Woo hooo

It was a rough couple of days! But I'm out of it now!! LOL

This is currently on repeat on Tony's Ipod...he LOVES this song and he loves to hook the laptop to the surround sound and play it...LOUD lol, now I'm stuck on it! LOL

My MRI came back normal (THANK GOD) so now I have to have yet more testing done to see what is causing these God awful headaches.

I do not have to continue with jury duty...WOO HOO

Lookie at the gift that I got! My Mommy loves me!

She said she wanted me to smile lol. Yep, I was in the dumps this weekend lol. But this sureeeeee did the trick, there is more, but I'll take pics of it later. I was trying to think of what I was going to do with this...but now I know lol. This fabric is perfect for this dress. I HAVE to finish Jaelyn's dress so I can sew for ME! lol

Then, I had the most awesome-est mail day today. Tany sent me this:

*GASP* I swear, I was about to rear-end someone in the kid pickup line. I was SO trying to look at this and drive. The fashion in here is INSANE! I LOVE IT!!! My mind was on OVERLOAD last night. I've never done a "knock-off" But I saw a couple of things in here that are REALLY do-able for me. I am so going to try...it is..JUST FABRIC! And yes it is in Spanish, but I've been learning it for the last three months, so I'm OKAY. I can figure it out...I think! LOL> I took French in school, I WISH I would have taken Spanish! LOL

Thank you Tany!!! I am THRILLED to pieces with this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Over the weekend, there was mucho cooking...but that's always lol. We love to cook AND eat over here. Now one thing I do, is let the kids loose in the kitchen. HOWEVER, it's not just a free for all but I will take out all the ingredients, and tools then just give them the recipe. Welllllllllllllllllllllll Miss Kayla D. decided that she wanted to make chocolate cheese cake. I have a really easy recipe that I let her use (she has made it before) so it's not bad, but BAAAAAAAAAAAAAABYYYYYYYYYYY it can get messy. I dare not take my camera in the kitchen when the Diva Chef is in there lol.  Here are a couple pics after she finished making a HUGE MESS:(we HAD to clean it first lol)

She is working up a storm:

Check out the finished product:

And yes it was GOOD! She said, that's how they make them look on Food Network lol.

We had seafood night...Lobster tails, steamed lemon and herb shrimp, FRIED tilapia, and baked french fries...yes it was all well rounded lol. Fried food is okay every now and then lol. Can anyone tell me how to keep lobster tails from curling when you cook them?? Sunday I cooked by request...baked pork chops, turnip greens, corn bread and mac & cheese....

Crap, I forgot the pic of the mac and cheese lol oh well!

Ok, that is IT for me!! I hope you guys have a wonderfully fantastic day!

P.S I will work on getting caught up on my emails this week ;-)

Toodles!!!!!

Don't you just love how the children can mess your whole kitchen!!! looks yummy

[erica b.]

It's very cool when they are old enough to clean the kitchen after they make a mess! About the lobster tails, skewer them! That's the easiest way to keep them from curling.

[Alexandra]

The book looks really interesting. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

[Lara]

I am glad you are feeling better and also glad that your MRI was normal. We all get in funks and it is ok.

Your dinner sounds soooo good! I don't know how to keep Lobster tails from curling though.

[sappmama]

I'm glad you didn't take a pic of the mac and cheese. It'll would've put me OVER THE TOP.

Whoa! Look at Kayla's cheesecake. She's got skillz!

Glad you're feeling better. That pink dress is going to be soooo pretty.

[Stacey_CrimsonPurl]

Well your spirit may have not been up this past weekend but the food looked wonderful!

LOL @ Kayla's food network comment! :o)

Yes! It is "just fabric"!!! I gotta keep remembering that when I knit too!

[Lovely]

Can we become cooking friends -- I am SOOO not on your level when it comes to the kitchen!! Hahaha.. My dear husband must really love me!

[Lisette]

Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. My husband suffers from migraines and the cause is a mystery, he has figured out how to manage them and that's all we can do.
Thank God I was eating my bagel this morning while looking at all your yummy food!
Have a great day!We have temperature in the high 50s by us and that is a cause for celebration.
PS: Your daughter looks so proud of herself and she should!

[gold]

I am going to have to try that letting my kids loose in the kitchen.Sounds like it would be fun!!Glad you are feeling better and that your MRI is clear!!

[Cassandra]

I am glad you are out of your funk and your tests went well. I hope they are able to help your headaches. I'm having them too lately.

The material is so pretty! I can't wait to see what you do with it. Hurry up and finish the kids stuff! LOL!

Good for Kayla! I loved to cook when I was a kid. It was such a good feeling! But now I am so hungry! Stop doing that too me! LOL!

Have A Great Day!

[Christina]

Insert a skewer in the lobster tail but make sure it goes down the complete length of the tail and then drive to my house to serve them to me while they are still warm:+) I love when you get good news girl! lol

[cheryl]

I LOVE "Love Song."It's gotta be my favorite right now!!

And....yummm...lobster tails? You guys are living the high life over there. Sounds DELICIOUS!!!!!

[Maiisha]

Vison a happy dance smiley "here"....so glad you are out of the funk and that your MRI results were normal.

I NEED the recipe 4 the lemon & herb shrimp...was going 2 make scampi but steamed sounds like a better idea.

Cute pic of Kayla in the kitchen...that choco cheesecake looks quite tasty!

[Linda]

Been lurking for a little while now decided to come out and say I am happy to here that even though your weekend was bad, your week started out with good news. I see you love to cook and so do I maybe you can tell me where you get all these recipes from I tend to stick to the same old family receipe so scared to try new things and I or my daughter might not like it. Be Blessed

[Pirouette]

I'm glad you're MRI came back normal. I will say a pray about your headaches. :-)

Lovely fabric. I've been eyeing that Vogue pattern for a while. Just have to wait for another sale!

[kathy]

That orange cross strapped top is amazing, wow. I'm also in love with the pattern for the pink dress, can you tell me which pattern that is? Thanks Adrienne!

[Bobbi]

hurray on the MRI and pretty fabric and fabulous patterns!

[Lashell]

That food looks so good. Now I'm hungry.

[Ang]

I'm glad that you are better and MRI results were negative. And that food looks great! I'm hungry too. LOL!

[Jeanine]

Everything looks so deelish. Have you seen Down Home with the Neely's on The Food Network?

[vee]

oh my word, that dinner looks yummy!!! next time send me a plate, okay?! :)

[Monica]

Those outfits are gorgeous!! You have to make both of them!!

I remember "cooking" in my Mom's kitchen too!! Great stuff and great memories!

[Dawn Bibbs]

Great post, Adrienne. And I'm glad you're feeling better.

Girl, you're a better mom than me. I'm not much on letting kids work with me in the kitchen. Maybe when she gets a little older...we'll see.

As far as the lobster tails, I don't ever cook them, myself. But I do know that all you have to do is use a wooden skewer in the tails and they'll stay straight.

Toodles!

[Tany]

That pink fabric is fabulous and looks like it will make a great dress! I'm so glad you like the Hola magazine! The pictures in it are of extreme quality and it's my favorite fashion magazine!

[Tany]

AND I'm so glad your MRI came out alright!

[allisonchk]

I'm so glad that your "live and unscripted" life is back on track. Your posts always leave me feeling energised - (or maybe exhausted!!). Or hungry! - I sure am glad I had breakfast before reading this.

[Larjmarj]

"that's how they make it look on the food network" TOO funny!

Everything looks awesome! Yummy!

[Marji]

you got the new Hola! wow. I have a friend who occasionally brings these back from Europe. They are fabulous

[Keianna]

Glad your results were normal. I will pray they have an answer for the source. I haven't had fried fish in a while. Your pic looks so good :-)

[Diana]

Glad the MRI and Jury Duty are over. LOVE that pink dress!

[maria]

Hi there! So glad to hear the results were normal! :D

Sending you hugs...and a fun little tag! :D

[Berry]

That cake looks damn yummy. Lucky you!!!

[Cennetta]
