When the boys were growing up.. I swear that they would be capable to do everything on their own... that they would never grow up depending on a woman to tend to all their needs and they would actually be more helpful then some men I have know in my life... and I have to say I think I was successful in that department... especially the cooking part of it... I do have to blow my own horn once in a while...
This year Matt and Craig have been in contact with me for several recipes... though they could have looked them up on the internet.. but they were looking for the ones that Nanny or Harold made way back when...
This got me thinking about a book that I made some years ago when the money was tight and I still wanted to give everyone something for Christmas so after several months of bugging both sides of the family which was the Hills and Melanson by the way... I was able to give everyone a book of the Family's recipes... of course like most things around here that I do I didn't make one for myself... and when I started to think about it... I had no idea who would have it after all these years... well I looked in mom's draw and it wasn't there... so the only one I could think of was Yvette.. ohhhh I love that woman ... she had it and told me that it was made in 1994... and she is going to be nice enough to let me have it so that I can scan the pages...
Of course that got me thinking... which is sometimes very dangerous with me... in 15 years there has been many changes in the family... a lot more cooks as well so why not add to the book with the younger generation kind of a part two thing... so that is what my plans are for the new year unless I get everything done for Christmas and actually don't have all that much to do... well actually if I just got out of facebook, farmville and town I would have all the time in the world...
Every year I try and find something to do after the holiday season because the winter is so long... so I think this will be it... so anyone wants to add to Part two you know my addy... just send it along and it will be added... it is always nice to have new ideas for a meal...
As for what I did today well... the entrance is finally done... you can actually see some of the dining room table... but it is still not empty as yet... I am still working on a few more projects... but the way I am going I am sure they will be done before the end of the week... I did make about 4 dozen Cherry balls tonight why watching Transformers... the kitchen and dining room are the only two rooms that needs a good cleaning... and the second last thing to be done is the top of the buffet... it still has craft supplies on that as well... I just realized this afternoon that I am missing my Mr. Snowman... and now I am wondering where I am going to put him this year... of course the tree but waiting for Carl to come home... so he can put it on top of the jeep... I just can see myself trying to put it on top of the car... not going to happen... then next week I will take my time getting that all set up and I will have a week before I have all my company... but then I will be sitting and figuring out what I am feeding them besides the 35 pound turkey....
Well I think this time I am going to try and get to bed... have a great Friday...
