A Parmo Anyone?

 

My Parmo with a side of chips.

 

ha-ha

 

Delicious!!

 

 I am feeling so European.  



 

 

 

P.S. I really did not eat this whole Parmo by myself. I probably could have, though. I split with Elena and Jeff. I also made another one for some of the boys to try. 

 

The impressive parts aside from the yummy-ness were:

 

A. I learned to butterfly cut the chicken breast.

 

B. I deep fried the breaded chicken breast. I had never cooked chicken like that before.  

 

C. I made an awesome (but a tad lumpy) béchamel sauce which is the layer between the chicken and the cheese on top.

 

It is ok to be a little impressed...

 

I was.

 

Warmly,

Me    

  



For you, Missy Weiss

This is for you my dear little sister Missy!



and don't you dare say I run like the dandy!

I am your older sister, don't forget that!

I can still hear the taunts and snicker from those on the bus after I had to run up the street (what seemed like three miles) to catch it with everyone watching me.

Those are what nightmares are created from!

Warmly, A Dragonfrye Mom

P.S Missy wrote a great article on running for those who were wondering how to start a running schedule

Run Rabbit Run

Not Another!

First it was our local Walmart discontinuing their fabric department.

Now the quilt shop in Owatonna is closing!!

Very very sad.

Everything in the store was discounted so I did go in and get a few good deals.

Two quilt books



A few fat quarters. I think this summer I will make a pink and white nine-patch quilt.



I bought a yard of this fun vintage look paper doll fabric.



and this coordinating panel.



Hey I'm clogging my regular blog with my sewing stuff! How did this happen? I will get back on track soon.

Recreated from real life conversation at our home.

Those who know me...

Tell me, I don't really talk like that,do I?

Hmm...no wonder I'm having trouble teaching my Liberian children phonics.

But I recorded myself and think I talk just fine.

A few loving family members think otherwise.

I shouldn't have married a Chicagoan.

Them and their fancy talk...Boats and Bags. What do they know,anyway.

By the way, it is bouts and baygs people! Get it right!

Let's Play Around and Around

Are you ready?

Let's Play!!

Around and around the crown goes.

Where it stops, nobody knows.

Will it be Alan?

Joyce?



How about Nolan?



Surly Lily.

She looks so very cute.

Hopefully not dad.



Why Cyrus is looking too cool in his do-rag.

Can you believe this boy is only 12?

He really needs the crown.




Cyrus is not looking so cool now.

Still does not look 12 though.



Ok. Elena is disqualified for being uncooperative.



The lucky boy is...

JOEL!!!



Thank you to all the Around and Around game players!

To those who were not able to participate for reasons like playing in the basement or having something better to do maybe next time.

That's all for now!!

Catch you on the flip side!

Please remember to do your nightly chores well.

It is the loving thing to do!

Says your mom.

Sometimes It Is Just Easier To Say Yes

and I'm glad I did!

I was a little too lazy tired to help the kids make balloon kites but I got my biscuits off the couch to help anyway.



A little discussion taking place...



a cute tot



On your marks

Get set

Go!!

The race is on



to see who can get their kite in the air



Lids left in the dust but enjoying the race just the same

Hurray For The TWINS !!

A group of the Waseca FCA HeavenWord Handlers,their coaches,and fellow groupies spent this afternoon at the Dome watching the TWINS play the Oakland A's. They had a lot of fun. After the game the group ran the bases.

Thanks for taking the pictures Elena!





Here is a link to a few pictures that were taken of Nolan,Alan,Joyce, and Elena for the TWINS Photo Gallery pictures 106 and 107. I just need to get copies of these. They are SO fun!

Who Did That?

Oh, no!

I'm not sure who did this but someone has been tampering with Jeff's blog

Confounding Factor!

It is one of the dangers of leaving a blog unattended for so long.
