Well,
Lance says I have to post and being the submissive wife that I am, I shall.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to blog about...really.
I had the day off today. That was exciting. I slept late, finished a book, and
researched cheaper ways to feed my family. Good luck with that, I know. Prices
are going up, and my boys are growing.
On a related note, we will have one less mouth to feed this year. Julia is headed
to JBU this fall. She'll live with my Mom, bless her heart, and attend our alma mater,
hopefully singing in the same choir in which we were lovingly involved. It's a great
school and an amazing opportunity for Julia. She deserves a new, exciting chapter in
her life. I don't know what I'll do without her. At times, she seems like the only
sane one around here!!! Seriously, I'm sure I'll be a basketcase for a while.
We've told her to make sure the first boy she brings home is expendable. (she's sure
Lance will kill him!!!!) I know he wouldn't. I think he can be pretty intimidating
to those who know him not. The rest of us know what a softie he is.
So, I think I'll attempt to make a menu, month by month, and have nights designated
by ethnicity. You know, Mexican, Cajun, Italian, Indian...... I'll let you know how
it goes. I'm sure David would like to make sure squash is not included on any of my
lists. (he's sure he will die upon eating any kind of squash)
Anyway, let me know if anyone has any ideas for fixing gourmet meals on a dime, so to
speak. I'll keep you posted on my little experiment. I'm planning on starting August 1st.
That's Friday...it'll have to be easy and quick. Lance and I play tag team with our jobs
on Fridays. hmmmmm....Pasta? Stir-fry? We'll see.

I thought you said you didn't have anything to say??? That was a great post. It included all the essentials: what's up with the kids & food! :)
Blogger tips: write down funny things the boys do, and blog about it.
Blog about things you like.
Blog about food you cook, and how it came out. We are always looking for Patty's tips on cooking great meals!
Blog about church life, choir life, life about dogs. Give them silly personalities and then talk about how stupid they are. Always good for a laugh.
Take pictures and post them... with or without descriptions... Post some of Julia's and Hannah's videos from YouTube!
Hope this helps.
Hi Patty,
Ratatoulle is pretty easy. You might could even crock pot it. All the cutting of the veggies takes some time. It's the only way I can get Andy to eat the dreaded squash. It helps if he gets to see the movie first... :) I make it with rotini pasta and add a little ground beef. I'm thinking that a little Italian sausage would be pretty good in there, too. I also have an Alfredo recipe that is so simple and quick, but really good. It takes longer to grill the chicken/shrimp than the sauce. But, it is a killer for diets!
Oop. Just looked at the time. I have the bug guys coming out in a minute and I need to get dressed.

Another idea! How's everyone doing without Julia around?
