Day 32

The days are kind of just running from one to the other and it's at this point of deployments and TDY's that I tend to get confused and sort of lose track of what day it is. I think after a while you just go with the flow until your husband returns.
One thing is for sure, I will miss these daily picture posts when he's back, but I'm thinking I will continue to post pics with my daily posts, whatever they may be about :)

Cooking Thursday - Cheddar and Bacon Breakfast Sandwiches

It's a beautiful Thursday morning and time for yet another Cooking Thursday.  I'm sharing with you a recipe for breakfast sandwiches, hope you enjoy them.

I am thinking that next week I'll start sharing some crockpot recipes again, my stash of recipes is dwindling and I really would love to get some new ones to try.  So....if you want to join next week with a slow cooker recipe of your own, I would LOVE that :) 

If you want to use the picture, just click here for the original.

These are always welcomed in my home, especially on a Saturday or Sunday morning.   They are yummy, easy to throw together and the best part is that you can make a few at a time. 

Cheddar and Bacon Breakfast Sandwiches

3 eggs, beaten
1/4 c. milk
2 T. butter
8 thick slices bread
12 slices Cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled (I don't crumble mine)


In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk; set aside. Preapare a griddle or large skillet by melting butter over low heat.

Dip only one side of 4 bread slices in egg mixture. Place 4 bread slices, coated side down, on griddle or in skillet.

Top each bread slice with 3 cheese slices. Sprinkle cheese with bacon, or if you haven't crumbled it, just lay about 3 slices on top of the cheese.

Dip only one side of the remaining 4 bread slices in egg mixture and place over bacon, coated side up.

Cook 5 minutes per side or until bread is golden and cheese is melted.

Makes 4 sandwiches.

 

Day 29

What a BUG filled day I had.  I honestly got up, and by 7am was ready to go back to bed and start the day again.

It started with another blowout with a bunch of ants in my kitchen/living room area, mopping of floors again, more comet cleaner set out outside the perimeter of the house and then vinegar etc.  I'm SO sick of ants.

I thought I was done though, and I sat down to have my coffee when Nicholas asked for some breakfast, so  got up, headed to the cereal cabinet and thought I saw something from the corner of my eye, but I figured I was just imagining things.  Yeah NO.

Low and behold a lizard....a LIZARD folks, was in my cabinet.  Everytime it moved an inch I let out a blood curdling scream, you don't understand I can not stand lizard they make my skin crawl, they make me want to throw up, they give me goosebumps and I actually shiver and want to just cry LOL  It was a sad sight.

I was on a kitchen bench, with metal tongs in my hand, removing all the cereal boxes and every time that darn thing so much as moved I screamed, so much so that the last time I saw it and screamed I actually scared the darn lizard LOL

And the person who saved me, was Jasmine...she got rid of it for me.  How embarrassing.  Actually, no scratch that, I am not going to be embarrassed, I don't care what anyone thinks, I hate those things and I can't be near them Hahahah


::::  nasty little bugger, I still get goosebumps thinking about it



:::: she trapped it and then set it loose out in the front yard, and it started running towards me and I kicked rocks in it's path and screamed my way into the house



:::: lunch, a quick wrap. I think this is my favorite easy go to meal



:::: a view of my kitchen



:::: fixing dinner, a little boy snapped this pic of me, he says this is how I always am LOL In the kitchen, by the stove, cooking and he says it's a good memory for him. I'll take it :)



:::: and now getting ready to boil some eggs



:::: did you know that if you put baking soda in the water when you boil an egg, peeling it is extremely easy?



:::: I've been doing this for years, just never even thought to mention it until boiling some eggs for dinner. The shells literally come right off



:::: boiling some pasta



:::: Tuna Noodle Salad is one of the kids favorite foods on earth. They can eat this in enormous amounts. I usually make it with either noodles or potatoes.



:::: the sun starting to set



:::: first clouds I've seen in a long time, maybe we'll get lucky and have a little rain
