Re: Picture of the cutie bug and Blog substitute

Oh that's such a great picture!

I'm copying the blog email on this too so it should make it up there! You know, Mum, that is really cool putting the rind of the Reggiano in there. I've never seen that before. All of that stuff you made sounds wicked good. I'm going blog crazy lately, I'm thinking of starting a blog just to post the different stuff we cook at home. Then we could even refer back to it and maybe people will eventually start to find the recipes there that we post.

Come on Evan and Sabine...BLOG!!!    :)

Had to send this pic of Sammy in the fall. It's my wallpaper on my computer. So cootsie!!

 

I just went to blog and Blogger is down for maintenance!! Oh well.    I have been cooking more to save money and we certainly have not lacked in taste for sure!! I made homemade minestra (minestrone) last week which is nothing like store-bought. As you add each veggie to some oil and butter in a large pot, you saute it for three minutes then add the next one; onion, celery, carrot, potato, green bean, zucchini, shredded cabbage (for six mins). This sauteing makes all the difference in the taste. Then add 6 cups broth or stock, the rind from a 1-2 pound piece Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, cover, and simmer 3 hours. Fifteen minutes before finish, add can of drained beans; garbanzo or whatever. Then, take out the rind and serve soup with lots of grated cheese and crusty bread! Mmmm..mm!  Very filling!  Gave Gina some and she said it was "really good". Then I made crock-pot cut-up kielbasa with onions, peppers, potatoes and wine served with baguette. Then, crock-pot, ground turkey chili with kidney beans, garlic, peppers, onions and CORN BREAD (mix)!! Yummy too!  Hot food for cold days tastes so good. And the crockpot does all the work!! Just put the ingredients in in the morning and it's ready when you come home at night! We've been watching the Food Network a lot too.

 

That's all for now,

 

Love to everyone!!!

Raise This Thing FROM THE DEAD

HEAR YE, HEAR YE!!! I NOW PRONOUNCE THIS BLOG BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!

OK, there! It's back. Now we all have to start blogging again. I miss you all. Come on now, let's go!!!

Here's a start:

I've been really busy lately with trying to find a new job, trying to sell one of our apartments as condo (realeastate.ianrossi.com) , trying to start a cleaning business (which I don't think I'm going to do), conducting Bible studies and keeping up with my exercise.

We're also trying our hand at food criticking (yeah I made it up) through a new blog we created. | fantomfour.blogspot.com | We actually started it with Jorfdan and Lisa Keefe after we went out to Block 5 on Green Street. Sheri and Lisa started talking about how they'd love to be food critics and so we set up the new blog 5 minutes after we got home. Jordan and Lisa get credit for the name of the blog, though. We stole it a little from the Phantom Gourmet.

I heard recently that Jack Roso got asked to move to the Worcester West congregation. I know that Oxford must be really sad about that. But it's a good thing he's doing. I'm sure that West will be thrilled about it. All the Worcester congregation need some help at this point. They're all very small. But it takes awhile sometimes after a new congregation is formed for things to get back to the same strength.

So what's new in France? We're still really hoping we can come out, but with a new job on the horizon, it's still way up in the air. But we're looking up and hoping it will come down soon. We really miss you guys. We miss just hanging out and laughing and going out to eat together and stuff.

Gina has been banned from the blog ever since she lost her wireless Internet. Come back Gina!!! I know it's hard to always have to use the Internet at Ma and Pa's. Ma and Pa...you guys too!!! Come on back!!! We need to blog!!! We want to see pictures!!! We want to see latest goings on!!! We want to know what you ate for dinner!!...and how it all came out!!...and you can take that any way you want!!!! :D)

I'm glad to know that you guys (Evan and Sabine) are being successful at pioneering. It makes me happy and gives me confidence in my future as a pioneer as well. Keep going. You can do it!!!

I'm happy to see you guys (Ma and Pa) happy too. You seem to be doing really well. I'm sorry we keep putting off the painting, but I promise we'll get over there soon. Love you guys a lot!!! I think about you all the time.

Gina, I'm wicked proud of you too. You're holding so much together right now and I know it's hard, but, in the words Rob Schneider, "YOU CAN DO IT!" with Jehovah's help. I'm proud of you and I know Jehovah is too.

Hey and the next time we're all together we definitely have to make plans to take a BIG SHTINKIN FAMILY PICTURE because I really want to have something current that we can hang up. We really need to put some pictures up.

Hey EVSAB, what happend on that last post? Did you have writer's block? :D)

COME ON SAM!!!! BLOG!!! I know you can't type...but...FIND A WAY!!!

NEXT!!!
