WHAT WAS I THINKING?

Achhhhh, I decided, in the pursuit of healthiness, that I need to throw more vegetables into the mix here.  Spod and I tend to not make proper meals.  You can tell by our loaded dishwasher…full of bowls and no plates.  As such, we don't eat as many vegetables as we should.

With that in mind, this morning I went looking for something for breakfast.  There was a nice fresh bag of brussels sprouts in the fridge.  So I boiled up a pot, put salt and pepper on them and a dash of o calorie pancake syrup I bought about five years ago.  And I must report that they were delicious.

But…now I have a stomach ache and I feel pukey. They are boiling around in there and my stomach is getting bigger and bigger.  Jeez..and its been two hours since I ate them.  Blehhhh…not doing that again.

It seems today is a Christmas day.  We are going to go out and get a tree and go to Target.  Target isn't very far from us (nothing is actually) and we will be doing some more present shopping.  The kids will be going with us and the back of the truck is empty..ready for a tree.  Once that tree goes up and the lights are on it starts to get exciting and christmassy.  I think I am going to plan a cheesy game we can all play for Xmas eve.  Due to so many of us abstaining from alcohol this year, for one reason or another, beer pong is off!  Plus we have a couple of little kids I wish to include.

And I have started to peruse the recipe sites on line.  Paula Deen is a really good place to start but after seeing the Stupidstore commercials…PC brand stuff in particular, I just may go load up on appetizers there.  My kitchen isn't completely stocked yet and baking is a challenge.   But I do have about five hundred tart shells in the freezer.  Quiches and butter tarts…mmmmmm

Ahhh jeez..my stomach!  I think I shall go now and deal with this…blahhhhhh…sorry  TTYL
