I've got a golden ticket.....!

In lieu of the fancy Easter baskets for friends and family. I've decided to give something special! Willy Wonka Chocolate Bars complete with the chance to win a golden ticket ! The prize is a trip around the world with with 3 friends/family and $12,500 spending money. How great it is to actually live in a world where a Wonka Bar is actually sold! The original score soars through my brain every time I think of the chocolate bar. "I've got a golden twinkle in my eye."

stacked beef enchiladas, rainy day soup weather, netflix

*I made stacked beef enchiladas for lunch and they were super yummy. I took some to Cody for lunch! It's my mom's recipe for them...
1 lb of ground beef
2 cups of cheese (cheddar)
Enchilada packet of seasoning *(prepare with tomato sauce or paste per instructions on back)
*I use 1 lg can of tomato sauce with the packet.
1 small onion
1 can olives
1 packet of taco sized flour or corn tortillas (your preference)

Cook ground beef.
Prepare enchilada sauce.
Place a tortilla  in the sauce to cover completely and lift out ( I usually plate it to make enchiladas easier!)
Put 1-2 tablespoons of ground beef on the sauced tortilla and a sprinkle of onions and olives, fold in half (or thirds with filling inside)and place in a casserole dish.
Repeat and lay next enchilada against first and press against dish. Once enchiladas are all in dish they should be as snug as possible without overlapping. Cover with the rest of enchilada sauce and onions and olives. Top with cheese and put in oven at 350° for about 20 mins or until cheese is bubbly and melted!
Yummy!
* Tutored Cody Lynn and Shell sent me home with some minestrone soup and bread from Ohio! I'm going to heat it for dinner...Yes it's 9:12 pm and I haven't had dinner yet!
* We are going to watch the two movies we rented and having Cody turn netflix off is going to be tough. He's really enjoying the comedy section. It's also going to be a struggle to have him work on "Blink". Ahhhh! Finish your book already. I'm ready for Blink to be out of the zombie pen and on with his journey!
 

cold misty day, chores, princess and the frog!

*It's cold and kinda yucky outside.I had a short work day which was pretty cool. The last hour seems to take forever! Cody forgot his phone at home :(  and I'm contemplating dinner. I'm thinking it's soup weather and can't decide between navy bean and split pea, probably navy bean. I might be able to persuade Cody to eat it if I load it with hamburger meat but good luck with him eating split pea!
* I have tomorrow off but will spend it tutoring algebra to codi lynn. She's having an awful time with her college class. If I can help keep her on task and ahead of the homework we might have a fighting chance of her completing with a high C or low B. Since I will be in Hazelwood most of tomorrow, I need to catch up on chores here this evening. Then watch 2012 and the princess and the frog :)).

* Chores consist of dishes, laundry and maybe if I'm super ambitious, attaching the closet to the wall! Closet will be attached on the left perpendicular wall to the window. Keep your fingers crossed!

Interweb, Stitch Markers, Nesting

*Internet is up and running now! I feel that we will stay home much more now. Even though I did love our outings to the library, now book searching time will not be eaten away by internet time!

*Now to find the perfect desk for the living room. My aunt was super awesome and gave me a small desk but I am worried it is too small for Cody's desktop so we will keep looking for a desk and I will use it for my sewing machine area instead!

*I finished the crochet stitch markers (pictured!) for liz at work. I really like how they turned out! I think I'll make a couple copper ones for myself!

*Now to just work on my yard, after it snows this weekend of course!!
