Got up this morning with a backache so
wasn't moving too swiftly for the first couple
of hours til my ibuprofen kicked in.
Hope it rains soon. I emptied the water barrels
this morning when watering the garden.
Everything is looking good. Got some tomato
plants that are about 4 foot tall now.
Tony's got the on call pager this week, YUCK!!
Well I think I'm gonna sit down and work
on my coupon binder and check the sales ads
for any good deals this week.
If I find any I'll be sure to post them.

TERIYAKI MICROWAVED POTATOES
I might try this tonight for supper
with the premade pork ribs.
Will slice Idaho potatoes in half,
marinate in teryika sauce then microwave.
Top with some shredded pork &
cheddar cheese.
I sliced potatoes long ways then
put teriyaki sauce on a cookie sheet
and laid the potatoes cut side down on it.
I left it to sit for a couple of hours
giving it enough time to absorb the
flavors.
Ingredients
* 1 1/2 lbs red skinned new potatoes (tiny sized, about 10)
* 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, cut into pieces
* 1 tablespoon bottled teriyaki sauce
* 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt, to taste
* 1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning, crushed
* 1 dash black pepper, to taste
* 1 dash cayenne pepper, to taste (optional)
* 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced (optional)
* sour cream, to garnish (optional)
Directions
1
Wash and scrub potatoes, then cut into quarters and place into a microwave safe 1 1/2 quart casserole.
2
Add all remaining ingredients except rosemary, tossing to combine.
3
Cover and cook on HIGH power for 12-16 minutes (time will vary based on the wattage of your microwave) or until potatoes are tender, stirring a few times during cooking.
4
If your microwave does not have a rotating base, every time you stir, you should also give the casserole a 1/4 turn so it cooks evenly.
5
Stir again before serving and add rosemary and serve with sour cream on the side, if desired.
--------------------------
Will use this sauce below to top the potatoes with.
CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE
Ingredients:
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 3 tablespoons flour
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon ground black or white pepper
* 1 cup milk
* 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar or smoky flavor Cheddar cheese
I also added onion powder and about 1/4 cup
parmesan cheese.
Melt butter; remove from heat. Stir in flour and seasonings. Gradually add milk, stirring until well mixed. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth. Cook for 5 minutes longer; add cheese. Stir until smooth and well blended. Serve with pasta or vegetables.
Makes 2 cups.
----------------------------------------------------
CREAM CHEESE SAUCE
I might make this to use over broccoli,
cauliflower or potatoes.
Ingredients
* 8 ounces cream cheese
* 6 teaspoons butter
* 3/4 cup milk
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic
Directions
1
Melt together cream cheese and butter in a saucepan over low heat until smooth and creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in milk and garlic.
2
Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes.
3
Serve over pasta or chicken.

PORCUPINE MEATBALLS
This is a good way to stretch meat
by adding rice to it!
Serve over white rice.
Don't want meatballs try doing
a meatloaf instead.
Ingredients
* 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
* 1/2 cup water
* 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
* 1 cup uncooked instant rice
* 1 tablespoon minced onion
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 dash ground black pepper
Directions
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the tomato soup and the water. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, instant rice, onion, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup of the soup mixture. Mix thoroughly, and shape into 1 inch balls.
3. Place meatballs in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in the remaining soup mixture and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until meatballs are thoroughly browned and rice is cooked.

Still looking for ways to do my bathroom for cheap.
Here is a cheap idea for walls.
Find sheets of scrapbook paper in a desired
design or color. Use modge podge to put
it on your wall and cover it. Check out this
person who used scrapbook paper as a backsplash
in their kitchen!
DIY Decoupage Backsplash
This backsplash is made of scrapbook paper sheets
and some fine line black tape!

I just got done mowing the grass.
Ya know what??? It's freakin' hot out there!!
I think I sweated off my supper.
I have boob sweat. I always thought
about inventing boob deodorant
just so women wouldn't get those
boob sweat spots on their shirts.
Hell why not? They have everything
else on the store shelves.
If you have bigger boobies try
a line of deodorant under them
to prevent this.
Sitting here now watching Spy Next Door.
Haven't seen it yet and the movies and games
are due back tonight. Like I said before
that will be our first and last rental
from Blockbuster as it's too expensive,
even with a coupon!
