Just an Update

1. We have secured a mortgage and we are spending a ton of time checking out houses in the Fort Hood area on the internet. There are so many decisions to make but we are leaning towards houses that have at least 4 bedrooms, at least 1800 square feet and a back porch is a must.

2. So much for blog promises!! The truth is I have been on my scale because I am afraid of what it will say! BUT I have been running--no more walking for me because I think it useless as far as weight loss goes. BUT I can only run one mile at this moment in time and it is not very fast! In fact, I was comparing my mile time to that of the Navy standards which are pretty wimpy and I am failing miserably.

But, by the time this is all over I will be considered a runner ---- if it kills me!! So I have been waddling away everyday and I am very sore to prove it. I will be within Navy standards soon and that is good enough!

3. Keith came home this last weekend and I tried out a few of my new recipies on him. I have spent a lot of time copying recipes from books I get from the Library. So far, my most favorite recipes come from Southern Living and Rachel Ray.

Here is a picture of my homemade from scratch Buttermilk Biscuits. They are very pretty because I didn't use a circle cutter- I didn't want to waste any of the dough. But they were still just as good.



Some other things I have made are:
Chicken Cutlets with Artichoke Sauce
SourKraut Soup
Peppered Beef Brisket in Beer Sauce
Dijon Vinaigrette with Brocalli Salad
And tonight it will be Taco Soup

So far so good. If any of the recipes I make don't get at least 5 stars from the family I am going to throw away the recipe- life is too short to eat crap!

4. Here is just a random picture of the front of our house. We are required here to have Keith's name on the front with the name of his unit he is attached to here. I thought this was a cool picture.
