so much to do, so little time

where to start? the time has flown by since the last time ive posted. so many things have happened since then i dont know where to begin. Eric and I moved in early december to our new house. i LOVE it! its kind of a change though. we were living in a pretty popular area before the move and, well, now not so much. we moved down the street from there the 17th street canal broker in katrina. you know, this place...... lovely isnt it? the whole place is completely renovated, however, we are one of the only houses on the street. so its like living in the middle of nowhere. what else?? we got a dog...two in fact. a border collie and an australian shepherd.

they are my babies, but they are such a handful! two herding dogs in one house...its crazy! the baby is getting so big! she is speaking so well and we have begun potty training, which isnt going so well. Her birthday is coming up in april and i cannot believe that she is going to be two already! I have begun looking for a job again. I love being a stay at home mom, but to be honest, im getting bored. i want to be back at work and have "adult time" so bad. before i go, i have a recipe to share with the world.

Coq Au Vin (said coke au van)

  • 1lb skinned chicken thighs
  • 1 packet of beefy onion soup
  • 1.5 cups of frozen small onions
  • 2 cups of button or wild mushrooms
  • .5 cup of red cooking wine

brown thighs in skillet. add chicken, soup packet, mushrooms, onions, and wine to slow cooker. cook on low for 5-6 hours serve over mashed potatoes, sprinkle with parsley or basil, and add a side of french bread. enjoy! and there you have it... until next time!

Oh wow! We saw a lot of footage of Katrina and New Orleans in Australia. I hope they keep the sea walls in better repair this time!

Your dogs are gorgeous :-)
