I don't have time to try out all the recipes I've been seeing posted by friends lately. So, when I see one I may want to try in the future, I'm posting it here so I don't lose it or forget about it. This one looks cheap and easy, maybe I can even con my 12 year old daughter into testing this one out...

Ingredients
1 lb. sausage (pork or turkey)
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
2 packages crescent rolls
Dash salt & ground black pepper
Directions
In a saute pan, brown sausage; drain. Add a dash of salt and pepper. Blend in cream cheese until the cream cheese is melted.
Unroll one package of crescent rolls and place on a baking sheet. With your fingers, gently press the seams together to seal them. Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border along the edges.
Unroll the remaining package of crescent rolls and place on top of the sausage mixture. Press the edges together to seal. Gently press the seams together.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until crescent roll dough is golden brown.
Cut into small squares and serve. (A pizza cutter makes really quick and easy work of the cutting.).

Enjoy!

Well heck, I ran across another nifty idea I want to remember... So, here's another interesting project on my list...

Just cut the top off of an empty salt container, take a canning flat and draw a circle around on the top with the spout on the side... Cut it out, put inside a canning ring, and screw on mason jar... How cool is that?

A friend posted this recipe and I don't have the ingredients or time to do it today, but I don't want to lose the recipe. What better place to keep it than right here? 

STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE COBBLER!!!! 

 Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler

1 stick ( 1/2 cup) butter

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 cup milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 quarts whole strawberries, capped and washed

4 ounces cream cheese, cut in small pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter and pour into a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together the egg, milk, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour directly over the butter in the baking dish, but do not stir.

Add the strawberries, arranging in a single layer as much as possible. Sprinkle cream cheese pieces over strawberries. Place in preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until top is golden brown and edges are bubbling. (Crust rises up and around the fruit, but fruit will still peek out of top.)

I've seen these little cups forever and never knew this...
All these years, when we ate out... We used three or four because they were so freaking small...
Then, I saw this picture the other day...
I've never seen anyone use them that way before...
It's so damn simple it just never caught on with most of us...
Now I wonder what other simple things I'm missing?
Who'd a thunk those things get bigger? 

New Years Resloutions...

1. I will stop leaving my dirty socks lying in the middle of the floor. I'll leave them on the kitchen table, where they're easier to find.
2. I will stop boring my boss with the same ole lame excuse when I call in sick. This year I'm gonna think of better excuses than I got the runs..
3. I'm gonna stop sitting around in my tee shirt and panties on Saturday morning while drinking my coffee and playing on the puter... For now on.. I'll take my puter into the bedroom until I decide to get dressed.
4. I'll try and quit blaming the dog every time I fart.
5. I will never ever... feed the dogs leftover beans again.. OK, so sometimes it is them who farts..
6. I'll stop pretending it isn't time to take the garbage out by repeatedly smashing it down 'til my arms ache.
7. I'll stop hitting the snooze button repeatedly in the morning.. For now on, I'm going to set three different alarms.
8. I will no longer sit at the computer all the time.... I will try to stand while I type for at least thirty minutes a day.
9. I will never again light a cigarette right after spraying my hair down with hair spray. Wonder how long it takes for eyebrows to grow back???
  Well.. What did you expect? You didn't really think I was gonna make some resolutions i coudn't keep... did ya?

Thanksgiving Dinner Rules

            10 RULES FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER AT MY HOUSE

1. Don't get in line asking questions about the food. "Who made the potato salad? Is it egg in

there? Are the greens fresh? Is the meat in the greens turkey or pork? Who made the macaroni and cheese? What kind of pie is that? Who made it?" Ask one more question and I will punch you in your mouth, knocking out all your fronts so you won't be able to eat anything.
2. If you can't walk or are missing any limbs, sit your butt down until someone makes your plate for you. Dinner time is not the time for you to be independent. Nibble on them damn pecans and walnuts to hold you over until someone makes you a plate.
3. If you have kids under the age of twelve, I will escort their little butts to the basement and bring their food down to them. They are not gonna tear my house up this year. Tell them that they are not allowed upstairs until it's time for Uncle Butch to start telling family stories about their mamas and papas. If they come upstairs for any reason except that they are bleeding to death, I will break a foot off in their butts!
4. There is going to be one prayer for Thanksgiving dinner! JUST ONE! We do not care that you are thankful that your 13 year old daughter gave birth to a healthy baby or your nephew just got out of jail. Save that talk for somebody who gives a damn. The time limit for the prayer is one minute. If you are still talking after that one minute is up, you will feel something hard come across your lips and they will be swollen for approximately 20 minutes.
5. Finish everything on your plate before you go up for seconds! If you don't, you will be cursed out and asked to stay your greedy ass home next year!
6. BRING YOUR OWN TUPPERWARE!! Don't let me catch you fixing yourself a plate in my good Tupperware knowing damn well that I will never see it again! Furthermore, if you didn't bring anything over, don't let me catch you making a plate period or it will be a misunderstanding.
7. What you came with is what you should leave with!! Do not leave my house with anything that doesn't belong to you. EVERYBODY WILL BE SUBJECTED TO A BODY SEARCH COMING AND GOING OUT OF MY DOMAIN!!!
8. Do not leave your kids so you can go hopping from house to house. This is not a DAYCARE CENTER! There will be a kid-parent roll call every ten minutes. Any parent that is not present at the time of roll call, your child will be put outside until you come and get him or her. After 24 hours, I will call DHS on your ignorant ass!!
9. BOOK YOUR HOTEL ROOM BEFORE YOU COME INTO TOWN!! There will be no sleeping over at my house! You are to come and eat dinner and take your ass home or to your hotel room. EVERYBODY GETS KICKED THE HELL OUT AT 11:00 pm. You will get a 15 minute warning bell.
10. Last but not least! ONE PLATE PER PERSON!! This is not a soup kitchen. I am not trying to feed your family until Christmas dinner! You will be supervised when you fix your plate. Anything over the appropriate amount will be charged to you before you leave. There will be a cash register at the door. Thanks to Cousin Alfred and his greedy family, we now have a credit card machine! So VISA and MASTERCARD are now being accepted. NO FOOD STAMPS OR ACCESS CARDS YET!
