Kids (Dogs) and the Husker Weekend/Prediction

~ Maddy and Suh on the bed 10-23-09
The kids are off to the vet for this weekend.  We are not taking them with us because we are going with a couple of friends to the Husker game this weekend and the car would be far too cramped with all of us in there.  Not to […]

Pumpkin Seeds

~ Pumpkin Seeds with a recipe from Google   10-26-09

I-130 Alien Registration

~ Received yesterday, Receipt of our Alien Registration Request

~Roasted Zesty Chicken and Potatoes  10/12/09

~Eggplant Parmesan  10/13/09

Lunch and Dinner 10/11/09

~Baked Ham with Stuffing using Grandma Block’s recipe

~Cherry Tomato, Basil, and Garlic Shrimp
Lets face the facts that really the only thing interesting going on in my life right now is cooking.  I have a new puppy that bites my arm almost off, I have a wonderful wife that is working too hard to really do […]

~Cheesy Quesadilla from Betty Crocker Cooking Basics
Well, yesterday was a much lighter day in the kitchen than it usually is.  For lunch we had the Chicken Parm.  It was a reminder back to my days on Nevis when I would go over to one of my […]
