Ray Romano

Wow....we are in full gear, two parties today, Kroger kickin' my tail, baking to do for a get together tomorrow, and a Christmas program tomorrow.

Hadley's first party today was at school. The kids have been cooped up inside all week because of the rain, it is Christmas so they are excited, then we gave them doughnuts, and then they got to exchange presents. To say they were in overdrive would be an understatement. I was happy to go back to work and trade that chaos, for work chaos. Hadley got a Cinderella doll in the gift exchange and was pretty excited.

Her second party was at her Dance class. It was a pajama party and she came home with what consisted of a full bowl of candy. Happy days are ahead.

After dance class we went to eat and then to Kroger to get supplies for a get together tomorrow night. I will be making this cake, this mac n cheese, and these mushrooms. I don't bake or cook so it ought to be interesting. I have recently found this site and we have tried a couple of recipes from it, very user friendly and it will let you create a shopping list while you pick out recipes, really cool!!!! The mushroom recipe actually caused a near panic attack in Kroger tonight and I must say Kroger almost won. The recipe calls for Romano cheese, which I have heard of before, but have never had to shop for it before. Let me give you a tip and save you some time if you are ever looking for Romano cheese. After 30 minutes and two trips across the store, I learned Romano cheese is not in the cheese section, it is in the deli section. At one point I thought I had a better chance of finding Ray Romano in Kroger than the cheese. Sure hope the mushrooms are worth it!!!



After my near panic attack, I was forced to indulge in one of these to calm my nerves. The joys of a Grande Cafe Mocho with two extra pumps of Mocha and whipped creme, fabulous.
