In the Kitchen with Linda & Dinner Menu

I made oven Roasted Chicken and Vegetables last week. I’ve made variations of it before, and it always comes out good. The family loved it, and ate it all!

Roasted Chicken and vegetables

While I was outside working on garden stuff, my 28 year old son decided to make chocolate chip cookies. He found the recipe we use, with the ingredients on the front of the card, and the directions on the back. Except he didn’t know the directions were on the back. lol So he assembled the ingredients in his own interesting way. lol I walked in to find him using a potato masher to mix everything together. He put the dry ingredients in the bowl first, then added the shortening and butter, and was using the potato masher to mix it all together! lol

Surprisingly, they were edible. lol

The End of a Mother and Son Era

by

Ever since my youngest was 2 or 3, we’ve been putting this pink duck in the flower garden. Every spring we find it in the garden and set it on the rocks. Over the course of the summer, the animals would knock it back in the garden so we can dig it out again the next spring.

You can see the little pink duck sitting on the rocks in this picture from March of 2013.

I am way past due buying new shoes. I wear my shoes from when I get up, to the time I go to bed. So I wear them out quickly. I used to buy walking shoes, but somehow got out of the habit. Probably raising 6 kids? lol For a long time now, I have been just going to the store and buying whatever seemed to be the best for the lowest price.

In my efforts to regain my health, I’ve been walking more, and those cheap shoes from the store just don’t cut it anymore. I just placed my order on Reebok.com for new walking shoes! I ordered these Daily Cushion 2.0 RS walking shoes. The Reebok website was very easy to use. You can even chat with someone if you need help.

The Aeneid Homeschool Curriculum Giveaway

by

Last August I reviewed Roman Roads Media Old Western Culture The Greeks.

My 16 year old daughter has since finished the course. I liked it because it is a challenging, well written curriculum. My daughter liked it because she earned 2 credits for completing it. A social studies credit, as well as a literature credit.

I recently received a set of Roman Roads Old Western Culture The Romans The Aeneid, 4 dvds and a workbook, to check out.
