Wishing BIG!

So tonight for dinner we had this awesome SMOKED chicken breast that I bought from our local butcher at last Sunday's Farmer's Market. This "breast" was huge...and let's face it...I know about big breasts! Seriously though, it was so delicious and there was enough for dinner for all 3 of us...and at least 3 meat servings for lunches...see I told ya...it was BIG! (Note to self....I see many more smoked chicken breast breasts in my future! Buy more Uncle Ben's Wild Rice! :)
So there I was at the end of dinner clearing the meat of the bone and pulled off the "Wish Bone" I say to JE: "Hey! Wish Bone! When it dries we'll have to see who's wish comes true!" JE says: "MINE! My wish wish will come true!" and I say back "I don't know JE, mommy really needs one of her wishes to come true! So IF you got your wish what would you wish for?" JE replies: "A POPSICLE!" "Hmph!" I say "That's a small wish!" to which he slams me and says: "FINE! I wish for a BIG POPSICLE!"
Way to dream big kid! :) Love it!
I just finsihed making some pumpkin bread I had leftover in the pantry. I figured it would be easy breakfast items...plus I don't want it to get too far into Summer before making it. Of course ANY TIME is the RIGHT TIME for eating pumpkin bread if your asking my hubby! OH! And for all 3 of you playing at home about my last post and pondering what a HAM HOCK is...ponder no more. I wiki'ed it and it's not nearly as gross as I suspected. (Stop reading now if you tuly don't want to know...LOL!) it's the "meat" of the JOINT that connects the leg of the pig to it's foot...so no...it's not the foot...it's the leg joint. There....that wasn't so bad...and it really DOES make a huge difference in the flavoring of a ham or bean soup! YUM!
And now for a totally different topic....I was buying our bed frame at IKEA a few weeks ago, and while at the checkout I spotted these framed "ready for hanging" corkboards for only $6.00! I bought two thinking one for me...one for JE....for whatever we might want to tack on up there. Ya know...pics of Rick..dart board targets of my enemies...ya know that sorat thing...LOL! Seriously, don't laugh...I know this is "Oprah-ish" and all but I think I'm gonna make a dream board. Something that I can focus on every day to remind me of what I really want in life...ya know like a killer body, traveling certain places, becoming Umphrey's McGee's road mistress...ah way to wish BIG Kat...remember, always wish BIG!
