Impromptu Pigs

So, Sundays around the Lucas house hold consist primarily of football. I, however, do not partake in this event. I have learned that I do not speak in the living room while football is on and walking in front of the TV is forbidden. I have also learned that when bad words are spoken they are not directed at me. Rather, only directed at the TV station and the computer station where the fantasy football is monitored regularly throghout the day. I have learned to carry on my day with no question. I have learned that I am free to do whatever I see fit on Sunday, as long as I do not disturb the system of manhood in the living room. I am okay with that. I have also learned that the man being in the living room will eat pretty much anything I feed it since it does not get off the couch at all during this sacred time.

As I was chatting with my sis via skype, she suggested that pigs in a blanket fair well as a nice sporty appitizer. I didn't really have the makings for it...so I thought. No little smokies and not the proper ingredients to make a nice dough. But, alas, I discovered I did have some turkey kielbasa and some grands biscuits. The man beings tastebuds will likely respond to this! I just cut the turkey keilbasa down to somewhat of a little smokey size, added some great cheese from Trader Joe's and wrapped those suckers up with the buiscuit dough and there you have it. Impromptu pigs in a blanket. That equals a happy manhood system in the living room.

Cheers!

"You Should Sell These"

That is what Jeff told me this morning during breakfast. I guess that means he liked it! 

I took the Hatch Chile scones and made "breakfast scone" with a turkey omelet and Munster cheese. I toasted the scones with butter.  Yep, it was yummy. 

Happy Sunday!  Now, I am going to go work on my knitting. I think this may help bring the Fall weather to Texas sooner. 

Cheers!  

A Little Spinning Therapy

Spinning yarn is so relaxing and an incredible form of therapy.  It has been a difficult week around here but I found some comfort in spinning this week. A package of Alpaca arrived in my mailbox last week. It spins so beautifully. I have never worked with it before. It is much more silky and smooth than what I am used to. But, it spins so easily! Right now I am waiting for it to dry so I can start knitting with it. 

Alpacas are such funny animals! 

Poor Jeff is going to indulge me to a trip to an Alpaca farm in BC. But, I think he will get a kick out of it really. 

The weather is so nice outside today. It rained for a long time yesterday and I think the rain brought in a cool front. I love the fall weather and after a very HOT summer it is starting to feel like fall around here! For some reason the fall weather makes me want to cook. So I went to the grocery store this morning and bought all my favorite fallish food items. For breakfast I made a breakfast quesadilla. I was searching for a recipe for something else but came across this neat website and the video recipe for the quesadilla. Just look over at the featured videos and you will see the one for the breakfast quesadilla. I added sautéed onions, jalapeños, and garlic to it. It was so easy to make and delicious! 

I hope everyone has a happy weekend!

Cheers!
