Lazy Days

I have been feeling so lazy the past couple of days.  Brian has been on a cooking spree, and I am NOT complaining what-so-ever!  That dude can cook......when he wants to, of course.  His entree's have consisted of a "new" version of meatloaf, german bean soup, creamed brussel sprouts(I have never had brussel sprouts in my life! I am just getting used to green veggies, just ask my family LOL) Anyhoo, the brussel sprouts were a-maz-ing!!  Holy cow.  I was definately impressed.  He says he has more "plans" LOL.  That's fine with me, I love the break from the kitchen. 

Well, I wont be taking a break in the kitchen for long because I agreed to make 20 lbs of fudge and 4 batches of toffee for a dear friend of mine.  She's going to hand them out for Christmas gifts.  Jan is 72 years old and still cleans houses full time, as her business.  She reminds me of my mother-in-law and her shopping adventures.  Barb can shop the tar outta anyone, let me tell  you!  Wow, I get sidetracked at times.........back to Jan, she runs circles around me! She goes a million miles an hour, and here I am 33 and tired by 9pm.  I so wish I could get her energy in a liquid form.  I love that woman, so instead of her do the candy making herself, I offered to do it for her.  Here's to a messy kitchen!
