Sami's Party Hint ~ Recipes for Leftovers ~ Mulled Wine


Good 42º cloudy with prospects of rain morning.


Yesterday was Sami's 5th birthday and Jen did a spectacular job on the party, as usual!
Pictures to follow .... probably a Smilebox. The theme was horses and Jen hired two ladies with a Shetland pony and a miniature pony for the kids to ride. They love it! Jen made stick ponies for all the kids, had certificates of adoption for each pony and child and they had a pony obstacle course! Also a horseshoe pinata! So, stand by for that. Will take me a while to organize the photos! AND, rain was predicted ... a storm moving in from the coast, but it didn't rain!!! Yeah! Well, until late last night!


For the past few days I have played with the leftovers I had from the couscous and vegetables.

 

I had some fake crab and sweet peppers....

 

So I cut up the peppers and sauteéd them with the fake crab, added the coucous veggie mix

 

and it was AWESOMELY good!!

 


THEN..... yesterday I took the leftovers of that and heated it, adding in some chicken stock, mushrooms, seasonings.... and had soup!

 

OMGOOD!!!!!

Tonight a new series starts... Red Widow. Read before you watch...
 
Also that new series, The Bible, with Roma Downey starts tonight too, I think.
All I know. Nuff said. The Bruise is watching me... (front paws crossed) ...
Then I set some wiring, ethernet cable, etc on the table and he thought they were toys for him. Bored with that so nap time!
 
 
 
Happy Sunday. Ciao.

Sue,
So looking forward to the Smilebox of Sami's bdy party. As I always say, Jen needs to have her own business as a party planner. I have never seen such a talented mom!
Me? All I ever did was order pizza, chips, drinks and a cake for the boys swimming bday parties.

You sure do know how to make a meal stretch!! Some folks are just so talented!!

Love the pics of Bruiser. He is probably the prettiest kitty I have every seen. Such a love.

XOXO Trisha

Thanks T, I hope Jen does start her party business, it would be awesome. As for streaching meals, I will have to blog a recipe I found for soup using leftover potato salad. Sounded GREAT! The Bruise is a real love, for sure. xo
