No Stains on these Pants

Confession:  if it's supposed to be white -- then I want it white.
  • Baseball pants
  • Peter Pan Collared school shirt
  • Tights
  • Napkins
  • Jerseys
You get what I'm saying and some of you feel my pain.

So, let's talk baseball pants.  I love my boy cherub playing ball.  The uniforms are cute -- a little red jersey, white pants, and striped socks. 

"It's all about the uniform," I remind him.  "Lookin' cute on the field is part of the gig!"

He doesn't go for it.

It's only a good game if we can steal bases and slide as much as possible.

We have men coaches.

They picked white pants.

Sliding and white pants don't really go together in my book.

Sliding in white pants makes for brown and green stains.

That sends this momma into laundry turmoil.

Dah-Dah-Dah-Dah! 

I have discovered THE secret for laundry enthusiasts everywhere!

See the picture below?

Get a bottle of this and use it as quickly as possible.

Save the bottle.

See the picture below?




Fill the blue bottle above with this stuff.

This stuff is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. at removing stains.

Spray this on all our stains the minute your cherubs dump their clothes in the floor.

Spray!
Spray!
Spray!
Spray!
Act like it's cheat and totally cover every last loving drop of the stain.

Fold up your soaked clothes and throw them in the laundry hamper.

Let it sit.

And sit.
And sit.

As in, let it sit for days!

Then, once it is done sitting, you wash it just like normal.

If you're really adventurous, throw in a scoop of this stuff.  You'll be doubly amazed!

For the record, I have doing a lot of laundry this very way -- and haven't ruined anything yet.  Not to say I won't -- but as for now, this is how I encourage my neurotic need for stain free white clothes!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken;  cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

Creamy Poblano Chicken Dinner

Picture used from "My Recipes.com" My picture didn't look nearly as appetizing! We've been eating this since the late 90's. Oh man!  That sounds like we're really old! This is one of those fantastic Southern Living Recipes that looks really hard, sounds really gourmet-ish, and is so easy! Whenever the Mr. requests his birthday dinner, it's always this meal! He had his 43rd birthday yesterday! To go along with his new "older" age, we recently counted the number of doctors he has. Yes, doctors! Right now in life, it's not his social outlet to visit these physicians on a regular basis . .  .but none-the-less, he has a well-rounded network of doctors that can take care of any need of his, ranging from his head to his toes. What a treat it is to get older. But with getting older comes this meal! Serve this with a green salad and dessert and you'll be the hit of the party! Creamy Poblano Chi
