Well, I pretty much spent my whole day in the kitchen today. My girlfriends and I have a yearly Christmas party, and it's tomorrow. We do a cookie/candy exchange and do crafts with all of the kids. There are 7 of us, plus about 8 kids, depending on who is able to come. We've been doing this for about 13 years now. It's actually a group of my friends from high school. We've all managed to stay in contact. This is honestly something I look forward to all year long! And we take turns hosting the party, so each of us only has to do that once every 7 years. Anyway, I did all of my stuff for the exchange today: fudge, turtles, thin mints and frosted cookies (sort of like sugar cookies).
Since that will take up most of the day tomorrow, I did most of my menu planning/"pre-cooking" today. Tonight's dinner was beef and bean enchiladas and Mexican rice.
And here's the menu for the first few days of the week:
SUNDAY: Meatloaf, cream corn and rolls
MONDAY: Beef stroganoff and garlic bread.
TUESDAY: Shredded chicken sandwiches and chips
WEDNESDAY: Crock pot chili with oyster crackers, sour cream and shredded cheese
And now I'm wiped out! Time to go to bed and get rested up for the party tomorrow!
so I wanted to get the house "as ready as possible" for doing that. I still have to iron 
but without a football game to watch...what will I do for entertainment?
It did make a lot, so there's plenty for lunches this week for me and DH.
