Remember that post I made pre-sabbatical? It was the one talking about Mum’s and My ultimate appetizer idea that I wasn’t allowed to post the recipe to. For some reason that night, we tried to take an already perfect appetizer and then make it even better, by adding the pastry from another appetizer that we like so much (tomato bacon cups… yum!). Well, I found another variation for the recipe. This one, I’m allowed to post because it’s my own doing.

After dining out for a majority of the weekend, I made chicken with red beans and rice for dinner. This was a welcome change, as I wasn’t sure what we had in the house to facilitate any cooking. It was slightly cooler than it had been all week (it’s been hot and muggy here all week and that just makes any kind of cooking in an un air conditioned kitchen dreadful) so I had no problems going with a warm dish. At my disposal were a box of red beans and rice, a can of whole green chilies, canned tomato sauce, salsa, and garlic.

After a hearty breakfast Friday morning, I offered my help in my Aunt’s kitchen wherever I was needed. I learned how to cut and pit a honeydew (pitting was fun, just pulled the seeds out with my hands. It reminded me of pitting a pumpkin), helped assemble a huge fruit salad, and then made the buffalo chicken dip.

Since Josh and I couldn’t hang out yesterday, I’d mentioned that I’d gladly come over and make a big breakfast for us today. Some waffles, French toast, sausage, eggs, you get the idea.

Yesterday, I had to do some cooking and didn’t exactly have the most time to do so. Josh and I went to the grocer and I only picked up three things. Orange soda (which will play no part in this post), chicken breasts and Mexican blend cheese.
