Chicken and Dumplings

Everyone wanted to know how last week's chicken and dumplings were. They were quite tasty! The only little thing was that none of us could taste the cheese in the dumplings, so you would either have to add more or you could just skip the cheese.

In the pic...you can kind of only see the dumplings on top.

And in case you need it, here is a link to the recipe 1 more time :)

Quotable Sunday - #10

Toni at A Daily Dose of Toni hosts Quotable Sunday each week. This week I have decided to do quotes about grandparents due to the fact that I have been spending so much time with them.

What children need most are the essentials that grandparents provide in abundance. They give unconditional love, kindness, patience, humor, comfort, lessons in life. And, most importantly, cookies. ~Rudolph Giuliani

They say genes skip generations. Maybe that's why grandparents find their grandchildren so likeable. ~Joan McIntosh

No cowboy was ever faster on the draw than a grandparent pulling a baby picture out of a wallet. ~Author Unknown

The reason grandchildren and grandparents get along so well is that they have a common enemy. ~Sam Levenson

A grandmother pretends she doesn't know who you are on Halloween. ~Erma Bombeck

When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window. ~Ogden Nash

I don't intentionally spoil my grandkids. It's just that correcting them often takes more energy than I have left. ~Gene Perret

Latke

I had the privilege Thursday and Friday of dog-sitting the dog I used to dog-sit all the time. His name is Latke (like a potato pancake) and I believe he is a Westie (or West Highland White Terrier). He is absolutely adorable and if his owner would give him to me, I would take him in a heartbeat. Latke is about 5 years old and just full of love and energy! He is probably the only dog that my dog would tolerate being in this house. My dog is pretty possessive of us at this point. Here's a pic :)

Saturday 9 - #6

Saturday 9 blog posts 9 questions each week, sometimes with a theme and sometimes without.

Saturday 9: Rain

1. What do you typically like to do on a rainy day? I love watching movies and just listening to the rain

2. Tell us about the last time you did something you later regretted, that you can share with us. Normally when I regret anything, it's opening my mouth and saying something I shouldn't have. I don't remember any specific examples right now though.

3. I recently got an email from a lover from a very long time ago. I was asked "Have all your dreams come true?" If it were you and it was from someone you remember fondly, how would you answer the question? All of my dreams haven't come true yet, but I'm only 26 so that's okay.

4. If you had a job interview and was asked, "If you were an animal, what kind would you be (other than human?)" How would you answer that question. I would want to be a hippo, just because they are my favorite animals and they have relaxed lives :)

5. Do you think it is a good idea to share with a new lover stories of your past lovers? I think you need to be honest, but only to a certain extent. As with anything in life, there is such a thing as too much information!

6. When do you think it is permissible or even important to lie? This is a big issue to me...and I really never think it is okay to lie.

7. What was the last thing you did that you never thought you would? I played drunken Mario Party last Saturday night...and I almost never drink!

8. What is one important lesson that you learned from your mother? She taught me how to interact with people with tact.

9. What is one important lesson that you learned from your father? My dad taught me to love all animals, and how to work with them, train them, etc.
