Does this look yummy to you?
It doesn't, does it??!!

This was supposed to be Apple Crisp.
It was more like
Apple Flop.
Apparently the "topping" was supposed to be a "crumble" not a smear of goopiness.
And apparently this was supposed to have "flavor" too.

Floppy Magoo Recipe #2: This Squash Bread Stuffing was more like Let's-Dry-Out-Your-Mouth-And-Dehydrate-Your-Whole-Body-By-Sticking-A-Bunch-Of-Bread-In-There-With-A-Tiny-Bit-of-Vegetable-And-Bacon-And-Call-It-A-Stuffing Dish.
I felt like I was in the Sahara Desert.
Waaaaterrrrr, I neeed waaattteeeerrr.
Floppy Magoo Recipe #3:
Chicken on Nachos.
So I was TRYING to make something
original.
Something that no one has ever made BEFORE - ever in all the culinary history of the world.
Shut up!!!!
I SWEAR on a stack of Grandma's Better Homes and Gardens cookbooks that the crap laying on those chips is real food!!!

He's a snob.
Floppy Magoo #4: Could someone come over and clean my kitchen?
What about my kitchen from a week ago?
WHY CAN'T I KEEP A CLEAN KITCHEN??!!?
And why does my mother-in-law leave her empty wine bottles on my counter all the time??!!??!!
Heeeeeeeee. I'm just teasing.
Those aren't my mother-in-law's.
Those are my mom's!!

Dear Ma,
Please Do Not take me out of the will. I was kidding for Pete's sake!! It's pretend, it's a blog, I LIE sometimes!
Love,
your favorite daughter Angie
Hey LOOK!!! My laundry room is a little clean though!!!!
GO ANGIE, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, GONNA PARTY. LIKE IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY. Re-looking at this picture again, I know it looks messy but BELIEVE ME, this is CLEAN! For me.
I discovered "receptacles" y'all!!
The fancy word for them is "BASKETS!!!"
They are helpful in corralling laundry!!
Still partying, like it's my birthday, keep partying, even though it's not my birthday!
And one month after discovering receptacles, how is the laundry room looking,
you ask??!!
GO ANGIE, IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, GONNA PARTY, oh I'll shut up now. YAY!!!!
Still clean!!!!
Kind of.
Cloooose enough!!!

Floppy Magoo #5:
*shaking head*
I have no explanation.
Move along now.

Floppy Magoo #6: These combo potatoes didn't look too bad before going in the hot oven, did they?
Well, we didn't eat them. They came out limpy-magoo and flavorless. Even the cats wouldn't try one. They sniffed and walked away.

Completely.
Utterly.

Okay, let's move on to more
deeelish things....
Our beautiful, soulful niece Annabelle and her family came over for dinner one night this summer!
Annabelle &
Little Boy Blue played
and played
and played!
And Annabelle's parents brought a bee-utiful baby boy with them...our new baby nephew Graham!!
This yittle chunky baby was not even two months old!
That is one well fed yittle tiny baby boy!!!
Look at those chunkmeister legs!

However...
Little Boy Blue
was intrigued by this new baby boy his Grandpa was holding and talking to...
yet confused why HE wasn't the recipient of the holding and cooing.
So everybody
practiced the art of compromise.
Oh my gosh, don't even get me started on our two new baby nieces who are one month apart!!!
They look like yittle tiny burritos I love them so!
Baby Niece Kathlynn is six weeks old here....and Baby Niece Matti is two weeks old!!! Oh my gosh, Ima eat those two babies up they're so darn yummy!!!
And the kicker is Tim and I got to snuggle all three brand new nieces and nephew within a few months of each other! Blessed is what we feel!

So I'm going through my roll of pictures and I
spy this picture....
Now why would I take a picture of my dirty work shoes and dirty work shorts at the end of the day with that super lovely birthmark on my leg?
Well, the next picture told the story.
No it didn't! It didn't tell the story!!
These pictures were taken FIVE WEEKS AGO! Heck, I can't remember what I ate for breakfast much less why on earth would I photograph dirty clothes?
The only thing I can think of is to prove that I work hard.
Really? Why would I think dirty clothes prove that?
My cats go outside CLEAN every morning and roll in the gravel and dirt for hours. Does THAT prove that they are hard workers? On the contrary. They're lazy, spoiled felines who do things like roll in the dirt and gravel for hours. For fun. Just Because.

Clearly there's no closure to THAT conundrum so let's keep moving on...
It's very important
what I want to show you next....
Orange
and
yellow handled silverware!!!
Picked these up at auction. They forced me to bid on them. Cause they're awesome.

Also I wanted to show you the
summer kitchen.
We use it as an outdoor sitting room/office.
See that Radio Flyer wagon by the door,
in the left hand corner up there....
in the left hand corner up there....
...It cost like
30 million dollars!!!
Seriously, have you priced wagons lately??
When did little red wagons get so expensive?
Back in my day, you could buy them for a nickel and stick of sugar I'm pretty sure.
So this is the ceiling of the summer kitchen.
I have a few vintage frames just hanging around up there.

And on the floor is this handmade,
all weather, turtle rug...it came from a Florida flea market.
Washes and wears great! Perfect for a summer kitchen.
I'll tell ya what I like A LOT is this set of rattan nesting tables.
Cute AND functional.
Picked up this set for $25 at a used store this summer, what a steal!
Now this is a 1940/50s metal outside set that I had purchased several years ago. There is a chair too.
I still have the original floral plastic cushions but traded those out for these more comfy ones.

This is a set of 4 cottage prints that look better in person than this picture shows.
Okay, since all these fantastic pictures and text were just sooooo exciting today,
I feel I must end this post with a bang!
Did you know you can put hot dogs in the crockpot!!!
True dat!
It's so much better and easier than cooking 56 hot dogs over a hot grill while everyone else is having fun!
Worked perfectly by the way!!
Throw them in on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.
They get all nice and warm and taste like the dogs you get at the ballpark! The outside ones even get some lines on them. Yum!
Crap. Now I'm hungry.

Oh! I did make some beef fajitas that were absolutely fantastic so I'll be sharing that recipe next time.
Stay cool and we'll
talk at ya soon!!
