Working on a cookbook

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 29 Mar

After a suggestion from @lilacskies, I decided to type up my recipes. I have hundreds of recipes from magazines and online, but I have a small recipe book that my granddaughter gave me years ago. So, I'm going to type up those and...

chocolate chip cookies!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 28 Mar

I made some chocolate chip cookies this afternoon (semi sweet chips and chopped pecans) and I think I ate too many. Or is there such a thing? Yeah, I'm afraid so. But they were just so good! I've about given...

Chipotle, anyone?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 28 Mar

Have you ever eaten at the Mexican fast food place Chipotle? Did you like it? We decided to try it. Wish we hadn't. Well, actually we didn't. We went in thinking it was kind of like a cafeteria of Mexican food. I thought there...

Dinner today, my way

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 28 Mar

For dinner (lunch) today I'm fixing fried rice with pieces of pork, carrots, broccoli, rice of course, water chestnuts if I have them in the pantry, and soy sauce. I'll also fry some chicken croquettes. That's probably about all,...

Fishy Wednesday

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 26 Mar

My cousin gave us some fresh white perch and catfish yesterday and we fried it today. He loves to fish and this is a great time of year for it. He suggested something that we decided to try. Dale marinated both kinds of fish in...

Eulogy, not obituary

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 26 Mar

I posted about writing my own obit which I still think is a good idea, but I realized I was actually thinking about writing my eulogy. They're two different things. So now I have two documents going. One is the names and dates...

I need some info concerning airports

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 22 Mar

I haven't flown in about four years when I went to our granddaughter's bridal brunch and spent the weekend with them. Dale and I are talking about flying to Arkansas this summer to see his relatives, the few that are left. We'll...

Writing your own eulogy?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 22 Mar

I read a suggestion for this on FB, I think. It says we should write our own eulogy before we die. Well, it would be rather difficult after we die. But I think it's a good idea. We can talk about people we love who made a...

A little poem that was a song....well, aren't they all?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 21 Mar

Many years ago, I took guitar lessons at our local community college. I had dreams of being a country music singer and wanted to be able to play a guitar. Well, it didn't take long to realize that I just wanted to be a guitar...

Fresh fish for dinner

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 21 Mar

A cousin gave us some catfish which Dale filleted and some herring. They were so yummy! I stewed some red potatoes and fried corn bread...only thing missing was sweet tea. Have you had herring? They're a very bony fish with lots...

Perfect spring day

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 19 Mar

It is absolutely beautiful here today. Temps in the low 70s, sunny, so nice out. I went to Walmart this morning and bought some groceries...sticker shock, of course. But at least there were eggs. Dale's been tractoring. He...

Catastrophe averted

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 18 Mar

We bought a new desk top computer at Christmas and it works well, but yesterday I had to log in and couldn't remember the pin number. I don't think we've had to use it since we bought it. Robert worked with me the majority of...

A dilemma

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 17 Mar

I wrote that Dale and I recently celebrated our 59th wedding anniversary. He gave me a beautiful small diamond ring when we got engaged. Then at the wedding, he gave me a lovely gold band. I've worn those rings for all these...

Our 30 year old grandson Josh is here for the weekend. It's wonderful to have him here! He lives about a hundred miles from us, so of course I've been cooking for two days, lol. I made two chocolate pies yesterday, have a...

birthday delay is a blessing

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 14 Mar

Dale will be 80 in May (I can't believe it!) and we planned to celebrate at our granddaughter's house in Charlotte. They just moved in, but the renovations won't be finished by then, so we'll wait until probably the summer. I was...

Yesterday was our 59th wedding anniversary. We drove to a city about an hour away, did a little shopping, then ate at our favorite Mexican restaurant, which was yummy. Came home, got a short nap (old people, lol), then got...

I'm furious with Burger King

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 11 Mar

Dale and I had doctors' appointments yesterday in Greenville. We haven't eaten at a Burger King in a really long time (they're rather unclean here), but we hoped this one in another town might be good. Wrong. We ordered a...

Fried potatoes, edited post

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (43126) • United States 6 Mar

I absolutely adore fried potatoes. Yes, I know some of you do, also. I like them fried at times with carrots, bacon, onion powder and topped with cheese and sour cream. They seem to take a long time to fry with breakfast, but I...
