Frankenstein ready for the frame

Here is Frankenstein all ready for the frame; this bad boy is huge!  I have decided to keep the scrap theme going with the thread used on the bottom or back.  I will use up all the left over bobbins of quilts of the past J  so that will make everything about this quilt scraps J  that makes me happy!  I can’t wait to get it off the frame and add my scrappy binding and put that bad boy on my bed. 


Today is Monday which means another week of cooking dinners for my tribe.  Ash Wednesday is this week so that means it’s time for Friday fish.  My girls love this but the men of the house could really do without it so I make pasta on fish nights as well.   

French dips sanny’s with fries and ice cream
Meatless spaghetti/ shrimp alfredo with a salad and tiramisu for dessert (load on those calories)
Pork tenderloin with fried noodles/rice with veggie and brownies.
Fajita’s with angel food cake with berries and cream.
Fried fish with potato pancakes and corn fritters with cupcakes of some sort

At least one night of leftovers or MIY as I like to call it.  Make It Yourself J Mom needs night off here and there.

Menu Monday and Texans Quilt

I know it has been almost 3 weeks since I posted but it is not because I didn’t want to, I had the flu L well, it started with the flu turned into sinus infection, ear infection, eye infection and then a bonus of strep throat.  Seriously, 13 days in bed!  I finally feel human again and ready to get things back on track! 
It is Menu Monday
Here is my general layout for evening meals this week.  It got cold again so will be lots of soup and bread.
Monday Chicken n’ dumplings with some fresh bread and peanut butter pie for dessert
Tuesday Chicken casserole with a salad followed by some cupcakes
     Wednesday Waffles/Pancakes with home fries and eggs no dessert on b’fast nights
     Thursday Marinated sirloin and baked spuds with salad and chocolate pie
     Friday It is my night off and we will eat out J
     Saturday Brown sugar salmon/Burgers for non-fish eaters with rice and veggie.  I am thinking chocolate cake for dessert tonight.

I did manage to get a quilt done while I was sick.  I had an order for a custom Houston Texans quilt.  I am super excited with how it turned out.  



I have some other pretties waiting their turn on the frame so I better head to the longarm room instead hanging out on my blog.
