Oh Hi There Stranger!

8/18/2012

 
Hi There Strangers!!
Been a while, eh?


Well, I've been doing some cooking...
Picture
I didn't say successfully!!
Don't even ask.



Here's another example of another whole chicken failed endeavor within the
last two weeks....
Picture
Now  with this chicken,

I stuffed the cavity with lemons and thyme...

so far, so good.

Picture

And wrapped bacon all the way around it...
I think I used the cheap bacon this time and not the thick applewood smoked.

Picture

It kind of looks okay baked.
Even on that dinner plate that I thought was appropriate to serve on.

Picture

But it had absolutely no flavor.

None.

Blech.
Double blech.


So instead of talking about food, let me show you what's going on Friday night at that exciting place west of Frytown...
the Madsen Hacienda.
Disclaimer: Do not get jealous and hate me and never visit my blog again please.
Picture
First of all, It's 8:30pm and Tim's day JUST ended.
He is rather enjoying himself in the nice cool evening air with a cigar and glass of wine.

Place a tv with Hawkeye football in front of him with a bag of chips and dip, and he'd never leave that chair.

Picture

Mindy Peaches is enjoying the late summer evening too.

Picture
As are Vinny and Pepper.

Vinny back there looks like he has green alien eyes.

Look at the  ending of the
sunset in back; those colors! We always have stunning sunsets out here.


Let's see what else is going on tonight....
Picture

Well,

Menards just dropped off 10 panels of picket fencing to replace the picket fencing that was crushed during the twister or straight line winds August 4.

Picture




My flowers in the horse trough fared the winds pretty well though.


So let's move inside the house and see what exciting Friday night funtivities are going on...(it's a word, look it up.)


Picture
Look! My laundry is actually not piled to the ceiling tonight!!
Go Angie. It's my Birthday. Gonna party. Like it's my birthday.
Where's my award??!!
I totally deserve an award here!!!!









Picture
Yes. Now that one will do.

Picture
Oh look at my cute wedges though,

I just picked them up fo' cheap.
Oh look how that shelf needs painting. Shocking.





Picture

Kitchen is a disaster tonight though.


What's new.
*sigh*



Picture
On the kitchen counter is a portable building brochure from the Amish folks on
Hwy 22.

Why do I need to browse a portable building brochure you ask?






 Cause my garden shed looks like it's
ready for spaceship takeoff since the twister.
Picture
See the gaps in fencing too? Yup, some of that's probably still in Marvin Miller's bean field.

Along with my pole barn roof.




So let's see if there's any super amazing, exciting Friday night happenings in the dining room shall we...

Picture


Uh,

de answer
be no.

Picture
Hey, I did bring out some colored glass though for late summer.

Picture

And I LOVE this wine bottle with the nicked up label.

One dolla at an antique shop. Yup.


I know you want it.



Picture
Main floor guest bedroom...I can't keep
anything clean around here.
Whose crap is that anyway??!!

What????
Mine?
Whatev.

Picture


At least there's soothing music on the dish, so that's nice.



Picture
And the living room has mostly been staying picked up,
 
what with engineers and adjusters coming through.

Picture
And Sweetness is actually home tonight on a Friday night.

Course it's only 8:30pm and she later went out with a friend.

I don't know WHY a 22 year old would NOT want to hang with her parents and cats on a Friday night.

Kids are so selfish these days.





Picture
Oh! One last thing...that whole barbequed chicken at the top of the page that LOOKED a little dubious...it actually tasted good.

It just didn't photograph well.

I cut up the remainder of the chicken...

Picture
.

...threw it on pita bread that had been crisped up in the oven for seven minutes....added some fresh basil and caramelized onions.

Picture
Added fresh mozzarella.
 
Drizzled it all with olive oil and stuck it in the oven until the cheese melted.

Picture
And then I ate it !
For breakfast!


While I was typing up this here post.

And it was good!

Hey, I do have several tasty recipes including one with homemade curry....oh so yummy! 

Will be sharing again hopefully this weekend!

Hope everyone has a good Saturday and we'll talk at ya soon!  Have fun!
