 I was just goofing off the other day, playing around on the Internet!

I was exploring www.pinterest.com , I was on Twitter and Goofed off on Facebook! I spent practically the Whole Day on the computer! The Whole Day!

Did I COOK? Nope! Went to Wendys and had some kind of Chicken Guacamole Sandwich! Oh man it was Good!
My sandwich did NOT look like this! Hahaha!

Then, Back onto the computer! Hahaha! I found a great new pattern that I feel excited about making, cuz honestly, after Christmas, I felt so burnt out on any type of knitting! ( I do not have any pics, I forgot to take any before I gave everything I made away! Dummy!)

I did start on a new hat.... and it took me three days to get that going! Gee.... And I'm still not into it! Hahaha! :p
I cast on 80sts on US 8 working a 4x4 ribbing.... :)


But I found this!  It's so cute! It has pockets! How cool is that?

Nothing to Do With Food!

This post has nothing to do with food. Unless you consider the empty containers and scraps this man finds so interesting in the neighborhood Trash Cans.......

He has a great bike set up
He must see me and the camera

Why Do I Have To Eat Spaghetti?

Where's My Taco?


This was made using Whole Wheat Thin Spaghetti Noodles, it adds a very interesting flavor to the dish. I liked the Thin Spaghetti :)

I also fried up Fajita Meat ( pre-packaged, frozen), because I did not have Hamburger Meat, in about a tablespoon of Olive oil, then chopped it up into smaller pieces added that to the sauce, threw the noodles in, mixed it all together, sprinkled it with some grated cheese and red pepper flakes. And WaLa!

This was Delicious!

And yes, I made Plain Tacos (Meat and Cheese Only!) on the side for the Picky Eaters. Hahaha! More Spaghetti for Me!

Where's My Potato?

What is this? Noodles? Where's my potato? That's not healthy!



Why are there yellow carrots on my plate? You put them there on purpose!
Hahahaha!
I got this recipe from http://www.favediets.com/Chicken-Recipes/Easy-Baked-Chicken-with-Dijon-and-Balsamic-Vinegar/ct/1

Well, I must admit...

I changed the recipe! I did not have all the ingredients, but it came out really tasty! Here's my version:

I used Three Chicken Thighs...
I used Spicy Brown Mustard
I used 1 large freshly smashed and chopped Clove of Garlic
Dried Thyme
Rubbed Sage (What?) I used Dried
I used Fresh Rosemary from my half dead plant in my neglected garden
Salt and Pepper to taste
I did Not have Balsamic Vinegar or Lemon, so I used Apple Cider Vinegar!
I used about 2 Tblsp of Olive Oil

I followed the rest of the directions.... and It was good! I wish I would have made more pieces of Chicken though  :)

For the Noodles:

Follow package directions
Drain
Toss in 2 Tblsp of Butter and  a Palm full of Dried Parsley and mix.

Needless to say, The Dog Got The Picky Eaters (49 years old!) Noodles and we went and picked up some Dairy Queen for Dessert! The Big Spoiled Baby!

Honey Spots

Bananas.

Did you know that bananas are tastiest when they have lil brown spots on them?

You can put them in the fridge or freezer, they will turn black, but don't worry, they're still good :)

Here's a great idea if you when you have too many ripe bananas:

Puree your ripe bananas with a lil bit of lemon juice.

Keep in a freezer bag in your freezer.

They'll be good for about six months in there.

When your in the mood for a smoothie or feel like making some banana bread,muffins or whatever, thaw out in the fridge, and your ready to go!
