New Shindig



I am FINALLY posting pictures of my new apartment per request a persistent little sister. Sorry LIV! So out new little place it just that. Little. We love it here though, and are so grateful we found a place that has two bedrooms and that was a SCREAMIN deal. It was a wonderful blessing. Enjoy the awkward angles of the pictures - again, think little. 








I know my bedroom looks a little.... well, lacking personality..but our pictures are on the other walls, which I chose not to show you my covered dressers. So picture some dressers on the other wall with some cute family pictures above them. 
Well, thats our little abode. Thanks for joining us on the tour! (Yep, I made that fun wreath - and I LOVE it) 

Wave to me!

There is the a sweet Asian gentlemen that waves to me in the morning. It is sweet that he waves, but what really makes me smile is his actual wave. He waves like an excited 6 year old that is just getting off the most exciting ride at the nearest theme park. He is genuine, and sweet, and so excited to see each driver on his walk each morning. Just wanted to note something that makes me smile each day.

YUMMY Corn Chowder

I thought I better write this one down because I simply made some of it up - But it turned out rather yummy!

CORN CHOWDER
1/2 lb country sausage
1 red pepper - DICED
1 small onion - DICED
SAUTE together Drain if there is excess grease

In large pot:
Sausage mixture
2 Tb butter
1 Can creamed corn
1 Can corn
4 C chicken broth
Boil for 15 minutes then ADD:
2 C milk
5 Small Potatoes cut into bite size pieces

Mix together 2 T Flour and a little water to make a paste. Add to soup and simmer for 30 minutes

The recipes I read before hand called for bacon instead of sausage and celery instead of red bell pepper, but I thought this was VERY yummy.
