WEDNESDAY
I spent most of the day around here trying to make connections to put in our produce order. We finally connected at 7:15 p.m. Ah well....he threw in 3 flats of strawberries...it was worth the wait! I was also able to get things that others had mentioned or requested as liking for Easter...so all in all it was a profitable day. I spent way more time on the computer than I would normally.
I DID take pictures of dinner - but blogger won't allow me to upload photos this afternoon and now....no clue why. Usually when this happens I can sign out and log in again and things are fine. Now I click the little photo button and get nothing. Pasties turned out as wonderful as the boys remembered. This was one of those dishes that grew out of homeschooling. We had been studying the miners when they were young (5th, 3rd, 2nd, K and Pre school). Several books mentioned pasties as being the meal that the miners would take with them. We toured several mines in MT and bought pasties there...and then made our own. All I added to the recipe below was lots of GARLIC (not gravy as I wrote last night). Some in our family like to dip theirs in sauce (BBQ, A-1, Ketchup, Ranch, gravy) and some like them plain. I had so much filling left that I decided to make a soup too. YUMMMM....I used all those nicely diced veggies, added chicken broth, a can of tomato sauce, handfuls of Italian spices, 4 or 5 bay leaves, left over 7 grain pilaf, rice, amaranth, and GARLIC and honey....it was a great compliment for the meal.
Mike is "back in the saddle again" and enjoying being back with a staff he knows. I had fun packing a lunch for him....all healthy and "clean"....he promises to eat it "tomorrow". He forgot today was men's luncheon day. ::snort:: I offered, last night, to let him pack his lunch in my hot pink cooler...but he opted for one of the little red Coleman coolers we had....I did mention I have a cooler fetish?
Stacia did NOT have a nap today and fell asleep at 7:30. I need to make the most of this and not spend all night online......but I had some darling photos of her fashion to share...ah well....

It must be so wonderful to have Mike home! I bet as you are making his lunch everyday you are counting your blessings he is home!
I have trouble posting pictures too . . .when that happens I upload to PHOTOBUCKET.com and then upload to the blog. It's a pain but the only way I can upload pictures most of the time.
Can't wait to see the pictures of your meal and Stacia!!!!
Well...NOW I can't get the photos to read from the card to THIS computer....but I do get the upload screen at blogger. ::snort::
And this is the ONE time I remembered to take photos BEFORE we ate. LOL
if it's not one thing it's another...sigh... still not sure what I'm going to do about blogging...I'm gun shy now with being so close to the % limit on my blog.
How does it feel to be back to "normal" life?
