Don't know what to call it as I just
threw it together.
It has a biscuit bottom topped
with a mixture of scrambled eggs,
cream cheese, american cheese, hashbrowns
and maple sausage.
Will have these for breakfast tomorrow
also since there was leftovers.
Last night we kinda looked over the Trans Am
before covering with the car cover.
We assumed it was in the same condition
when we sold the car a couple years back
because that's what the guy told us.
He said he only drove it a couple times
and it had been garage kept.
WRONG! It's gone downhill and needs a lot of
work and love. I have videos to show what kind
of condition the car was in right before we sold
it. It's a good thing I love Trans Ams to
see past all the current flaws and know there
is still hope for it.
We originally bought it in 2003.
Sold it in about 2006-2007.
It still has our original tags on it
and our registration in the glovebox.
For starters, here is the condition of the hood.
The guy drove it without first putting the
hood pins on it and guess what, the hood flew off!
The valve covers now have developed rust on them.
Not sure what this wire mess is about
but don't remember it looking like that before.
Headliner is now sagging.
Not sure if the dome light was there before or not.
Passenger side door panel is off.
Wasn't like this before because we bought
new door panels and I put them on.
Interior pieces are not attached. I know they
were all put on and in place when we got the car
as I put them all on myself.
Scratches galore. Any scratches on the car
when we owned it were touched up with paint.
As much as I hate to say it the whole car
needs sanded down and repainted. It's a lot
of work to do that! We did the red one years
ago ourselves.
Now after seeing the aftermath, check
out right before we sold it with a couple videos
I took years ago.

Decided to head over to Kroger to get some
things to make Manicotti. Don't know if I'll
do the pasta or crepe version or both.
After Kroger we stopped in Speedway.
I was getting the kids slushies when
they yell out Pat just pulled up outside.
The place was crowded but we managed to
kick it up a notch and get the heck
out of there before he came in the store!
AHHHH the week is not getting any better for me.
I'd rather stay home and keep to myself.
Never trust anyone and always go by your
gut instinct with anything!

I forgot to post this last night. Wonder why?
I wasn't in the best mood. This week
seems like a crappy week for me.
But anyway we had BBQ Pork Ribs.
I did these up in the crock pot.

Tonight I made homemade cinnamon rolls.
Made the dough in the bread machine.
I made the frosting from cream cheese,
vanilla, milk, powdered sugar and orange zest.

The other day when Tony was welding the trailer
I kept telling the kids not to look at him while
welding because it was too bright
to look at. They kept trying to sneak a peek.
So I finally told them the skin around their
eyes was turning a purplish pink from looking at it
(it was because they were tired and getting circles). They believed
me and went running for a mirror to look in.
It was funny to see them inspecting their faces
in the truck's mirror.
I'm so bad. This evening I went to take a hot
bath. I had put some clear cucumber peel mask on
my face and was letting it dry when Jonathan came in.
I knew it was almost dry and he wasn't aware that it
was on my face. I pretended to itch the side of my
face to loosen the mask some and let a piece
or two dangle. Jonathan gave me
the strangest look and said mom your skin is peeling
off! So I felt around on my face and started peeling
big pieces off. I said maybe it was because I looked
at daddy welding the other night. I thought Jonathan
was gonna puke because he started heaving
and ran out of the bathroom. LOL!
I never told him what it was. But now I know he
won't be watching anyone welding without a mask
for fear his face skin will start peeling off!! LOL!

I think that I have decided to make stuffed shells
for supper tomorrow. I will stuff them with a
mixture of maple ground sausage, ricotta cheese
and a shredded Italian cheese mixture. Cover
with spaghetti sauce & parmesean cheese and bake.
Then for dessert I will make the crepes I talked
about. I will make them into cups to serve
homemade ice cream in topped with some homemade
chocolate syrup.
Ingredients
* 2 cups milk
* 2 eggs
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* Pinch salt
* 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
* Orange butter, recipe follows
* 1 tablespoon butter to brush the crepe pan
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Add milk and eggs to blender and combine. Add the flour 1/2 a cup at a time, blending after each addition to ensure there are no lumps. Add pinch of salt and melted butter then blend for 30 seconds until you achieve a smooth, silky consistency. Set aside in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to rest.
Dip a piece of kitchen paper in butter and grease a small frying pan. Ladle a spoonful of batter into the pan. With a flick of the wrist swivel the pan in order to get a nice even covering all over. A good crepe should be paper- thin. Cook on a high heat and flip it over when you see the edge turning golden brown. Remove crepes from pan and fold in half and press into a muffin tray to form little cup shapes. Bake in hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes until slightly crispy and brown around the edges, the middle should remain spongy and light.
