My birthday gifts

For my birthday presents from my husband a few things I wanted was some decor from the country house (which I need to order online), some Beautiful perfume from Este Lauder, a new purse and a deep fryer . I purchased a Kenmore deep fryer, came home and opened it and then checked the reviews online. How stupid of me ! It had a horrible review. They said that it would shut off right in the middle of deep-frying food. My husband told me to try it and see what happened.....and sure enough on my second batch of chicken it shut off right in the middle of it. So I packed it back up in the box and took it back. I have researched it a lot this time, and I am ordering one of the Presto deep fryers. Excellent reviews on all of the Presto deep fryers!


Deep fried food is not the healthiest thing in the world for you. But my kids grew up eating deep-fried fries at least once a month. You can not beat them. I do not think that a lot of new moms know how EASY deep-frying is. Why even waste your time frying chicken over the stove when you can just cover it with flour and seasonings ( I like garlic powder, salt & pepper) and throw it in a deep-fryer? Now adays deep-fryers come with manuals and excellent directions that tell you exactly how long and what temperature to make french fries , chicken, fish, or whatever you are craving. For example to make french-fries you just have to buy one of those huge containers of vegetable oil, heat it up in your deep-fryer, cut up your potatoes, (I have a french-fry dicer), fry them, take them out and put them on a plate to absorb some of the grease.....and load up on ketchup and enjoy. Go buy one tonight! They are great.....and super easy!

surprise 50th!


My family managed to pull off throwing me a surprise 5oth birthday party.....which is really funny when I think about it because my sister just had one two years ago....and I should have seen it coming. But I told everyone I did not want one, and I thought they would have listened to me. lol! I haven't been too crazy about turning fifty, but I love this time of my life and everyone that is in it now, so I just need to stop being so darn vain! We had a houseful of family, good food, nice visits, and games. It was great!
