Today In History

Do you know what today is?
It's the day after the second anniversary of this blog!
How exciting.

Actually, today is something.
Today is the day that in 1976 The Family Feud
(hosted at that time by Richard Dawson)
was introduced to the world.
I would have been three years old.
And cute.
Just FYI, I love The Family Feud.
I love most any type of game,
but I have always liked the family feud.
I know some of you, like my mother....and Laura....
can't get past Richard Dawson kissing every woman
in the room. I don't focus on the kissing. I'm all
caught up in the game. (If I'd actually been there,
I think I would have turned my check---I know
I wouldn't have kissed that guy on the lips. Yuck.
I'm not into kissing people that I'm not
married to or gave birth to.)
Don't think that I have this date marked on my calender.
This little bit of trivial information popped up to greet me
on Facebook this morning.
Because I play Family Feud on there.
I also play Scrabble on there.
So if you are a game player and my friend on Facebook,
start a Scrabble game for us. I'd love to play you!
I always have several games going.
Or just come over and sit in my dining room
and we'll play a game of Scrabble in real life.

It rained here last night.
I'm talking thunder and lightening and the whole bit.
I LOVED it.
And the forecast for this week has a chance of rain
every single day. Woo-hoo! Bring it on.
Maybe I'll get enough green beans to can after all.
Sorry if you're trying to do something outside this week
like get married or have a yard sale or camp.
You're probably going to get rained on.
But we need the rain around here.

It's a new week, Dear Reader!
I'm enjoying this lazy Monday morning.
I'm going to be making a new recipe for lunch today
(Sausage Spinach Bake---sent to me by my favorite aunt,
and if we all hate it, she'll no longer be my favorite aunt).
I'll let you know how that turns out.

Do you remember that Martha Stewart recipe
I made last summer that turned out to be
the worst food ever?
Not to mention UGLY. Ugh.




And if you thought it looked bad in the pot,
it looked worse on the plate with the stupid tomato thing
of Martha's that sounded so yummy
and turned out so disgusting.


And yes I did serve it to my family.
And yes, we did have a big dessert that night.

And how secure am I in myself as a cook to show you
such horrible pictures of food I made?
Go back to last summer and find the "whatever Martha" post
if you want to relive the moment. 'Cause with pictures like that,
who doesn't want to relive this mess?
Try not to stampede over each other
as you race to find those recipes.
