My Yummy Dessert

I made this yummy yummy dessert yesterday and its already halfway gone!!  Its Oreo Cookie dessert.  My mom and dad came for dinner and took half of it with them.  D came to visit for a minute and grabbed her a bowl too.  Now, Mr.V and I have the rest of the bowl to ourselves, unless you knock on my door and ask!

Potato Soup Fiasco

I got this bright idea that I would make my own potato soup and instead of following the recipe I would regularly use I tried a quick and easy one. Had I read the recipe correctly, I would have realized something didn't add up.

The recipe told me to melt a stick of butter, then add a cup of flour. Stirring until it was completely smooth. Once it was smooth add 7 cups of milk a little at a time so it thickens. OMG! I just made gravy. If you have ever made homemade gravy you know that this is how you make it but not with butter. You usually use whatever grease you have left (bacon, pork, chicken..) and do it that way except you wouldn't want to use 7 cups of gravy unless your the Duggar's.

Hubby tried it and said..."Congrats! You make the best potato gravy ever! Then he applauded me for trying'"


It was digusting! So much for taking the easy way!

Happy Friday

I am home from work early today, and I am loving it. I don't have anywhere to be until 5pm and that sounds great to me. This afternoon I am going to get my hair cut, and it is much needed.

While reading blogs yesterday I decided that I am going to start cooking more and trying more recipes. Right now, I am going to search for some easy ones for picky eaters like Mr.V and myself. I plan to make me a recipe box. That sounds like so much fun to me.
