1,800 and something Days . . .

Our cherub, with her favorite baby in all the world; Gabby Grace


Today, our girl cherub turns 10!
It's been a Birthday-Palooza all weekend!

She has opened presents for 3 days straight!

Last night, she crawled into bed with us and said,
"In 12 hours I'll turn 10!"

"Oh baby, I know .  .  .won't that be fun!"  I said to her.

"Yeah.  But guess what, in 1,800 in something days, I'll be able to drive a car!"

"WHAT!"

"Yeah, mom.  Just doing some math in my head; in 6 years, that's  a little more than 1,800 days, I'll be driving!"

"OH MY WORD!  HAVE YOU TOLD YOUR DADDY THAT????"

"Yeah!"  my sweet, 9 year old cherub says . .  .

"MR!  Did you hear what she just said?"
"Uh huh.  I'm ignoring it!"

So goes the ways of the daddy!  The Mr. thinks if he ignores it -- maybe it won't happen!
But guess what!  She speaks the truth!
But, in my quiet place today, I got out the calculator to see if she's right!

Thank goodness, those were big numbers to multiply. . .

there are 2,190 days until she drives!

Whew!  I have a few extra days!

Our cherub, wearing some new birthday 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!

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
