I remember watching Mister Rogers as a child although I was a bit older than the target audience. I was seven when the show began but I had younger brothers and cousins. We all spent a lot of time at our grandparents’ house and Grandma always turned this on for us to watch each day….
Menu Monday ~ February 4, 2013
Click here or here for more menu ideas! Monday: I made gumbo last night which uses several of the same ingredients I’ll need in the red beans. While I was chopping veggies I went ahead and did enough celery and bell pepper for the beans, too. I also cooked enough rice for tonight as well….

A slow month update- January 27, 2013
I’ve made two brief shopping trips since my last “slow month” update. I had volunteered to make a big pan of green beans for a local charity organization so I ran in to Apple Market following the MLK event Monday. I needed green beans and bacon for the dish (I still had onion at home)…
