    Good morning lurkers :wub:

    Well…..they were cooked and tasted good, who doesn’t love potatoes? However the only real crispy parts were the stuck on bits that I had to scrape off the pan……and there were a lot of bits….every time I tried to move them around, they stuck. I had plenty of butter and olive oil in there but these pans run hot. I’ve never made them before and I assumed *wrong* that with all the fat, we’d be ok. :facepalm::laugh:

    Uggg….the only good thing about Sunday are your breakfasts and quotes, Dale :wub: But…5 days and then I’m off for 5 so, bring it! :lol:

    Yep, the recipe called for 3 russet potatoes and 3 tablespoons of butter. I doubled the recipe and added olive oil.

    Woot!! Lots to celebrate this coming week. Dh turns 50 and we celebrate our 18th anniversary. :shock:
    Weird :?:

    Aw congratulations to you both :)

    What day is DH’s birthday? Mines the 17 th but I’ll be 63 and not celebrating :laugh:

    15th, and you should definitely be celebrating!! Happy early birthday!!

    Lol! Everything’s better with butter, Dale ;) Course it’s not healthy but very tasty.

    I pan fry my italian sausages in butter too, with olive oil. That’s what’s for dinner tonight. Mom and Dad are coming.

    Enjoy your evening with your mom and dad :)

    Hey all. I have been busy. I had an absolutely fantastic weekend. I ended up not seeing him Friday night since he had to work but he did take me out Saturday.

    I have never been downtown at night and I had no idea there was so much activity. I am pretty sure I would not want to go down there alone but it was fun. Lots of people. That is where we ate too.

    Sunday he got me to eat breakfast. I had a delicious waffle. I can't remember the last time I ate breakfast. Then we went to hear a band at a bar in a closeby city. First time I have been on his motorcycle. My cousin had given me a helmet but it wobbled. I am going to have to buy myself a size small.
    Let me tell you at first I was holding on pretty darn tight. He does not have a seat for a passenger so I was sitting on the fender which by the way is HARD! heehee

    There is no backrest so I was a little concerned but it was not nearly as bad as I thought it might be. One thing about it, you could hear us. It is an extremely loud cycle which is okay with me.

    Got the yard done today since I am leaving tomorrow. I swear, I am getting pretty darn good. My lines looked awesome.

    I still have to pack and I am not sure how much to take. I seem to have a tendency to overpack. I will be gone for 5 night and I am really looking forward to it. I am packin' and taking enough money just in case but I have a good feeling.

    I will try to use my phone to post a little while I am gone but I have never had much luck with it. I miss Tapatalk.

    Too excited to sleep. I feel like a little kid and I'm already thinking, "Are we there yet?" heehee

    This is just very exciting for someone that has never done much.

    I have everything laid out so now I am going to try to only pack half of it. And I know I will end up forgetting something. Isn't that normal? I wish I did not over think things so much. I need to work on that.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day. I'm already missin' y'all.

    However…..I don’t like the idea of you sitting on the fender of the bike :( with a wobbly helmet to boot!
    I concur!

    The old me would have never ridden that way. The new me says what the heck, go for it. Sunday night my friend sent me a text because there was a motorcycle accident in front of her land. I am a firm believer in listening to "signs". I think maybe that was telling me something.

    I have never been in a motorcycle accident but my son was. It was close to our house. That is awful to see your son (or anyone) on a gurney in a neck brace. It was funny though because I beat the ambulance to the hospital. He was extremely lucky and just had road rash. The nurse was pregnant and was getting a little queazy so I finished picking it out for her. She was quite grateful. She said I did an excellent job.

    Good morning Rat2 and Sara :wub:
    Thank you for the birthday wishes Rat2 :) You have a wonderful trip and be safe. Don’t forget to take your mad money, never know when you’ll need it. Back in the day that was a dime for a phone call home now days I haven’t a clue :laugh: Enough for a bus ticket maybe?
