I'm doing this post because I found a website that I think I may really like, but I don't have the time to investigate it.
I'm using this as a way to remember to visit http://www.eatingoutloud.com/ .
The writer hasn't posted in a bit, but I still wanna check it out.

should she?
So this is a post for opinions people.
Backstory:
My coworker says "I don't feel well" first thing as I walk into the room. I told her to join the crowd (b/c everyone feels bad all the time around here). She's been up all night visiting the toilet king and supposedly continues to do so here at school and is just giving him liquid. Before I can even ask what's wrong she proceeds to tell me "We went to the fair last night and I ate a bunch of 'dirty' food". I said wait a minute I gotta hear this. She ate: a foot long corn dog, a foot long polish sausage, a large order of smothered fries (chili, cheese, ranch, and onions and possibly bacon), a candy apple, and some of her mom's roasted corn on the cob. WELL OF COURSE YOU DA, you're going to feel bad, that's a whole lot of grease and junk to put into one person's stomach! Just listening to her talk about it made me a tad bit queasy.
OPINION TIME:
She wants to go home at 1:00 b/c she's queasy/sick. Should she be allowed?
IMO
I don't think so, she's the one who at all that crap. It's her own fault she's sick. If she gets to go home then by golly I'm gonna get s#!+faced and call out saying that I'm sick. It's the same concept, you ate it, you deal with it.
I'm out, let me know what ya think.
UPDATE
She did not get to go home! I said something to the AD and she felt the same as I.

Stuffed Chicken
So last week I had my DH go to the store and pick me up some stuff to make broccoli slaw for a gathering at the preschool. Well Costco let me down, they didn't have the kit!
Instead I attempted to make it from scratch. So my DH bought two three pound bags of broccoli florets. Mind you I told him to; but then again I was on the phone and had no clue how big the bags were or how much broccoli that was. Just for anyone who is curious three pounds of FLORETS is A LOT. I guess they weigh less than the bunch which has a stem attached so it takes quite a bit more.
So I only needed one three pound bag to make a monster bowl of broccoli slaw (which looked like stage 3 baby food btw, I really wish I had that kit) which left me with three pounds of fresh broccoli florets.
What on earth am I going to do with that much broccoli? DH's first suggestion is to make broccoli and cheddar soup. I'm okay with that, except I need to find a "healthy" version considering cheese is way fattening. So I'm on the hunt for it, until then we will probably freeze a lot of the broccoli and use it when I find the recipe.
Well while looking at recipes I came across one that was broccoli and stuffing stuffed chicken breast. I also realized that my DH LOVES chicken, broccoli, and rice casserole, so I called my dad to help me mix the recipes.
DUH, why didn't I think of what he suggested? All I could think of was broccoli stuffed breasts over rice, but how on earth do I cook rice in the oven? I really wanted the chicken juices to flavor the rice. After talking it over with my dad I ended up making broccoli and rice stuffed chicken breasts.

Dont' they look inviting? DH's is the one on top, which is strange because he had way more stuff stuffed inside, yet mine (on the bottom) looks like a monster compared to his. For anyone curious on a WW scale mine was only 7 points for the whole thing! His was more like 11 or 12 points.

why you?
you gotta have attitude with me?
I know that sounds "ghetto", but seriously! I asked my co teacher a question this morning and her response was "do you see him?". Of course not or I wouldn't have asked!
She's irked because she has to be alone in the room with 4 KIDS, ooh big freakin' deal, get the f over it. It's not my fault the other class has two teachers missing and I have to be a fill in.
I'll admit I'm enjoying it a bit because it's not the North Pole, but the kids are way more rambunctious.
That's it, couldn't say it out loud to any of the people here because I can't trust a soul.
Have a good weekend bloggers.

take a moment
So I was going to do a post earlier this week, but didn't have time. I'm glad I didn't because then there would be two posts that are almost exactly the same.
We've had a bit of a sad week in our home this week. My DH lost Penny (the tarantula) on Tuesday. Then I woke up yesterday morning to find Calais (my convict cichlid) doing a head stand in the rocks. By one o'clock, she was gone.
We had them for five years.

Chef's Market
I'd like to take a moment and thank Beth over at Eat.Drink.Smile for letting her followers know about this place. My husband and I had a date night and ate here last night.
I wanted to go because of their dedication food weeks to Eat Pray Love. This was the last week of the three week series.
I was a bit worried on the way out because I wasn't sure what it was going to be like. I called on Thursday and asked several questions about how it worked and the lady on the phone explained that it was an "upscale meat and three like buffet" when you do a CIT (chef inspired table). Or you could pay for what you pick; three veggies, one meat two veggies, one meat three veggies, etc. The more expensive kind of meat you pick (chicken vs salmon) the more you pay. Or you could order off their menu.
Of course I didn't have a clue as to what she was talking about. I'm thinking that we are going to go to a buffet like place where people serve me my food, kinda like cafeteria style (you know back in high school) and/or I could have a chef make food at our table like Kobe. I'm hoping for the best at this point.
Well we get there and it's not as bad as I was thinking. They have all these foods in coolers or warmer cases (kinda like Wal Mart has in the deli section where you can pick your food and eat while you shop or take it home).
NOW I UNDERSTAND!!! A person walks through and points or says what they want and the helper behind the counter scoops it up and plates it for ya.
So if someone wants rice, veggies, fruit, and meat; you pay for whats on your plate! Well my DH and I did the CIT. This basically means that we can get anything and everything we want and as much or as little. We could also "special order" what the chef is making at his table. Which we ended up doing and ordered the duck special. It's probably the most expensive way to go, but we got to try everything they serve in their displays. DH and I didn't get too many of the same things and we shared bites of our stuff with each other.
The best part (for me anyways) came towards the end. I was thinking that we could only get one slice of cake with our CIT buffet, but NOPE we could get ENDLESS of that too!
I'm not going to list everything we tried (that might be a bit embarrassing to write), but I will say that if I ever go back (which I told DH, I didn't want to because it's bad for me and my waistline) I know which items I would pick (and definitely suggest you try if you go): mashed potatoes (so cheesy and creamy), sweet potatoes (with a crunchy nutty cinnamony strudel like topping), baked beans, and a butter roll (literally melts in your mouth, I wasn't going to eat any bread, but when I tried this my first comment was "that melted, what was that?").
Isn't that awful! I've been doing really well eating "healthy", this place kills that. Its such great place to get some southern comfort food. Makes me ready for the holidays.

P.A.B.
So there are several things I want to blog about, but I have to be quick and this is really up there on the scale of things that irk me.
Two weeks ago I invited all the girls here at work to go out to eat after work on Friday night. I only invited them b/c I knew that they would think it would be fun.
There's a place that is doing a three week long dedication meal(s) to the book Eat Pray Love. This is the last weekend it will be happening. All of the girls have read the book and we talked about it ALOT! Well within the last twenty minutes I've learned that the handful that was interested in going all have some reason they can't. I expected it to be a "no" when I asked since it's a holiday weekend but they were all interested regardless.
The shittiest excuse I heard is "I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow". WTF U can't do it when you get off at four? Or you can't do it on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday since it's a long weekend. What a bunch of BS!
That's it, I don't really feel better b/c now I don't know if I get to go. I'm going to have to sweet talk my husband into going. Which is going to be super hard b/c he has a standing guys night on Friday's and he missed it last week so he could go hunting.
