i said i was gonna get back on this and right away i skipped sunday. if it's any consolation for not reading my super happy blog, or seeing my wonderful smiling face, i didn't have anything to share. i worked a whole lot since i've been the boss at my store. yeahh buddy.
BUT, to make up for it, i made cheddar broccoli soup today!
how neat is that?! ☻☺☻☺☻
it is definitely the time of year for soup. its just getting chilly, the leaves are blowing, its NOT summer anymore....you know what i mean. fall, to me, means time for soup, spices, and warm things. happiness and comfort.
this is my favorite (and only) recipe that i have used for cheddar broccoli soup from peas and crayons. it's pretty easy, versatile (you can add more veggies and cheese if desired), and just damn delicious. like, she doesn't call it a panera knock off for nothing. best of all, its all real food, no processed anything, so it's not exactly terrible for you, either! i had this done in about an hour and a half or so this afternoon.
and then of course, it was time to sample! look at how adorably delicious this looks in one of my tiny tea cups!? it's like a soup shot! except that might not go over well, i mean choking on the veggies, and it being hot and all. yeah. vegetables do not belong in your lungs. bad idea. i take back anything i said about soup shots.
i've been waiting to go apple picking soon, too. not that i eat tons of them, (i am namely a fan of apple muffins), but i will probably make applesauce, a pie, and maybe blueberry apple crisp for anyone else. oh! i made these awesome peanut butter apple cookies, too! i liked them a lot. i've been looking for an excuse to make cookies, too. yeah buddy.
i have to stop being poor first though. ron and i are trying to save a little money for our anniversary weekend next month, we are going to the outer banks for a couple of days, and will probably stop in virginia beach for a day to check it out. we always drive through, sometimes stop for food (since, after all, theres a cheesecake factory there), but never for more than a couple hours.
look at it! those dumb puffy cheeks....i wanna squeeeeeeeze him all day long. even when he bites me and leaves holes in my hand. don't care. totally worth squeezing and torturing him (and by torture i mean love torture, kisses, laying him on his back, not letting him get away from my clutches...).
so yeah. i may also post some of my game hair bows on facebook soon just to try to make a couple extra dollars. i have so many lanyards, and so many hair bows....they're fun to make too. not to mention i can share my love of games with people, AND you won't really find them anywhere else because how many people get wads of free lanyards for video games from work? not many! so keep an eye out. i will post pictures, and am willing to ship!
as much as i love working, i am somewhat hoping i can have a day or two in the next couple weeks to chill and not have to worry about stuff. don't get me wrong, i should have this saturday and (mostly?) sunday off, ron and i are going to his niece's game saturday, and i am actually going to see some friends sunday (gasp! i know, right?). then , the following saturday, i will say my goodbyes to everyone i know, as i am about to run a 5k! it's an inflatable obstacle course 5k, so it will totally be worth it if i don't make it out alive. right? i would rather be beaten or smothered by an inflatable slide or something, than be gummed to death by old people or something horrifying like that.
so in other less exciting news, ron brought me lunch yesterday because i had to work at 10 hour day. we have like 3 people that work, so if someone calls out, it gets kind of crazy. but anyway, we sat outside the door on the curb, ate soup, and proceeded to gather a cluster of seagulls with oyster crackers. they battled to the death (almost), cars drove by slowly and beeped at them, and then they would wait, and when we ran out they just stood and stared, all of their heads cocked slightly, with this quizzical look. sorry seagulls, you had enough crackers. there's a mcdonalds across the parking lot.
le sigh. well, i still have to work tonight. i hope it goes by somewhat quickly. i am thinking about some more blueberry muffins tomorrow morning, since i only work the restaurant again. someday soon, i want to make these maple bacon breakfast cheesecakes. not only do i love bacon, but i also love cheesecake AND breakfast. my mind pretty much exploded when i saw these on pinterest. maple is like a fall thing too, right? close enough. i leave you with this neat picture i took at work last weekend, the clouds and the sun looked really neat, so that was pretty much all for that. i should really be back on track this sunday, i will do my best not to skip anymore!! thanks for reading! ☺
