Although I cook wonderful specialty food and desserts, DH is the bestest dinner cook in this family. His latest expertise has become Thai food.

Tonight it's chicken and oriental vegetables marinated in lemon grass.

Yummo!

Last night was restaurant called Kianti's. It's a "yuppified" version of Italian.

The food is good, the wine is good...

And if you time it right, you'll be there when all of the waiters put on a floor show to old 40's tunes (think Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy of Company C) and right in the middle, they have two guys "throw" pizza. Except these guys are throwing the pizza behind their backs, under their legs, rolling the pizzas down one arm behind their heads then down the other arm...

The kids love it...and since I don't have to cook, *I* love it

Tonight is pizza night in my household......bring on the extra cheese!!! MMmmmm!!

i make enchilada casserole. just rip up the tortilla's. mix everything up in big bowl. the sauce, can of green chili's..whatever you usually use. toss in pans...( i aways make 2 ) and top with cheese.

i even add some rice...black beans...spinach..

it's fast. using left over chicken is great. i got tired of rolling and rolling...

DH and I are going out again tonight, since I have been sick the whole month of Jan. we are making up for all the nights we didn't get to go out, LOL.

I make a great chicken enchilada casserole.

Sour Cream Chicken Enchilada Casserole
3-4 cups cooked, shredded chicken (about 4 breasts)
3-4 cups grated cheese –– (I like Mexican or Colby Jack)
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp garlic salt
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 med. onion (chop)
1 can of Rotel tomatoes (drained)
1 pack of taco shells (broken up) or chips

Mix all (but only half the cheese) in a bowl making sure the shells are all wet. Place in greased 9 x 13 casserole dish. Top with the other half cheese. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes, watch for the cheese to turn brown. Serves 6

caraba's for us. we got a gift card for christmas that has been burning a whole in my wallet.

my little guy came home sick with fever yesterday, but lil'monkey ( my 13 yr old daughter) is an awesome baby sitter. so the little time away should be fine. his fever is sticking at 99.

Can you believe all this sickness that has been going around? I don't know about your kids schools but one that 5 of mine go to had 80 kids out one day last week (I think it was on the news, a crew was out there Friday but I didn't see it on TV) and than sent a lot home throughout the day. All of my kids got the flu this year, LOL, as a matter of fact my DD had the 1st report case of the flu in our county and for our county schools. All the kids also got that nasty cold last week also. And than that stomach thing going around, all the kids got it, I got it 3 times and our cleaning lady/nanny got it 2 times.

grandmonkey got fifth's disease and then gave it to me over christmas. it has hit me hard. he stil has achey joints too.

yep...flu and strep are bad at his school. out of 18 kids in his class...7 were out sick on friday.

lil'monkey...at the jr high...it's like the plague hit.

hubby and were just talking about how many members at the gym have been sick..and getting sick again.

hey...don't breathe on me.

LOL, Why do you think I haven't brought up meeting yet.
