See seems to be having fun with it too. It sucks when you are cooking and it just feels like a huge hard job. Its supposed to be fun and relaxing. And if you pop a bottle of wine open it really helps to make things go more easily! LOL...

On a more serious note.. I never got a chance to say that my heart goes out to all the families of the Miners who passed. My great great gram pa was a miner and I can only imagine how our family would have turned out without him. It breaks my heart that so many men had to leave at the same time in the same situation. Mining is very dangerous. I personally don't know how they do it. I have trouble riding in elevators, let alone, being so far under ground..It was tragic. I don't know if there really is a safe way to work in this type of environment. I mean I know their are safety regulations but really..its pretty dangerous. I know many families are in pain and just so you know, my family lifts you up in our prayers.

Was happy for Phil Nicklson who won the Masters. Hated that Tiger didn't win..But everyone played hard and it was a good match. When Phil won and went and embraced his wife, who has been suffering with breast cancer for the last year was pretty emotional. I had tears running down my face. Baby was making fun of me! It just touched me..I use to think of it as a character flaw that I could really feel the emotions of other people..Now, I feel like its more of an asset to have a soft heart..Its a better view of life.

Well I have sat around and played online long enough..Time to get busy with that bedding.. I also need to run out for few errands later too. And if today is anything like the last few days, time will pass by very fast!

Have a great weekend.
