Some more things off the list

Crossed off a few more things from

our Summer Bucket List!

We LOVE the Drive In

in the summer time! 

We all loaded in the truck

for $10 a car load night.  Not 

bad for 5 of us to see a brand 

new movie for 10 bucks total.

The movie was Men In Black 3.

#2 Go to the Drive-In

The boys love to swim at

night.  I don't know why,

because it is so cold to me.

They always beg to do it, so

last night we let them.

The temp was only 66

and I don't think it made it

out of the 70's yesterday.

Freezing cold water!

AND they loved it!

My snook made me a fire.

That's how chilly it was.

# 62 - Go for a night swim

The boys decided we needed to

do a "chopped" challenge.

They each picked 2 ingredients

for KC and I to cook dinner with.

Whoever cooked the best meal

was the winner.

Our ingredients were:

Watermelon

Boy Scout Popcorn

Tomato Soup

Bay Leaves

Red Grapefruit

Mango Jam

We could also use whatever

from the fridge or pantry.

BUT we HAD to use each

of the 6 things they picked.

 I already had my soup going

and KC was still trying to figure

out what the heck to make.

The boys watched every move

we made.  Cody was even the

commentator.  He kept giving a play

by play. 

"and nobody has used the watermelon"

and 

"Ohhhh, Mama is the first one

 to use the Mango Jam"

It was so funny.

I went with Ham and Mango Jam

grilled sandwiches, Tomato soup

shooters, and my watermelon was 

cut into a little weenie dog.

My dessert was the popcorn

drizzled in white chocolate and

Hershey syrup.

 KC went very Gourmet Chef.

He made pasta with Chicken 

that he cooked in a Mango Jam

and Tomato Soup sauce.  His watermelon

was stacked like a fort with Bay Leaf

flags.  The popcorn was sprinkled

with cheese powder.

The judges ate both meals

and made us go in our room

while they discussed everything.

It was a very serious process.

Of course the winner was...

ME!!!  How can you go wrong

with Chocolate covered popcorn

and watermelon shaped like

weenie dogs?

We had a pretty big mess

with 2 people trying to cook

at the same time.  My kitchen isn't

that big.  BUT it was so worth it!

We all had a great time!
