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!

"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...
