For the time being I'll stick to what I do best, cooking. Tonight the kids asked for mac-n-cheese, they had a little friend over and I think they thought this was a safe option. However this request came with a stipulation, "not yours mommy, Grandma's". Buffalo even suggested that I call her to get the recipe. OH man. I called, got the recipe and was pleasantly surprised because it was easy peasy! My kind of recipe!!! I thought I had finally done it. The perfect re-creation. "Yours is more cheesy than Grandma's. Hers is better." UGH I give up. I apparently need to go back to Grandma cooking school. So far I have failed miserably at all of her easy peasy recipes. Gingersnap strips, mac-n-cheese, burgundy bubbler (did I mention I couldn't even get that right.. I couldn't find the right jug of wine) I am a complete mess.
I can hear you now trying to convince me that no your not a mess... but seriously, I'm a MESS. Did I mention I went and got fitted for some, well let's say, under-garments. OMG. This might have been the most embarrassing thing I have ever done. For two reasons that I will point out to you. 1. I may have packed on some winter weight (and you have to practically be buck-naked, oh and the stretch marks they were out in all the glory! 2. I didn't shave and well she kept having me raise my arms... UGH. Yep I am a MESS, totally and completely. OH yeah I just remembered the conversation I had with my husband at lunch today. He said I was as squishy as Little One, "oh you know I love squeezing her, she's so cute, its a compliment".... oh yeah right, nice recovery love muffin. I am sure glad the day is over so I can crawl under my flannel sheets and sleep till I forget all about the events of the day. Tomorrow I will wake up in my new snazzy ($62 ouch) undergarments as a new woman! I will finish those crafts I started (or not started that are sitting on the floor next to my sewing machine). Clean up my room, just because. And who knows maybe I will even shave my legs! Whoa don't get carried away Kiki. I probably won't do any of that it sounds exhausting.
I know your thinking come one your day couldn't be all that bad. You're right I did manage to do one thing well today (just ask Nena). I made banana bread courtesy of the way overripe bananas that were sitting on the counter staring at me. I just couldn't bare to throw them away. So I pulled on my big girl panties and decided I could make bread! So I can't seem to do mac-n-cheese I can totally do banana bread. I picked up the church cookbook and found my recipe.
It was delicious! I am excited to eat it again for breakfast. So here it goes:
Banana Bread
1/2 C Oleo (aka margarine thanks mom for explaining that one to me)
1 C sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 C flour
3 bananas
1/2 C nuts (optional I didn't add any so that Buffalo could take it to school.. girl in class w/ peanut allergy ugh)
Cream oleo. Add sugar, mix well. Blend into the sugar mixture 2 eggs, one at a time. Dissolve baking soda into milk; add to sugar mixture. Mix baking powder into flour; add to sugar mixture. Beat bananas. Add to sugar mixture. Add nuts; mix. Put in a greased bread pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
So yummy! Okay... well here's to a good night of sleep. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for me (it is Friday so that is definitely a plus!).
Love you!!! Enjoy your time with mom. Hugs and Kisses to all!!!!!
