Depressed

We started out to the VA yesterday for my MRI. We got to Mableton and were stopped by police cars and fire trucks.  We had seen huge plumes of black smoke and saw the flames at a strip mall and shop close to the road.  We were turned back.

Okay, we leave early enough to get around problems like this or get a bite to eat if we're early.  Turn around, catch a cross road and hit interstate 20.  Got past Six Flags and hit stop-n-go traffic. WTH?

It took us 40 minutes to go 1/4 of a mile! WTH? 

The Georgia DOT thinks it's a grand idea to funnel FOUR lanes of traffic into ONE - both ways and that includes 3 onramps feeding more traffic in.  After 45 minutes of that we knew there was no way we'd make it to the VA even an hour late.

This is the FOURTH time this hasn't gone through for the MRI!

I was set to go and willing to do it, darn it

paprika bendl - Paprika Chicken

My speciality. I found this recipe in an unusual book in my senior year in highschool and we gave it a try. I've adapted it over the years (reducing the paprika so we aren't reaching for a pitcher of water or milk like Jonathan Harker was). This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

Becoming Mom - part whatever

Okay, instead of hand sewing something as I normally would, I used the machine. The design works, the stuff for the project doesn't.  We need bigger pipe insulation. We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
