New dinner and stuff

So I took a break from the old crock pot last night because I didn't get up early enough to get something ready and to to also give Mister David a breather!  I made a breakfast bake instead and I have to say it was pretty yummy.   I love breakfast for dinner, always have.   I may actually be able to survive on biscuits and gravy until the inevitable heart attack that would ensue shortly after my quest would begin.


I took a bag of breakfast style frozen potatoes ( potatoes O'Brien would be way better if your family enjoys variety, mine hoever does not)lined a baking pan with half the bag, laid stips fo pre-cooked bacon over the top, sprinkled some onion flakes, added some precooked ham, layered more potatoes and bacon, topped it with cheese and poured 1 dozen eggs whisked with a cup of milk over the the toped and baked it until set.   For added clogged arteries and no added nutritional value, I served it with a biscuit topped with gravy.  I forgot to take a finished pic, but here is one of assembly.



I wish that my last batch of homemade yogurt lived up to the first.   Apparently when you leave it wrapped in a flour sack towel for 6 hours you get somewhere between Fage and Yogurt cheese.  Watching the boys try to choke this down and be polite was priceless.  Next time I will use a non frozen starter and be home to tend to things better.

I also confess to loosing my ever loving mind last night and exploding like a raging lunatic all over my children like a self controlled Song of Solomon mother and wife.  I feel blue lately, stressed, overworked, and WHAM....poor kiddos.   I spent the majority of my evening having major GUILT and apologizing profusely for my yelling and the occasional "FLYING-S"  (s-word).   


I have decided that I hate my mouth.   Somewhere in the depths of this woman is a sailor I think, its embedded deep and tends to enjoy stress and surface at the worst times.  I am such a sinner, seriously no sarcasm intended.  The worst of sinners and thankfully I have forgiving children and Jesus.  Also thankfully I have a Dave that knows when I have had it and need to do some retail therapy.  He took me to Target to buy laundry baskets, Tupperware and a coffee cup.   It was all better then.   Thanks Dafe. (aka David, Dafin, Dabe, Dabid, and Dave)


Tonight is Bailey's second homecoming dance, she has the best shoes.......wanna see?  Tune in tomorrow for pics or more realistically Monday...some Monday in the next year.

  1. Ah, that food looks pretty durn good. And I know what you mean about the flying off the handle. I am certainly glad about forgiveness and the prompting of the spirit to ask for it. It's humbling.
