Happy Thanksgiving my friends!!

Nothing to write except this - May you all be as blessed this day as I am. That is my sincere prayer for you all - ALL MY LOVE TO YOU!!!!

Good Morning - Chicken sandwichs...

My sister who lives in Michigan - HI JULIE - is going to be making these for supper tonight, so I thought I better get some instructions up here for her.... she's not my 'blood' sister - but she is like Mrs. Mom.. My sistah from anotha motha - did I spell motha right? Is there a right spelling??? don't, know - me neither..

So here we go...
Homeschooling my kids is a great thing and I love it - but there is a draw back - singing all the songs that I did when I was a kid again and loving them. Is that wrong? This was always one of my favorites..

One of these things is not like the other, which one is different do you know, can you tell which thing is not like the other - I'll tell you if it so.... I love Sesame Street...

Your right - its the yellow pepper!! What do you mean the onion....oh - well your right! **turns 5 shades of red***

I slice these little hummers up very thin and they look like this.

Then I mix them up in a bowl just so they go into the pan as friends...

Usually I have a red, yellow and an orange one but the they were all out of orange ones. I do it for the color, there is no flavor difference as far as I can tell. However, I use only sweet onions like Vidallia's- THEY ROCK THE BEER GUT!! I don't have a beer gut,so I guess I am missing out.

The next photo is pornographic, Willow Witch - cover Coffee Mans eyes...thank you..

They are mutilated chicken titties.... sorry..


My turkey was giving me the evil eye the whole time I was cutting them...

Then he did this to me...and said something about Aaron Tippin's song Kiss This???? not sure about that..he was hard to understand ya know, with the gobbling and all.

So, the next step is to throw them all in a skillet and cook'em up. I make them in 'batches' because they don't all fit in there at once...

First get your pan warm, but not to hot because the chicken will stick... you MUST use butter or, well.. they are just not the same without it. I put on my cast iron skillet, I would sell my children before I gave this baby up... ok, not sell them but maybe rent them out, perhaps lease them to some circus - they would fit right in let me tell you... sorry, digression runs deep in my family - what Veggie Tale is that from??? hhhhhmmmmmmmm


SO, here is a picture of my skillet warming and melting the butter - delicious BUTTER... support your dairy farms....

and the butter melted...sorry, I milking this for all it is worth.. **Snort**

Then I add about a Tbls of this life saver...I don't have time to chop garlic for every meal. To many people to feed, to much luandry to do, to much schooling to do and to much of - well, I am lazy...

Then I let that brown a little bit, cuz it smells SOOOOOOOOOOOOO gooooooood.

Then I add the chicken meat and the pepper, onion mixture.

Let it brown a little, till the chicken is done and if it is sliced nice and thin - it doesn't take to long. I like mine to have a little color to it because I am freaky about my chicken being done well enough. BUT NOT DRY!!!

I make this in 'batch's' like I said - put however much will fit into your skillet at a time. I always put in more butter and more garlic at the beginning of each batch. If it will be a little bit before supper time, I throw it all into a warm crock pot. WORKS WONDERFULLY and helps to save on the rush of supper.

This doesn't look so good, cuz it was in the crock pot till late last night and had overcooked.. sorry... Do as I say and not as I do...

Then I grab some great buns. At times I make some rosemary herb, or my own Cheddar bread ones, but these looked to good to pass up.

Then I toast them under the broiler just a couple of minutes, till they are like...toasty... I hate slimy bread, so that helps it be crisp..... do both sides...then fill them and add a bit of ranch dressing, salt and pepper to your taste. LOVE THESE. And let me tell you - men will kiss your toes to have one.

> THE END....


OH - one more thing... this is what you get when a 5 yr old brings you breakfast in bed... well, when he forces you to go back to bed at 8 am so he can bring you breakfast in bed....



As we all are well aware - anything pertaining to Lispy, needs a post of its own...

I am loosing...not weight either.

Hello to the world I have not left behind! We are winding down with harvest, but still have a little bit to do. How is the rest of the world doing? I have been cooking a lot, cleaning...ok not so much cleaning and the house shows it - but I have been trying to motivate myself to do a post. I got nothing people, not sure why. I am not feeling sorry for myself, but I am feeling sorry.. SOOOOOO I am going to post about random stuff..

We had snow on the 9th of October...sad huh.

a>

I got a hair cut... this is before.



This is after... I got my layers back and the natural curl springs up like a pogo stick...
NO there is no picture of the front, a haircut doesnt help your face any.. LOL

This is the Saur Kraut after it is 'crocked'. This is how it looks when I put it in the basement to cure. Yes - thats a rock.


SO - thats it for today. I am going to be starting Christams cooking/baking this week. The Milk Man said I wont get any loving, unless I post daily.... SO, I hope you guys like reading cuz you all know how much I like loving.. *snort* wait, you do know right.. do I have to exlpain it? Why are you all shaking your heads no? I mean who could resist this...


ok, the baby too...

Lispy's finger from the devil....

I had to share this little story today, because its Monday. AND, I want you to all wet your pants while your at work. Sorry, I am a sick person - but that means you must be too, because you come here by choice...I on the other hand am forced to live this life. While AGAIN discussing his vocabulary, Lispy came to me and said "Mamma - my boys have always called me that, its never been mom... its Mamma or Ma. - sorry, digression runs deep in my family...

Lispy - Mamma..

Me - Yes Lispy..

Lispy - look at me mamma..

Me (not looking) what Lispy...

Lispy - Ma, is this finger from the devil...

Me (still not looking) No Lispy, God made all of your fingers, toes and the rest of your body.

Lispy - Ma! This finger here!!

Me (still not turning around) No - all of your body parts were made by God.

Lispy - MAMMA!!! YOOT AT ME...

At this point I turn around in disgust and find my little cherub flipping me the bird and shaking it at me like driver with road rage.

Lispy - SEE MAMMA - THIS FINGER!!! (again waving it in the air) I try to explain that the finger itself is made by Jesus, but that people have made that finger mean something naughty. He then proceeds to tell me it means.... Piss off.. From what I understand he saw it and whoever was doing it said to piss off. We were in a store from what he said, but I remember nothing about it. I carefully explain that he is NOT to use that finger no matter WHAT! Fast forward a couple of days... boys are outside playing and the baby is getting in Lispys' way - I happen to look out the window to see my little 5 year old angel flipping the baby the bird...I jump all over him about it and he looks at me in complete sincerity and says - Jesus made my finger and it doesn't mean anything naughty....

Hello from Busytown!

Sorry guys - I made yet another promise that I have not kept. We are getting snow here off and on making it SO difficult to get our crops in, buildings and animals ready for winter. Not to mention the boys having been sick. They have been diagnosed with asthma.. YIPPEE!!! we now have a nebulizer machine - and a puppy.. I dont know wich one is more work to be honest...

So much is going on - we are still farming but not sure in what direction we are going yet. This is such a long process... I wish it was just over one way or the other. However, in Gods time as He knows best. I had better get busy. I am truely sorry that I have not been a better friend/blogger/person etc. But, I am still appreciative of all of your love, prayers and support. THANKS FRIENDS!!!

Sue from the Farmers Wife - this is for you!!

Good Morning neighbors!

I am having some trouble loading a video for some friends of mine... Amanda and Dean!!!! I tried to send the dog gone thing - no luck - tried to load it here - no luck.. SO - I think I will have to send up smoke signals and pray for rain.... what does that have to do with anything, I have no idea. Willow and Coffeeman - you 2 are some of the best friends a girl could ever have.. *sniff* SO - I am going to try to post a recipe later today. Milk Dud has a bad cold and I may have to take him into the dr, so we shall see...

Until then - here is a couple of pictures of summer... you remember summer right - when the weather is warm and you can actually see green grass? It SNOWED here on the 12 th of October, I immediatly went into hibernation.

Obama and Mother Teresa have NOTHING in common.

What the heck already... If I said I wanted to end world hunger, that I wanted to stop female circumcision in Africa, if I said I wanted to stand around holding hands and singing Koom-by-ya while drinking blue kool aid served by Oprah and the rest of nutty Hollywood - maybe JUST MAYBE I would win an award I don't deserve too!! You have got to be TOTALLY FRICKING KIDDING ME!!! Obama won the noble peace prize.... When they had to debate whether Mother Teresa deserved it or not? Are these people really worth being on the panel? For the sake of decency I hope he defers it to the other guy.. I hope he knows he is SO NOT WORTHY!!! The other fellow had at least spent HIS OWN MONEY working for others in other countries and trying to better the world with his own 2 hands and not his LIPS!!! I hope he is a one term president because 8 years of this is going to RUIN our country. Its on a downward spiral right now that is TERRIFYING. To me, this tarnishes and degrades the prize itself. No its not because he is black, no its not because he is a democrat - its because he has done nothing BUT TALK about what he wants to do..... If he had done anything at all outside of the country other than apologize for us being a sovereign nation, then I would think about the fact that he may have stood a chance in the running... but good grief..he is nothing but lip service and threats.
