~*~GOODMORNING ALL SAHW**COME ON IN AND CHAT WITH US AWHILE~*~

Goodmorning ladies....well its going to be a beautiful day today and I have a few errands to run for DH and as always check the mailand I do have to go to the bank..

oh I wanted to tell you all that my coconut shrimp turned out fantastic...oh my goodness this one is a killer and a keeper, I will post my recipe when I come back, I might even post it on the board too it is so good...

Well my chickens are calling me so I shall return..

Have a great day everyone...

Pam

morning... 

Mornin sunshine.

Goodmorning Viki and Cookie and Char...

Viki I know you told me your going to be busy for awhile and I know you love having your family come and visit you and DH...well you have a wonderful day..

Cookie..hmmmmmm not a morning person eh?? well maybe we need to do something about that!!!! LOL

My DH and DS are getting so excited...they are leaving Friday morning very very early so they can get down to San Pedro Harbor to catch the shuttle boat to go over to Emererald Bay...(DH calls it poor mans hawaii)..the 2 of them havent been able to go together for a very long time and the last time they planned it we couldnt afford it, something else came up..but not this time..they will probably go snorkling and our friend Brian will take them out on his big Bertram boat and take them fishing, they love deep sea fishing so much, and just to get away to such a beautiful place and relax is just the ticket for the bothe of them.....

Well I think I am going to go outside and water my flowers, boy you should see all of them they are georgous...snapdragons bright lemon yellow and deep red and bright pink and they come to my hip, and then my DS got me a few more to go into my garden and I planted them yesterday...so I think they need a drink so I am off and then a shower and then to town..

BBL all...

Good Morning Ladies!  Well it's garage sale week so i have been busy getting everything together.  I cannot wait to get this stuff out of the dining room.  I just finished making some potato salad for dinner tonight.  We are having rootbeer bbq chicken, potato salad, baked beans and who knows what else.  It is tuesday which means my sis will be here for dinner.  my potato salad recipe calls for tossing the potatoes with pickle juice and the only pickles i had were chipotle pickles.  It gives it a nice kick.  I hope there's some left for dinner because i keep going in there and getting me a little. LOL  I ran down to the gas station because i heard they were changing the gas prices.  It was $3.66/gallon and by the time i left the gas station is was $3.96!!!!  I just made it.  Hope everyone has a great tuesday

Good Morning Everyone, missed you yesterday seems like you just disapered. Vickie sounds like a fun time I love having relatives come  and visit as long as they don't stay toooo long. LOL

Pam what are you going to do while the boys are away playing?

BB we are getting $4.33 agal right now, have another load due in tomorrow, all we can do is hope we don't have to raise it agian. Two weeks ago our price was $3.90. DH says it will be $5.00 a gal by the end of the year. 

Got the laundry started and plan to have fish for dinner( talapia) just don't know how I'm going to fix it. Any ideas? BBL Marion

Pam this is for you

actually i am a morning person...  i just honestly couldnt think of anything exciting to say!!

well the kid is done school for the day, and actually will be done for the year by the first week of june (we just have a week or two extra after that for math, since we got such a late start on that this year... circumstances beyond my control)  so she'll get a couple of weeks off and then i think we are moving right along to the next year's work, just knocking it back to three or four days a week. going a  little slower but all year.. i think that will work just nicely for all  of us.  not to mention that if we start now, then we can take longer breaks at the holidays if we want...

today is looking mild, so am contemplating going outside and trying to do some gardening.  i desperately want to put some plants in the ground, but we have never had a may long where it didnt snow, so i'm too afraid!  hate seeing money go down the drain.  so instead i think that the plants i have will have a day outside today, and i will just have to keep bringing them in at night. 

HA! must be nice to have gas prices at that still.... we are paying 4.80 a gallon for diesel, and i think that gas is floating between 4.68  and  4.76.  (and that was last weeks price for diesel! i'm sure it has gone up by now..)  thats a climb from 4.27 a gallon at the beginning of last month.  i wont even tell you what my fuel bill was when i opened it.  actually i had my husband open it first--- i was too chicken!

oh oh marion... i tried something new last week for my fish, and i really like it--- the recipe was to poach the fish (in a frying pan) ontop of some orange slices.  slice the oranges, place in pan, place fish on top, season the fish with salt and pepper (or whatever you want, i used lemon pepper, and some chilis)  turn heat to med-high, when oranges start to sizzle fill pan with water to top of oranges, cover and simmer until fish is cooked.  serve the fish, and drizzle the remaining juice from the pan overtop. (not much juice, but concentrated flavor!)   i had to add a little extra water, but then i think i overcooked my fish too--- i am always afraid of undercooking!  

anyhow this worked out really really good!  even my kids liked it, and sometimes you have to work at convincing them to eat fish, but not this time.  i figure this would work just as well with lemons, or with lemon/salmon.  really it is all in the techinque not the actual ingredients.  anyhow, worked for me, loved how it tasted. 

c_oo_kie:

loved how it tasted.

Cookie sounds good, I'm always looking for new ways to cook fish. I have some oranges but DH is going to town may have him pick up some lemons. I think it should only take about 20 min. to cook. I'll cook rice to go with it. Thanks alot will let you know how we liked it. Marion

Marion thanks for the recipe....looks good..

Well here is my recipe for my coconut shrimp I made last night..

Now mind you all I dont measure ingredients....

COCONUT SHRIMP

shrimp

seasoned bread crumbs

flour

coconut

3 eggs...beaten

paula deens house seasoning

oil for deep frying shrimp

Place eggs into a dish and beat well, then pour your bread crumbs and flour and coconut into another dish....dip shrimp into egg and then coconut mixture and drop carefully into oil (oil should be 350 to deep fry) let fry until golden brown and take out onto a paper towel lined dish and season with a little bit of paula deens house seasoning.......

This was so so good, my DD made it and I had to try it to see if it was any good and boy it sure is...

Pam the shrimp sounds good just saved it, I use Paula's house seasoning for everything I love it. Waiting for DH to come back with the milk and bread so may have to jump up and run LOL

Would love to come sit and swing with you maybe someday Gotta go Marion

Marion let me know if and when you try the recipe...and wouldnt that be something to have you sitting with me on my swing???

Have a nice evening all....
