Instead of writing on one topic, I figured that I would share several things that have been going on this weekend.
First. I think I have strep throat. I think. It has been so long since I have had a sore throat...or strep for that matter that I do not even know the severity. I do know that I feel like crud, my tonsils are severely swollen, and I can barely swallow. Not to mention the occasional chills and not feeling like doing anything. I refuse to go to work if I continue to feel like this in the morning...I will go to the Dr. because this has been going on for exactly one week today with no hopes of getting better. I just bought Halls Breezers (non-mentholated) cool berry flavor and they are WONDERFUL. I will have to suggest you splurging on this if you, or anyone you know develops a sore throat.
Second. I went to Sunday School and church this morning. We did an exercise where we answered adjectives that have been describing us over the last few weeks. You are given a starting point in your faith and linked with a bible character which describes where you are today, and what you need to work on to have a balanced view of God. I was Jonah. It is very true. Like Jonah, I know what I am called to do but I am afraid and I run. And I mean, I run fast! Also thrown into the mix is a little selfishness and the want to have my own direction in life. I want to be the boss and I want to do what I want to do....when I want to do it! As we know, we are deciples of Christ and are called to be his servants. Servant is such a harsh word, but comes many, many blessings. I do have to give up my life and be willing to serve God....WHATEVER it takes. It is so hard though. Think about that. It really is.
Third. I have been helping my cousin and his fiance move in next door. The trailer has arrived and I figured I would volunteer my cleaning services. A re-cap: I graduated High School with the fiance...Amanda. We grew up together and she is my age. Wade is only 21 and my first cousin. It is weird to see them together and even weirder to see WADE getting married before me! It is really blowing my mind...still. They are very cute together and I am happy to see them in the process of starting their life! Amanda and Wade's pic that I took at our work day at the new hacienda.
Forth. I am cooking an easy dinner tonight that I am uber pumped about. I get super-excited if it is a thrown together dish. It is the first time I will have made it - so I hope it is edible. I have seen and tasted numerous 'taco bakes' but this one looks yummy as well. Recipe? I shall share:
Taco Bake
1 pkg Kraft Mac & Cheese
1 lb ground beef
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
1 cup thick 'n chunky Salsa!
Preheat oven to 400F. Cook Mac & Cheese as directed. Scramble meat, drain, and add taco seasoning. Mix sour cream into Mac & Cheese when done. In an 8 inch or 9 in round baking dish; add half of the dinner mix; top with laers of the meat mix, one cup of cheese and remaining dinner mixture. Cover.
Bake 15 mnutes. Top with salsa and remaining 1/2 cup of cheese. Bake, uncovered, and additional 5 min or intil cheese is melted.
Makes 6 servings
*Add corsely crushed tortilla chips along with salsa and cheese for some pizazz!
Sounds yummy!
I am going to cook and rest! Lord knows that I need it!
