Meat to the Loaf

Meat.

Kinda grosses me out but I eat it anyway. Most of the time. If I don't think too much about the whole, uh...process.

I was hesitant to try meatloaf as I've only made it once before, but these miniature loaves were delicious. Love the whole portion control thing...

And it was fast, like 10 minutes prep time fast.

(yes, I eat carrots with most meals; it's better than the "pop" biscuits loaded with bad stuff; but you'll see I didn't skip the mashed taters!)

With warm weather around the corner, I'd prefer not to run my oven as frequently. Anyone have some tasty grilling recipes? Time to put Shawn to work!

Take my picture

I see so many things just begging to be photographed. Enjoy these amateur-ish photos from one of our lovely walks this weekend...

Wilder hopes you...

Enjoy your weekend!

Be sure to give someone a big, fat kiss, and laugh a lot!

FOOD.

It's colorful. Its aromas comfort. Its flavors beckon & flirt.

And husbands are happy.

Please don't misconstrue this as some emerging affection for cooking.

I am merely making observations.

Perms stink

Still wondering if there was serious consideration of a) the consequences b) my self esteem/self worth c) fashion d) the very health of my hair prior to my receiving perms.

See for yourself.

Exhibit A (I'm on the right)

Exhibit B

Exhibit C--not a word about the carrot top. not.a.word!

Exhibit D-what is up with the sweat pants?

Exhibit E-"I said the donkey, shaggy and brown, she carried the mother up hill and down" (it was a Christmas song; I had to sing a solo and absolutely did not want to. at. all.
I was partially crying thru it)

Exhibit F-mountain woman, and, oh my gosh.

Ain't Shawn cute in his visor and track socks? OMG! (didn't want to leave him out of this post...)

Oh. dear.
