A prime example

I called a friend tonight and said,

"Guess what I'm making for dinner?"

She started listing off things and I chose an option from her list.

I HATE picking out what to make for dinner. My husband will eat anything, so it's not like my worries are rational, but I still seem to drive myself crazy trying to pick a menu. I have read the book "Confessions of an Organized Homemaker," and absolutely loved it.

Can I apply these tactics?

Minimally.

So tonight I chose chicken. But what to do with the chicken?

I decided on an Italian-style meal and started up a pot of pasta. I sliced the chicken into strips and stared at it.

I added Olive Oil. That sounded Italian.

I added Pesto seasoning. Definitely Italian.

I added bread crumbs. This is where I started to lose confidence.

I added sour cream. I had lost it.

At this point I looked down at my chicken mess and said,

I have no idea what I am doing.

I ended up adding diced tomatoes and to make a long story short -

We ate it. My husband said thanks. This is a prime example of why I follow the creativity of other people who actually know what they are doing.

Tomorrow: Cake Pops. Get Excited.

The Queen of Un-Original Thought

A million times a day I look at something and think:

WOW.

That is super cute.

I should try that.

Then I try it, and it doesn't even look remotely similar.

But I like it.

I like to try.

I will always post credit where credit is due.

Like I said, "Queen of Un-original Thought."

So here it goes.
