Hubby, his younger brother and his friend all work at the same company.
During the winter time they are all laid off and at home receiving unemployment insurance because their job is seasonal.
So in previous seasons they would have Tuesday/Fridays...Tuesday is the day the pay comes in and we'd go out for a Tues/Fri cheeseburger, usually at McDonald's and then they'd get a case of beer and come over and hang out, play pool, have a jam session-Peter plays bass, Sky plays guitar and Shawn plays drums and they ROCK when they jam together! ;)
Occasionally they would also do goofy things like slide down the short hill in my front yard on the kids snowboard cause they were feelin happy and standing outside to have a smoke (no smoking in my house) and it's just the kind of goofy stuff boys do when they are havin fun together lol
As everything else in life, it changes and things that used to happen don't happen as often anymore...for many different reasons...but, DUDES I totally miss Tues/Fri cheeseburgers!!
I love my boys and I love the time I get to spend with them even if boys will be boys and are sometimes RUDE and DISGUSTING and DISTURBING and CURSE LIKE SAILORS lmao
They are still VERY fun guys and I enjoy their company very much!
SOOOO........if you read this guys...tell hubby you wanna have a Tues/Fri cheeseburger jam session...this house has been way too QUIET and DEPRESSING....it is so OVERDUE time for some goofy boys to come make noise!!! lol
;) DUDE I totally MISS you!!

It was a great time, lots of fun had, a birthday cake for three and good food.
It was a great time, lots of fun had, a birthday cake for three and good food.
Along with the usual snacks like popcorn, corn chips, pretzels and chips we also had everyone's favourite taco dip with tostitos. (RECIPE to follow). The drinkers were drinking whatever their fave drinks were and we all got to share some of our fave party "drinks"...the infamous JELLO SHOOTERS!! Woohoo!!
It's always fun to have our friends come over for a good evening.
Good friends, good food, good music, good times!
Happy Birthday!

Top 5 Foods MY Boys Wanna EAT...
AT our parties...OR anytime really! lol
(random order)
- Wings
- Steak
- Ribs
- Cheeseburgers
- Pizza
They do like other things but these seem to be good anytime!
AND you can tweak the sauces for the wings...
tho they seem to like hot sauce!
Write what ya KNOW...
Write what you know they say....hmmmmm....well alright...
Boys, burgers and BEER...in no particular order...lol
I can't say I know ALL the boys...there are just too many!! So MANY boys so little time!! hehehe
But, I know MY boys and I know what they like to eat because I've spent a lot of years FEEDING them...all the bad, fattening, awful-for-you party foods that we ALL enjoy eating! ;)...AND, yes I also have fed them good things as well!
I'm writing about menus and meals and restricted diet plans in a separate blog because I can't eat or drink too much of the fun stuff anymore but, there is no reason why I can't share all the yummies that we have all enjoyed over the years here for everyone else to try!!
So this is the party blog!!! WELCOME! ;)
I have always loved food.
I have at times used food to comfort myself.
I have been cooking food for others since I was 12 or 13 because my father was sick, my mother had to work and I had to help out! So I have always known how to cook for a family of four or more.
I get BORED! I grew up in a meat and potato meal home...you know...pork chops, a roast, steak, ham, whatever...WITH potatoes and some kind of veggie. Also, usually with gravy too...and don't get me wrong...these are wonderful meals sometimes but I get BORED...I need variety in my food...it's the spice of life you know! lol
So I have learned to try a recipe and tweak it here and there sometimes to fit my own tastes or that of my hubby and we've tried MANY. I LOVE this man for being the adventurous sort and being willing to eat all the many new recipes I have found and tried and also kind of invented over the years! Kudos to you honey...you've got an adventurous spirit! (Especially living through all the less than wonderful experiments too!)
Hubby is often the guinea pig that has to test some of the things the other boys just get to enjoy after they've already become something GOOD! lol
Tho my oldest son always says his fave things I make are the things I just kind of throw into a pot together! The standing joke around here is that we're having "pig puke" for supper (sorry!).
I have always been a nurturer and since I was eighteen and out on my own enjoyed cooking good meals for my friends. Usually this happens at an annual Christmas Dinner but, also can be because we've decided to have friends over for a meal or we've planned a birthday potluck to celebrate our friend's birthdays as well as those of our family.
So, I may have many recipes, ideas and foods to share.
I might also have some funny friend stories.
I hope that I will express properly the love and joy I share with my friends and family at our parties and in our home and that you will feel you would be welcome at our table. ;)
