Tasty Tuesday

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Guess what? It is Tasty Tuesday time again!

With the Hubby coming home at the end of the month, I will definitely have a few challenges when it comes to meals! While in the big sandbox, he is served chicken every single day! As the Hubby tells it, they have chicken prepared five ways. They are:

1.) Oven Baked Chicken

2.) Savory Baked Chicken

3.) Five Spice Chicken

4.) Fried Baked Chicken

5.) Jerk Chicken

If you hadn’t guessed it yet, the chicken that isn’t eaten is recycled the next day. By the time you get to jerk chicken that has got to be some seriously dry chicken!

My recipe for this week is a favorite of ours. It is inexpensive to make if I am lucky enough to catch a few good sales. (more…)

Tip Thursday

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

Fellow AF wife, Magnolia Sun does a Tip Thursday. This week I thought I would join her!

I received this tip in an email from my mom:

We’re troubled by roaches here in the South, and I’ve found an effective, economical, and environmentally safe way to deal with them. I coat the top inch of a glass jar with vegetable oil and pour in three or four ounces of beer. I place this trap in one of those places where roaches love to hide, and I forget about it for two or three days. By this time I’ll have a jarful of roaches; once attracted to the beer bait, they fall in and can’t get back out over the oily barrier. I just put the lid on the jar, throw the whole thing out, and start over with another jar. This method sure beats smelly sprays and poisons.

I haven’t had any roach problems here in Texas, but when we lived in South Carolina- they took over! No matter how clean your house was, if you didn’t have it treated regularly, you would be co- habituating with these bugs!
