Under the Weather

Tonight Kelsie isn't feeling too good. Kind of coldish, achey, not really hungry, but kind of... just not for our 8 day casserole from the night before. Soup, toast, grilled cheese... nothing sounded good. Getting tired of playing the food guessing game, Larry mentioned Taco Bell and she half smiled. Taco Bell it was for her, the rest of us are still working on that casserole. I believe she has watched a half dozen episodes of House, puzzling for someone who says she doesn't really like it and btw... she snores when she is sick.

I dropped over to Ash & Paul's and she made the yummiest pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and sent some home with me :) Paul even shared a chocolate covered cherry with me, an unheard of generous gift from one chocolate covered cherry lover to another. Conrad had a ball playing / bathing in her kitchen sink. He loves Thursdays with his Ash.

8 Day Casserole

Last night I made a Chicken Broccoli Casserole and before I knew it, it somehow grew into 2 huge casseroles... sometimes I do get carried away with quantities. But the word LEFTOVERS pops in my head and I can't help myself. I lOVE LEFTOVERS! To me it's a free meal... no energy, no time, not too much extra cost... everything is done and it only needs to be reheated. It's a win win. Food somehow tastes better when it sits together for a while... magic happens. Kelsie came upstairs and looked at the huge bowl and I realized then that Kelsie doesn't like this casserole... in her 17 years how could I not remember this? But the look she gave me told me so. It really is a yummy casserole with breadcrumbs on top. It just looks way bad in this picture. I swear I have made enough to last 8 days, but by then it would have gone way bad... so I called in reinforcements and the kids will be by to help eat it.
