Well, I'm writing this blog at the very end of the day. It's ten minutes til midnight. Allen is taking Penny out and we will probably be getting ready for bed soon. We just finished watching the Disney computer animated film BOLT. It was VERY cute. We both liked it a lot. Allen had to work today, so I did a little bit of cleaning, took him lunch and did a tiny bit of shopping. Well I had the intention of doing some real Christmas shopping but it was too insane up town today so I only went to two stores and headed home. I think I will go during the week maybe when there aren't as many crazy people out and about. I needed to go to the mall, but there was no way I was brave enough to attempt that today! I bought us a cactus at Big Lots for $5. It has pretty red flowers, it's not the same as the Christmas cactus my mom had while we were growing up, but it's still neat. I also found some awesome heavy glass hot chocolate mugs at the Dollar Tree. I bought 4 of them. Sometimes you really can find some nice stuff at the dollar store , you just have to keep your eye out for the good stuff vs. the tons of crap they have there.
This evening I tried a new recipe for dinner and it was AWESOME! Definately a new "go to" recipe for chicken. It was honey balsamic glazed chicken and we both LOVED it. I served it with brown rice and brussel sprouts. I haven't haven't had brussel sprouts in a VERY long time, as a kid I didn't like them, but Allen said he really likes them, so I thought, what the heck, I'm an adult now, so we cooked em up. I steamed them rather than boiling them and they were really pretty good. I think I might have steamed them a little bit too long because they were pretty mushy. The flavor was good though, and I think I might experiment a little bit with them, they are very nutritious. Did you know that they are high in magnesium, phosphorus, riboflavin, and thiamin. They are very high in potassium, dietary fiber, manganese (not sure what that is...lol), vitamin A, C, and B6. Not one of the "super" veggies, but still overall a good one.
If any one wants the recipe for the chicken just shoot us an email.
Hope that everyone else had a great day! LOVE YOU ALL!
