As promised, I have this weekend's puzzle for you, and because I'm writing this post so late you're also going to find out what it was I chose to make for dinner. SO EXCITING.
I do realize how ... banal and ridiculous it is to think that any of you have an interest in what I have for dinner. But since we were just discussing it yesterday I figured you might be curious.
This same way I was curious to know what people are generally curious about - so I Googled it and found out that snails can take naps that last 3 years. It was listed under fun facts you could use to break the ice at a dinner party.
When last we met I was deciding between chili with all the fixin's or spaghetti & meatballs.
I got a macaroni and cheese craving. I made Martha Stewart's Macaroni & Cheese. And then I burned it under the broiler but it was still delicious.
Which means I handed Betty over a serving of chili, froze 2 portions and will also have macaroni & cheese leftovers for tomorrow night.
Plus it looks like we'll only get a couple of inches, not 6 or 8. I can't imagine this could have gone any better.
Have a good remainder of your weekend!
THE 25 PIECE PUZZLE
The easy one. Because a little fun is less filling than a lot of fun.
THE 100 PIECE PUZZLE
The hard one. Because why would I move? On a Sunday?? 🙄
Can't finish the puzzle, there's a piece missing! Lol.
That was a good little distraction. I'm having a bad day and I finished the puzzle in less than 3 minutes! Winner winner chicken dinner! ;) I printed your spaghetti sauce recipe - it's gonna get made this week sometime. We'll see if it's better than Bev's (sans the hamburger...)! https://www.food.com/recipe/bevs-spaghetti-sauce-26217
I love choices, especially when I can choose the 25 piece puzzle and feel so incredibly accomplished that I may go out and conquer the world! That 100 piece puzzle would've kept me here all day (not a bad thing) but at 2:25 record time, I feel like a bona fide CHAMP. Thank you, Karen! Then, not only did a photo of your Dog Balls pop up, one of the ads appeared with a set of hanging balls.... for my BICYCLE. It's gonna be a great day :)
That poor, sad, little piece of lettuce...
Yeah. She almost liquified as soon as she touched the hot chicken burger. ~ karen!
Talk about a blue plate special - the most beautiful blue plate I've ever seen! Well worth a very complicated puzzle.
"Blue plate special", lol. That's great! ~ karen
Tasty looking! You are spoiling me at this point. This is the second Sunday in a row that I've been able to sit with my coffee and complete a puzzle before starting my day. Glad you have bonus food stuff now that the expected snow didn't happen. Keep warm! Oh - and I want to add another like to the new format. Kudos.
Thanks Deb! I'll keep trying things out until I fall on a format or combination of formats I like. :) ~ karen!
Oh good my name didn’t appear in email. It was kinda stalkerish. Loved your recipes yesterday. Couldn’t find how to comment then, sorry! Love your emails. And Phillip. Had 2 silver moyenne poodles, still in my heart daily. So all the ‘Lip photos you have, please share!
Well... 2:04 and 18:49 respectively......... and now I'm hungry. lol Snow-wise my end of town got maybe an inch, but the Northern parts of the Chicago Metro got some appreciable snowfall.
I think it's turned into something more annoying - cold rain. ~ karen!
