Inside Game Day!

YEAH!  We've had another snow day! 

These are things we love about snow days!

  • No school (or homework) (This was from Jackson!)
  • Being with my parents (This was from MadisonGrace!)
  • Staying up late
  • Waking up without an alarm clock
  • Not prepared to do "big" projects at home
  • Playing games with family
  • No schedule
  • Having a break in the routine
  • P.J.'s
  • Watching the news to see our school scroll across the bottom
We are a game playing family and we have several that are our favorites!  But Krazy Bee Rummy is tops at our house!  This game has 14 steps and is easy to start and stop depending on what's going on.  It'll drive you crazy when you get stuck and you're lovin' it when you're the first to lay down and you skunk everyone else!  It's a game that causes a real "love/hate" relationship!  We've had this game for more than 25 years and a man from Midwest City, OK created it.  Last time I checked, you could still order it!  I'm posting the info just in case any of you are looking for a new game.  Some have told us this is like Phase 10 -- but I'm sure this is better -- this is Krazy Bee Rummy!

To order the game, contact B & B Games, Inc., P.O. Box 10361, Midwest City, OK 73140

I would have posted some pictures of what we did today -- but we're all in the same jammies from yesterday  . . .and the day before . . . and I didn't want you all to get confused about what day it is -- like I am!



OK -- so after I posted, we played another family fav; it's called "Wahoo!"  It's a dice and marble game and you move around a board and try to get in your home.  It would remind you of Trouble -- kind of, but way more fun because it's "Wahoo!"  Think how many times you can say that while playing the game!  It's an old game that's been around forever!  I know  there are real boards you can buy, but we have our board, thanks to my dad! 

One Christmas, my dad made "Wahoo" boards for everyone!  It was a perfect Christmas gift!  During December, I'd call home to talk to my parents and I'd ask my mom, "What's dad doin'?"  She'd say, "He's down in the shop makin' your Christmas present!"  It became a running joke that whole month!  I couldn't imagine what my dad was drummin' up for me that year . . .but I was thrilled to see a game board instead of a microwave cart, or something like that!  Now, that tells you how long ago my dad did this!  Anyway, the hours he spent making the boards have given us more fun than we can imagine!  Thanks, Dad!  I love you!

Our Wahoo board from dad!


YEAH!  Dad didn't roll a "2"

"Yes!"  We sent dad home!
Snowy days and games is where it's at!  Wahoo!

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!

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
