An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating,
the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to
a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very
highly.'
The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?'
The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What’s the name of
that flower you give to someone you love? You know, the one that's red
and has thorns.'
'Do you mean a rose?'
'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the
kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last
night?'

Write It Down
A couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things.
During a check-up, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but
they might want to start writing things down to help them remember.
Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair.
'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.
'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'
'Sure.'
'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.
'No, I can remember it.'
'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it
down, so as not to forget it?'
He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with
strawberries.'
'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down.'
Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream
with strawberries and whipped cream. I got it, for goodness sake!'
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, the old man
returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment. 'Where's my toast?'

Cheese
My family is a family of cheese heads! Now this isn't because we live in Wisconsin or because we are Green Bay Packers fans. This is because we literally eat a ton of cheese. Ok, not really a TON, but a whole lot!
We use shredded cheese for SO many things in our house:
on tacos
on nachos
on burritos
on quesadillas
on enchiladas
on salads
on baked potatoes
on potato soup
on scrambled eggs
And my kids even eat shredded cheese all by itself. As a kid growing up, we used to take a slice of bread and bake it with shredded cheese on it. I've done this as an adult too.
I think the all time favorite cheese in our house would have to be colby jack cheese slices. My kids LOVE this kind of cheese the most. A lot of times when we go grocery shopping my daughter will ask if we can buy some.
Now don't forget some of the other popular cheeses too:
sliced American cheese which is GREAT for plain grilled cheese sandwiches and grilled ham/cheese or turkey/cheese sandwiches
parmesan cheese that makes all those pasta meals taste that much better
and cottage cheese which isn't necessarily in the same "cheese" family as all the others but still has cheese in the name and my kids eat A LOT of it as well. My grandma basically buys cottage cheese for her house just for my kids to eat when we come over for supper. They love it SO much!
As you can see, you probably agree we are cheese heads! Are you a cheese head too?

Snowing Outside
Crazy, CRAZY weather we are having here! Yesterday it was nearly 70 degrees and today it is snowing!
I just told my son that it was snowing outside. I pulled up the mini blind so he could look out the window at the snow.
He climbed up on the couch and looked out. It was pretty cute what he did next.
He said, "Mommy, it's Christmas!"
Too funny how even at that age he associated snow with Christmas. Ahhh, those fun, sweet toddler moments!

Potato Soup
Mmmmm.......potato soup! Doesn't that bowl of soup just look SO yummy! That was my lunch today and boy howdy was it DEEEEEELICIOUS!
I've liked potato soup for as long as I can remember. My grandma's was my favorite but now my hubby's mom has me spoiled with a new way to enjoy it.
Grandma's potato soup was always the good ol' fashion way: potatoes, onions, milk, and butter. Add some salt and pepper to it, then enjoy.
Hubby's mom made potato soup one time when we were visiting and now it's about the only way I like my potato soup. She made hers similar to grandma's, only she put in a bit of flour to make it a tad thicker. She also had some great tasting toppings to put on it. This is the way she was served potato soup in a restaurant so she decided to do it at home as well. Man, do those toppings add some flavor!
As you can see in the picture, the toppings include shredded cheese, bacon bits, and green onions along with some salt and pepper. Oh so very yummy! So who's in the mood for potato soup now?
