I have 2 bags of grapes

I got free.  There's so many of

them I don't think they are getting

eaten fast enough before they go

bad.  I plan to remove them all

from their stems, put in a collander

and give a good cold rinse, place them

all in a single layer on a cookie sheet.

Then put in freezer. Once frozen, remove

and place inside a large ziploc bag.

Frozen grapes can be eaten as a cold

treat, placed in a fruity drink, water

or even a punch bowl at a party

as ice cubes or used in smoothies

or salads.

As an added treat once you wash them

you could roll them in sugar before

freezing.

I sprinkled the grapes with

Apriva, Kroger's brand of Splenda.

Breakfast-

Our favorite!

I've been making this for 

at least 10-11 years now.

Fry up a pound of sausage,

our favorite is Bob Evans

maple sausage.

You could add in a small chopped

onion and bell peppers if desired.

Once the sausage is browned you

can either leave the grease in the pan

or drain it.  If you drain it then

you need to add either butter,

oil or I have even used Italian

dressing to fry the potatoes with.

Gives it a good flavor!

I boiled up some potatoes last night

and refrigerated them.

This morning I peeled and

shredded them.  I used between

5-8 small to medium potatoes.

 Add the potatoes to the 

sausage.  Fry til golden brown.

In a small bowl whisk together

5 eggs and a little milk.

Pour this over top the potatoes & sausage.

Cook and stir til eggs are done.

Serve with shredded cheddar cheese

on top.

Hot sauce optional.

Where oh where did my little

blog go, oh where oh where 

could it be?

I have no idea what happened

to all the stuff I wrote about

earlier today went.  GRRRRR!

The auto draft save doesn't seem

to be working too well!

I looked and 90% of everything

I wrote earlier had disappeared!

So I'll have to do a quick recap.

Let's see how well my memory is!

-----------------------------------------

Went to the thrift store to 

drop off some donations.

Also went inside to pick up

Jonathan a few more pants

since he is going through a 

growth spurt.

$1.99 for each pair

also $1.99 for the shirt.

Since I cannot afford decorative

pictures I found some fabric

pillow shams to make some

decorative wall art out of.

I bought 2 large ones like

the one below for .99 cents each.

And a smaller sham for .59 cents.

Supper tonight will

be pork chops.

I put the bag of seasoned croutons

along with a handful of crispy

fried onions in the food processor.

I dipped the chops in Italian

dressing then into the crumb mixture.

I have 5 leftover boiled potatoes from

breakfast.  I cut each one in half

and have them warming in the

oven along side the pork chops.

I plan to use sour cream spinach

dip on the tops of the potatoes.

Like my idea of using a mini

muffin tin to hold the potatoes in the

oven, LOL.  It was handy so that's

what I used.

I got three pairs of Jonathan's

pants turned into shorts.

These were pants of his that

still fit good around the waist

but was getting too short.

First I used another pair

of his shorts to determine the length.

I cut it a little longer to add

for hem allowance.

Then instead of dragging out

all my sewing stuff I used 

clothes pins to hold the hem

while I sewed it.

I have clothes pins readily 

available in my kitchen utensil

drawer since I use them for bags

and chips.
