To start with . . . I'M GOING TO BE ON TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the former meteorologists on Channel 9 up here (Tony Schumacher) does segments on the news with Cooking and Gardening Tips (Tony's Tips) and occasionally has guests on the segment. He does the segments from his home, which is just up the road from us in Dorchester. I sent him an e-mail last night telling him that I'd love to do a Dutch oven segment with him when it gets just a tad warmer outside and he responded saying he'd LOVE to! We'll film the segment in April to have on TV in May! Isn't that cool!!!!!!!! WOW! I'm just in shock . . .
Actually, to be truthful, I didn't send the e-mail. I had it all prepared and had Greg read it. I was busy making dinner and he said "should I send it." My answer was "sure" . . . that way I can say it's all your fault!!! LOL Yep, it's all his fault!
But WAIT! It gets even better!
I had a radio station ad person in the store yesterday who said that they are going to be giving away a campe r. . . donated by Kings Campers in Wausau. She initially came in to talk about advertising, and after a bit of chatting and talking about campfire cooking, she mentioned how they're going to be taking the camper (a pop up) all over the area for remote broadcasts. She then stated that she thought it would be really great if I could be at some of the remotes with them cooking and talking about cooking in my Dutch ovens!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!! MORE free advertising!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And all I have to do is do what I love!
I REALLY had a GREAT day yesterday!
So, back to "normal" news . . .
Greg was off tonight, so we were able to have a nice family dinner together. I made one of my favorites when it comes to chicken . . . a recipe that I found a couple years ago. It's called Honey Glazed Chicken and is really easy to make. We had what we call "Cheesey Hash Browns" (hash brown potatoes, fried with onions, salt and pepper, and then baked with shredded cheddar cheese mixed in and also sprinkled on top -- it's a favorite of the kids').
We've had issues with our kitchen chairs (cheap Chinese manufacturing!) in the past, but they were holding up OK. We had been having a really fun time at dinner, chatting and laughing, when all of a sudden . . . . Abby was dropping to the floor!!!!!!!!!!!! I sit across from her at the table, and watched as it unfolded. As her chair gave way underneath her, she hollered, her hands flew up over her head (think of someone on a roller coaster), and suddenly she was on her butt on the floor! OMG! It only took about two seconds, but dang! It was hysterical!
Good thing she's young! She wasn't hurt, and was laughing like crazy, as were the rest of us! Yea, we're warped, and we admit it! It's so cool to be able to tell ya'all about good things and normal things. It's funny . . . after Abby fell from her chair, all I could think of was how I couldn't wait to write about it in my blog! OK, so that's kind of pathetic, but, these computers are the way we all communicate these days. I must admit . .. I'm still chuckling about Abby!
So, that's it from the "normal" Mik household! Hope ya'll have a normal day!
