Today is the true definition (in my opinion) of a fall day. It is cold/brisk, gray and rainy. The leaves are changing and falling to the ground. I finally broke out the gloves (not my iPhone gloves- just regular gloves) to keep my fingers warm. Thank you Kay May for giving me your iPhone gloves!!! I am prepared to go to the Football game tonight but only if the weather gets a little better. I refuse to sit out in the cold and rain!
Almost two weeks ago my big headed wonderful loving older brother called me and told me that he would be coming to visit me. Well not really to visit me, he would be working but he was only taking the job so he could see me. I haven't seen my brother since April so please believe me when I say that I was extremely Happy!!! I knew that we would not get to spend too much time together but I was hoping that he could squeeze in a meal with me! Of course he said yes and that started me thinking- What shall I cook? I had come across a new recipe for steak and grits but my brother doesn't eat grits. So I asked him what he wanted and his reply was simple "fried chicken and potatoes." I went all out and made an Earthquake cake. The recipe is super easy!!! I also prepared whipped potatoes, fresh green beans and fresh corn cut off the cob! I really felt like I had been cooking for HOURS! OH I forgot to mention that I also baked some chicken with a homemade bbq sauce and browned some rolls. Well my brother came over and boy did he eat!!!! He devoured the fried chicken and cleaned his plate twice. I was hoping to bring left overs to work today but that did not happen!!! So glad that I got to spend time with him! And really looking forward to seeing family in November and December for the holiday season!!!
I am still smiling from ear to ear!
Enjoy your Tuesday!
