Football's Big Day

By Pamela




I kept scratching my head on Saturday. Why were there NFL football games on television this past Saturday. Then my husband explained (in his how could you not know this voice), "it's the playoffs!"

The playoffs!! That means Super Bowl is right around the corner. The Boy has called dibs on Super Bowl Sunday as his official birthday party. I have been making plans for his birthday party completely ignorant to how fast it is creeping up.

So, I am wanting to hear from you. What do  you serve on Super Bowl Sunday?

I have been surfing Pinterst and came up with these ideas. What do you think?

I plan to make these to put outside to welcome our guest to the party. Just waiting to see who makes it the big game.

The Husband might think I am crazy but I do kinda want to grow grass as centerpieces.

I like this subway art. I think I might use this.

And how about food?

Bacon wrapped chicken breast

Pepperoni Pizza Dip- looks cheesy and yummy! Or maybe a buffalo chicken dip. Or spinach artichoke dip?

I wonder if I can execute making these. The Boy loves chocolate covered strawberries!

I think my diet is in serious jeopardy!

Thank you Pinterest! You sure have made planning my annual Super Bowl/Birthday Bash so much easier!

    I have a great Chicken Wraps recipe, too - so good in SUCH a bad way (dietwise). How about Alabama Firecrackers - those guys would destroy them! Check Allrecipes, stupid easy & everyone I know who's tried 'em says they're like crack, only made from saltine CRACKers. (Seems like this year's trendy snack.) Will go crack open my disintegrating favorite cookbook. -deb t.

    It's only 10 days into the new year ... Bacon may be "smart" but I think what'd be smarter are more heart healthy alternatives :) Jackie

    I will have to agree with Jackie, those strawberries too yumm-o but you are smarter. There are a couple of recipes on pinterest that might be good for you and with, Baked zucchini sticks with a fun sauce, black bean salad with avacado, corn, and good stuff. You can even do a fun lettuce wrap and use your "turkey bacon"!! Enjoy!

    Melissa and Jackie,
    I assure you that the Super Bowl party is not for me. It is for The Boy and 20 or so of his closest friends. The food that night, will not be eaten by either Wayne or I. It will be devoured by all those growing boys.

    As far as Wayne and I go, yes I promise we will find some healthier alternatives. (and maybe only 1 cupcake!)

My Weekend Project: A PVC Camping Lamp Post and Flag Holder

By Pamela
I have seen a few of these around campsites and I knew I would like to have one. The only problem that I had is The Husband. He already thinks we drag too much stuff with us when we go camping and if I had told him my desire to have a PVC Camping Light Pole he would have shut it down quickly! So, that leaves a girl with only one choice: Figure out how to do it by herself. I did some internet searching and found a few road maps on RV forums. They seemed easy enough! I visited the local hardware store for the supplies: An exterior post lantern light 2 inch PVC pipe (I used 5 feet but had to purchase a 10 foot piece) A 3 inch toilet flange A 3 inch to 2 inch Reducer PVC Glue A 12 foot electric cord kit 2 - 3/4 inch PVC Caps I also used a few supplies we already had on hand: White Spray Paint 3 1/2 foot - 3/4 inch PVC Pipe Drill Bits (1 inch and 1/2 inch) Tent Stakes The first step was preparing the lantern light. I could only find black i...

Liver Cheese: A Family Tradition

By Pamela
Today is an anniversary date. One of those dates you wish you did not have to remember but there is no way you can forget.  Fifteen years ago today,two days after his birthday, my father died of lung cancer. He was a lifelong smoker and his cancer was aggressive. His battle was short. He fought for six short months after his diagnosis. He knew the chemo was not working and that his time was limited. When he came to this realization he became the best dad in the world.                                                In the days before my father's passing, my family shared some memorable moments. One of those moments centers around the deli meat: Liver Cheese.I would not be surprised if you have never heard of it, or even never tasted it. But I was raised on it as it was one of my Dad's favorite things.  What is it? Well, it is a German food that is...

Tonsillectomy (Warning Photos!)

By Pamela
The Short Chic came down with a pretty nasty case of strep throat back in April. So, when The Boy started complaining about his throat hurting about 12 days later, I was pretty confident that he had inherited his sister's strep. Instead, The Boy was diagnosed with a peritonsillar abscess growing on his right tonsil.  We had to immediately see an ENT  Physician who took a needle and drained the abscess. He removed about 5.5 cc of puss from The Boys throat.and then told us that once you have a peritonsillar abscess you were high risk to keep getting them. The Boy's tonsils were now compromised and needed to be removed.  We were told to plan for a two week recovery so we worked a surgery into our summer plans. Between family vacations, summer sports, and the beginning of school The Boy had his second surgery. A tonsillectomy.  Pre-surgery prepping went well. It must be nice to be young and have healthy veins for an IV! The Boy had lots of pre-surgery vi...
