hello….it has been one of those whirl wind days.  Plus I have not been feeling very well all day ;-(   We didn’t even go to our church class tonight. 

I did work on my Turkey plan today for my cooking session, which I might try to do this weekend.  We will see since we are suppose to have the IL’s over for supper on Saturday!   Might be too much cooking for one weekend.

As for my Turkey Plan I am going to made turkey broth from the two carcasses.  Then with the cut up meat I will be making, turkey noodle soup, turkey wild rice soup, turkey pot pie filling, turkey divan, turkey and noodles and turkey ala king.  I hope have enough meat to do that.   I might have to scale back the number of servings I make of a few things.  Now to make my grocery list and get the stuff on Friday. 

Let’s see what else I am doing……….oh yeah…I set the date for my garage sale, May 17th and 18th.   We decided actually more Paul, that it would be a great idea if we could do a neighborhood sale.  So we made flyers tonight and passed them out in the neighborhood.  So far we have received one call of a family wanting to participate and I know two others have already talked to me about it.  Plus my SIL is putting things into our sale and will help with the sale as well.   I hope my Mom will be able to come for the sale to help.  My dad always seems to need an excuse to allow her to come stay.  It would be nice if she could just come to spend time with her grandsons.   So now needless to say, the sale has become a huge thing!  LOL!!  Things always seem to go that way for me.  

Oh yeah…and the couple that was planning and organizing the annual block party, decided not to do it this year.  So Paul and I are planning it with another couple.  Should be fun………LOL!!  Yep, one more activity.  I seem to be getting a busy little life again.  Oh well……..well I should be off to bed.  

I hope to feel better tomorrow so I can go to work.  I will have to take a sick day for today as I won’t be able to make the hours up this weekend.  Usually that is what I do, but won’t be able to this weekend as we are so busy. 

Night!!!!!!!!

Looking for Help………..

Does anyone have an idea how many cups of cooked turkey I would get from a 12 pound turkey about??  I am trying to do a turkey plan for the two turkey’s I have, but not sure how many cups I will get so it is hard to select recipes, etc……..

HELP!!!!!!!!

hello……….it is warm here again today.  Which is very nice, but of course it seems wrong to start up the AC so nights sleeping are a bit warm for me.  I didn’t fall asleep last night until 5:00am and the baby got up at 7:30 am since he had messed his pants.  ARGH!!

Amazingly I seemed to accomplish a lot today at work.  Just did paperwork sort of things.  When I got home ,Paul had supper in the oven and then he left for school.  Tommy was cranky!!  I couldn’t get much done with him.  He did take a little nap finally, but I decided I needed one too!  After I woke up I surfed a few OAMC (Once A Month Cooking) websites for a couple of new turkey recipes. 

Once Tommy was up, I had in the highchair in the kitchen with me while I made some avocados for him.  He was a bit cranky especially towards the end.  But luckily that is when Paul came home!   Tommy was all Daddy’s the rest of the night after I gave him his bath 

I must confess one thing!!  Don’t tell………I watch very little TV anymore, but Josh got me hooked on the worst show….but it is sooo funny!!   I hate to admit it, but I love to watch the Osbournes on MTV.  Yep, a day in the life of Ozzy Osbourne and family.  It cracks me up!!!!!!!! 

After the Osbournes and luckily it is only 30 minutes of brain rot…LOL!!  I had one hour until bed time.    I managed to wash the dishes (hubby was home all day again today and can’t figure out what he did all day, not dishes!)  and sweep all the floors and scrub the kitchen floor.  WHEW….not just a quick chat at you, then I am off to bed!!

Tomorrow is my day to work from home, so I best get some sleep so I can get busy in the AM.   I would like to get 4 plans written tomorrow….we will see

Minnesota weather….how weird it is!!   Just two weeks ago on April First we were having a blizzard.  We received 9 inches of rain and there were car accidents everywhere.   Today, just a mere 14 days later……….temperatures in the high 80’s.  Everyone breaking out there shorts and enjoying the sun.  LOL!!   You got to love it…you never know when you wake up in the morning if you should get out the long johns or bikini………

Fine day today…Tommy is doing well.  Heard from the Dr and the radiologist doesn’t believe Josh’s collarbone is broke, only severely bruised.   So he no longer needs to wear the figure 8. 

I need to head to bed.  I want to look through a few cookbooks to gather the recipes for my two major cooking sessions coming up.  I have to wait till it cools down again to cook that much.  This coming weekend it is suppose to be in the 50’s again…good cooking weather.  I need to stock up the freezer with some meals with summer coming, nice to just put something in the microwave instead of heating up the house trying to cook something.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Monday…and got your taxes all mailed off.   I did manage to pay my bills tonight, but have already mailed my taxes, even before the deadline…..WOO HOO!!!  Flylady was badgering me about it………………

Tooth number two has broken the surface…………YEAH, Tommy!!

Tooth number two has broken the surface…………YEAH, Tommy!!

I need the help of some of you fabulous cooks out there.   I have two turkey’s and two hams in my freezer that I need to do a cooking session with.  I need ideas of meals to prepare with each that freeze well.

I usually make Split Pea and Ham soup, Scalloped Potatoes and Ham….would love another ham soup recipe and something else.

For the Turkey, make Turkey soup, turkey pot pie, and Turkey Divan.   I want to try another reicpe with Turkey too…..

My freezer is getting pretty empty except for babyfood, so it is time to get some meals made for the family since Ham and Turkey were on sale at Easter time!

All idea greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!
