Came across this link-up in my reader feed hosted by Part-Time Monster, and it sounded like fun so I decided to join in, hey…who doesn’t love a party?!?! For me, this will be especially fun to reintroduce some of my posts, since I started this blog 7 years ago. Because back then when a person visited my blog, you could literally hear the crickets chirping, and the sound of the howling wind as it blows aimlessly through a wide open space…and on occasion one would witness a lone tumbleweed ramble across the screen. Anniehow…I found this post, and it was such a nice stroll down memory lane for me, and it still makes me chuckle. I’ve dusted it off for ya, so here ya go.
If you’d like to link up, there is only one rule: the post you add must be at least 30 days old. The older, the better. Find the link-up here.
The original post was posted back in 2009, so my kids were much younger then. The twins (Joshua & Olivia had just turned 14), Elijah was 8 and Benji was 4.
The other day I was talking with the kids about going to the store. Olivia had received a shirt for her birthday that was the wrong size, so she needed to take it back. Benji then says, “Yeah, mom, I need to take my shirt back too, I don’t want it anymore.” If that wasn’t funny in itself, but I looked at the shirt that he was wearing, and I quickly calculated that it was about 12 years old!! It’s a red polo shirt with a black, grey and white stripe across the middle. I had to pull out a photo album to see if that was correct, 12 years? Yes, I have a picture of Joshua wearing it for his 2nd birthday and he wore it until he outgrew it, Elijah wore it, now Benji is wearing it. It’s still in good shape. But I had to laugh, wouldn’t it…
THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS:
The first week of March, and snow 3 days out of the week.
WHAT’S FEEDING MY BOOK ADDICTION:
Nothing to report at the moment 😯
LOL CHUCKLES, AND GIGGLES:
WHAT’S ON THE TV:
Blindspot is back tonight!! I see a new season of the Voice starts as well, I might start that again. Have to catch up on Castle and The Good Wife.
RECIPE I HAVE TRIED:
OK, so a couple of weeks ago, I posted a recipe from the internet called Healthy Cookies. O.M.G. So not good!! As I was making these, I’m like there isn’t any eggs in these, but I’ve made cookies before without eggs, no flour, only oatmeal. Yeah…total fail. These were horrible, and such a waste of time and ingredients. That is the problem with getting stuff on the internet, obviously something was missing from this recipe, but people tend to just post things without proofreading…which. drives. Me. Crazy. I know there are times a typo slips past the eagle eye, but this seems like there was something really missing. *Deep breath* ok…done with rant 🙂
But…I did try these and they were delicious!!
Pull-Apart Ham & Cheese Sliders
Makes 9
INGREDIENTS
1 package Hawaiian sweet rolls, sheet of 12 rolls left intact (not pulled apart)
8 slices deli ham
4 slices Swiss cheese
9 pickle slices (optional)
¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
PREPARATION
1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
2. Remove 3 buns on one end and cut the remaining 3×3 sheet of sweet rolls in half lengthwise. Arrange the bottom half into a square baking pan. Layer evenly with ham slices, then Swiss cheese, then pickles (optional). Cover with the top half of the sweet rolls.
3. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and mustard, stirring until evenly mixed. Pour the butter mixture all over the top of the sandwiches. Bake for 20 minutes until the sweet rolls are golden brown and cheese is melted. Cut into individual sandwiches.
I did mine a little different, because I’m not a mustard kinda gal, so I replaced it with Miracle Whip. Very yummy.
FAVORITE VIDEO FROM THE WEB:
I would love one of these in our little backyard nook. This made me think of the fairies that hang out over in the Northwoods 😉
FROM THE CAMERA:
My daughter did a photo shoot on one of the warm days with one of her friends. The shadows are so cool in this pic.
There is no right or wrong way, it’s really a matter of personal preference, I have found. This has recently been a discussion in my family, which started when my oldest son’s friend posted the following on my son’s FB page:
I put peanut butter and jelly on the same slice of bread.
It took no time at all for the comments to filter in, all against this obscure way of making a PB&J sandwich. This is actually how my son, my mom and myself make the sandwich. But my daughter and middle son make it by putting the peanut butter and jelly on separate slices. So with that I realized it’s not a family thing, it’s really a personal thing. I went on to explain the logic for the way I make it, that way you have an empty slice where you can actually wipe your knife clean on that slice of bread, which my mom of course agreed with. Otherwise, I come across a knife that is loaded with peanut butter in the sink to be washed….ahhhh…so that’s why that happens. Anniehow…
With the rise in peanut allergies, it would be interesting to see how that weighs in, so I added that in to my little poll. Funny how when I was a little kid, no one was allergic to peanuts, but it’s a real serious thing now.
So chime in and cast your vote, let me know how you make yours, and if I get enough responses, I’ll analyze the data and post the results.
