Sunday Dinner, September 9, 2007 & A Meme

Yep, it's that time again already. Hard to believe, but this week has flown by with wings on it.

And once again, I won't be cooking Sunday Dinner this week. But this time I have a very good excuse.

For those of you who are long time readers of my blog, you may remember baby Seth, my great nephew. He belongs to Danny and Mikki. Danny is my sister Ducky's son.

Are you still with me? Seth is now 6 months old and will be dedicated at Danny and Mikki's church Sunday morning. After church Danny and Mikki have invited all the family to their house for grilled burgers and hot dogs. Of course anybody who'd like to be there for the dedication is invited for that as well.

So I'll be enjoying hot dogs and hamburgers for dinner tomorrow. A bonus is that somebody else will be grilling them!

What are your plans for Sunday Dinner? If you're cooking, what's on the menu? Going out to eat? Where, and what do you plan to order? Just post your feedback in the comments.And I fully intend to cook Sunday Dinner next week if all goes as planned. I've got several things planned for the next several Sunday Dinners. When I bought groceries Thursday night I shopped with several menu options in mind.

One thing I shopped for was ingredients for BARB'S delicious BREAKFAST BURRITOS. I made them Friday night, and mercy, what a mess of burritos her recipe makes! I ended up with 29 burritos, less the 4 Lamar and I had for supper.

I used my biggest bowl to mix the filling ingredients together and barely had room to stir and mix everything together. I told Barb I really should have used my dishpan!

I just love knowing I have some delicious, instant, homemade meals in the freezer for those times I'm too TARD to wiggle, much less cook. And they'll be great for quick meals and snacks. We're great fans of breakfast and Mexican food here, and how can you go wrong with a wonderful combination of the two?

Barb also has a recipe for dinner burritos listed under the breakfast burrito recipe on that link. I'm going to try those soon.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes, Barb!JENNY @ PRAIRIE FARMERESS tagged me for a meme. This one uses the letters of your middle name.

Here's the rules:

You have to post these rules before you give the facts.
Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant
to your life for each letter of your middle name.
If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name
you would have liked to have had.
When you are tagged you need to write your own blog
post containing your own middle name game facts.
At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person
for each letter of your middle name to tag.
Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them
they’re tagged and to read your blog.

I have a bit of a dilemma. You see, I use my middle name as my call name. My name is Lena Diane, as many of you will know from my blog address. I was named for my Mama's stepmother, who was the first Lena. Since she was still living, Mama called me Diane to cut down on confusion.

(Aside: When I started school every year, I was counted absent several times because the teacher would call roll and ask for Lena Cook (my maiden name). I never answered because I didn't know who Lena Cook was, but I always wondered if we were kin somehow, LOL!)

So, I pondered, should I go ahead and use Diane for this meme, or should I use Lena as it's the more unused portion of my name? I decided to use Lena, so here goes!

L - LOVE - Something that I'm good at. I love deeply and fiercely.

E - EAT - Something I obviously like to do, since I weigh approximately the same as as a small foreign car.

N - NIGHT OWL - Actually, lately I've been a frustrated and slightly reformed night owl. Since Emmy gets here every morning anywhere from 6:30-7:30 am I have to get in bed by 10:30 or 11 pm to get a halfway decent night's sleep. Most of the time I don't get in bed that early so I just hope I can sneak in a nap sometime during the day while Emmy sleeps.

A - AUTUMN - My favorite season, followed closely by Winter. I know this is lame, but I've agonized over something that starts with "A" for an hour and I'm ready to get this done and posted.

And now, I'm going to tag 4 of you to do this middle name meme:

JESSICA
CECIL
LYNNE
MIGHTY MOM

Okay, y'all have your assignment. Have fun!With that, I'm going to wrap this up and try to get it posted.

Y'all have a blessed Sunday, and may God bless you with all you need, and enough to share.
