Sorry, sorry I haven't updated our site in the last couple of days. I just got majorly lazy! Not a good thing to have happen to one's self. Maybe I can blame the weather, maybe not!

It's Tuesday again, no one wanted my jar of hot peppers. Like I said, they were just opened and have been in the refrigerator. Nothing is wrong with them besides being way too hot for my mouth!

Recipe Tuesday

I usually don't get the cookbook out, but here is a recipe I made for the first time a couple of days ago and boy was it good!

Fettuccini Alfredo

1/3 cup half-and-half, light cream
1 Tb margarine or butter
4 ounces plain fettuccine
1/3 cup grated Parmesian cheese
Cracked Black Pepper

Allow half-and-half and margarine to stand at room temperature 30 minutes

Meanwhile, cook fettuccine 8 to 10 minutes or till tender but still firm. Drain. Return fettuccine to warm saucepan; add half-and-half, margarine, and Parmesian cheese. Toss gently till fettuccine is well coated. Transfer to a warm serving dish. Sprinkle with pepper. Makes 4 side dish servings.

Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or broccoli if you wish! Hmm good!

Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.

Money Saving Tip

Keep an idea notebook in your pocket. I’ve wasted countless amounts of time and money simply because I’ve forgotten things in my head. Instead of relying on my memory, I keep a small notebook with me to jot down ideas and things I need to remember, then I check it regularly throughout the day. This keeps me from forgetting to pick up milk and having to backtrack ten miles, for starters.
