Today we have lots of random stuff to talk about…

We’ll start off with my Bible study. I just began going to a Bible study on the book of Esther. I am sure you are thinking the same thing I was; Esther… hmm not one you hear much about. It’s a Beth Moore study, part discussion and part video lecture. I went for the first time on Tuesday. Day one was like an intro as what is to come during the 9 week study. The title of the study is called “It’s Tough Being a Woman.” Beth Moore had participated in an online study about the top 3 most challenging things about being a woman. She read some of the answers the 400 women gave. These were some of the top answers, yielding (submitting to your husbands), balance, and hormones. Hot dog, I can relate to all three of those! She went on to say that women and their hormones can cause a lot of family problems. Such as… you will argue and fight with the ones you love the most, but cry during a commercial. I found that to be true as well. I don’t cry during many commercials. And this was the one she ended with that was knee slapping funny… It’s hard being a woman because: I have to wear panties and try to hide the fact that I do!! I just started thinking about all the things companies make to hide those lines in your pants... hence SPANX.

Okay moving right along because I am sure any guys reading this wishes they would have skipped paragraph 1 and I might be getting a call from my husband wondering what I was thinking and why in Sam Hill did I write that.

Lets do a recipe. I recently cooked dinner for a new mother and took her this particular dish. I am a picky eater and enjoy cooking things that aren’t hard and don’t take forever.

CHICKEN AND SUN DRIED TOMOATOE FETTUCCINI

4 chicken breasts
½ cup chopped onion
2 tbs olive oil (I add more)
¼ tsp pepper
1 7 oz. jar sun-dried tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp crushed red pepper
2 tsp basil
8 oz. fettuccini
Optional capers and black olives .(I do not put them in mine)

Cut chicken into strips/pieces (set aside). Drain tomatoes chop and set aside. In a 12 inch skillet (with a top) heat 1 tablespoon oil from tomatoes over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook until tender. Add chicken and cook 8 min. Stir. Add basil and tomatoes… cook 1 minute. Stir in olive oil, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, and rest of oil from tomatoes.
Heat thoroughly. Top with parmesan cheese

Okay wasn’t that fun! I want to know if you try my recipe. I have 2 more recipes I plan to share in later posts.

Lets throw in a little Ford... You can't have a post without him!!


So I went to Wal-Mart this week. That’s what I do… I go to Wal-Mart. There’s not a lot happening in Mayberry so I get fired up about a weekly grocery run. Well, when I was walking out of the store the other day I noticed this man looking oddly at a car as he was driving away. I checked out the situation and apparently it is acceptable to park your car in the middle of the AISLE. I mean come on people. I know you can see the lines in the parking lot and are aware that you may not park where people should be driving. Being the prepared person that I am, I grabbed my camera and took a picture of the goose who thought they could park wherever they wanted to???????!!!!!!!!


We have a big weekend… Trey is in his 347593475 wedding and it’s the big Magnolia Heights class is 1999 high school reunion. Don’t you worry one bit, I plan to document the 2 occasions and share a post with you all. Until then happy cooking and feel free to park your car wherever you want… it’s the thing to do!!!!
