Tuesday = business

So today I took a flight went somewhere else and now I am supposed to conduct business lol yeah right!

My new company sent me to another location in order to learn some new businessy things, so far I have learned that I like this office, better.

The ladies are super sweet and they are nice and polite to each other .. not to say my current boss isn't nice, but they actually like each other and spend time together like a lovely friendly relationship.

So anyways, new place is really neat, much much bigger than where I work and literally less than a 10 min walk to the airport.

Now it's 1pm here and I'm trying to figure out what in the world I am supposed to do with the rest of the day .. let alone the evening! *Sigh* my book is on the coffee table at home along with my fuzzy babies and my hubby .. I really do love being home. Hopefully this trip will turn out to be something more than learning new facts

Tata for now

Chicken & Dumpling goodness!

I am all about the slow cooker these days! I have been searching my favorite recipe site for new & different slow cooker recipes, among the ones I'm trying this week I found Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings I figured it would be worth a try for Joe, who constantly brags about his grandmothers good foods.

Here's what I did:

2 chicken breasts, chopped up
2 tablespoons butter
2 cans chicken broth
1 onion, chopped
Sprinkle with Salt & Pepper and Parsley

Cook on low for 8-10 hours

Came home stirred it, added some seasoned salt and (here's where I cheat!) put in the Pillsbury biscuits torn into small pieces.

I got rave reviews and Joe actually asked me if I could/would make this again, that just doesn't happen!

Tonight we are having a modified Tamale casserole Yum!

Ahhhh what a weekend!

I have to say we had a lovely weekend!

Friday evening we went to my managers house for a small work event, it was nice ... but afterwards I went over to Allison's house & had some great wine (I need to get the name of that) and some yummy cheeses and we just talked & looked at necklaces her mom made and darn it, one that I got would have SO gone with my outfit today.

Saturday my hubby got up early to go golfing, he had a great time and boasted about his score, of course this only lead to his wanting his own set of clubs & shoes *sigh*

Saturday evening we went to a Chinese restaurant past Catania, it was yummy & a nice change.

Sunday Joe really wanted to spend money (when doesn't he) after getting back from his trip the antique market, I thought this was a good opportunity to get our grocery shopping done, I like to do one big trip a month and then little ones for fresh milk and such .. this is costly but usually works and it's actually cheaper in the long run. We happened to go when there was a 'case lot' sale and it was even cheaper to buy in bulk so yay we are now prepared for anything coming our way! After our shopping trip we came home put everything away and took Gella on a walk.

Not exactly an eventful weekend but it was quite lovely to us!
