Happy Saturday

October 2, 2005 · Narrative

Well, Nicholas has been having a great time, hanging out with the gang at Sesame Place today. I heard from him at lunchtime and then not again until 8:30 pm. In fact, I called him to make sure he didn’t forget about me! :) As if! They have Character Dinners, like Disney does, so he had a grand ‘ol time having dinner with Big Bird, Elmo, Bert & Ernie and the rest of the gang. The Husband said when Oscar the Grouch hugged Nicholas, he was so big, Nicholas practically disappeared in his arms.

No real cooking today. I took Eli to McDonalds for breakfast and then went into the office for a few hours. Wasn’t hungry for lunch or dinner, and I hate eating just because it’s “meal time,” you know?

I had a request for Beer Bread, so tried out a new recipe for it tonight. It was good, but I’m going to try another one tomorrow to see if I can do better.

Now that September is finished, it’s time for the Recipe Round-Up. I made a total of 26 new recipes … a little less than the month before, but The Husband cooked more than usual. Most of the recipes in September’s Round-Up can be found on my site, but if you’re looking for one and can’t find it, just let me know.

Planning on doing some cooking tomorrow, with Cheeseburger Soup and Paninis for dinner, and Pumpkin Praline Cake for dessert. A few more recipes planned, but we’ll see how it goes.

Tune in tomorrow to see what’s cooking … until then, send in your pup pics and check back in tomorrow night for the Round-Up.

September New Recipes
Roast Tomato and Prosciutto Salad
General Tso’s Chicken
Mrs. Potato Head Potatoes
Nutella Cupcakes
Smothered Filet Mignon
Pear Roquefort Salad
Banana Pound Cake
The Best Ever Oatmeal Cake
Brown Sugar Baked Chicken

Loaded Banana Cookies
