Hey team! :) So, I want everyone to be proud. I made a REAL dinner today. Trust me, it doesn't happen that often...if ever, so today is a real milestone in our lives. What did I decide to make? They are called chicken -rollups. It involves an 8oz. thing of cream cheese, a can of cream of chicken, chicken cut up into cubes (which I did so well, even though Aaron told me that in the future "cubing" chicken shouldn't take 15-20 minutes, that in reality it is a 2 minute tops job...grrrrr), and croissant rolls. Mix it together and what do ya got? deliciousness in every bite.
Seriously, Aaron can attest, whenever I do spend the effort making something REAL, it NEVER works or tastes right or it burns...or something. Then I am left upset crying into a sink full of a million dishes! So, today...my friends, a real victory was won. If nothing else, I am totally full of pride. :)
Now, I am going to give you this link. I worry in some ways, I'm not trying to make fun of this Miss Teen Contestant from South Carolina, it is just the saddest thing. Truly, as I was watching it, my heart broke for her. It was so awkward and sad, yet a tinsy bit funny at the same time.
Hmmm....with that said, see for yourself. Aaron found it and showed it to me a few minutes ago. And, you know, with all new and interesting things I find, I love to pass it along to ya'll. Let me know what you think, okay? good.
Also, another tidbit I just found out from Aaron...In colonial times, sugar consumption for americans was 2lbs. a year. Guess what it is now? 3 lbs a week!!!!
What do I have to say to that? Pass me those left over chocolate chip cookies and let me finish that bowl of Fruity Pebbles!

LOL That is hilarious. Joe and I watched it and thought it was pretty funny. " Um....because we don't have maps..." Just her accent was really funny. And so crazy about the sugar intake..I probably contribute too much to that percentage...
Oh Melissa, I have a hard time believing that you can't cook when I saw your delicious chocolate cupcakes! I need aaron to hook up my speakers again. Or maybe I should stop being lazy and do it myself.
ha! i was thinking you were talking about MY aaron, not your aaron! I thought, when did he hook up your speakers? :) yes, you definitely need volume for this one.
baking vs. cooking...in my opinion, two very different things. :)

Holy Cow...that sugar Consumption increase is incredible. Maybe I should start watching mine.
Thanks for the laugh. ha.
Okay, so I am happy to see an updated page. I'll say you have been an updating queen lately and have no reason for an apology, with such a busy life and with how much you have been able to keep us informed on life. Anyway, congrats on making something for dinner. I wasn't so great at cooking when Marc and I lived at Wymount and now that we eat every meal in Janae's kitchen....well lets just say I'm going to have a real shocker coming when I have to move out and actually step foot in the kitchen for something other than just eating. :)
oh, melis, that video is so sad! how did he just keep from busting up laughing? congrats on the meal. very impressive!
How truely sad...I'm at a loss for words (as she must have been too). I'm impressed by your mad cooking skills! I'm sure it was yummy!
I love the random info you seem to know. Sugar - yea, I'm definitely consuming too much a week!
Ha! Ha! Way to go 'Scholarship Program'!! That poor girl. I, myself have made chicken roll-ups almost too many times and I am afraid that I have perfected them!! Try adding red, yellow and orange bell peppers and rolling the croissant in bread crumbs. Delicious I tell you! Delicious!
Good job on the meal! Quintin is always happy when I cook, but today he was able to cook a meal without setting off our smoke alarm! Thanks for posting that video too, so funny!
Melis! I just came across your blog and you are now my inspiration! If you can do it so can I. I believe that if the American people don't know how to cook, then it is because they don't have a kitchen... or maps. And by the way, I just saw your cute quilt! Cute!
that video is so sad! I really feel bad for her!
I just want you to know how much I enjoy reading your posts. You always make me laugh!
How is Seminary going?
That poor girl!!! How sad! Where do you find all this stuff? The video, the stats on sugar? I feel so dumb when I read other people's blogs!!! Good job on the dinner!!
Before thinking about what to make for dinner, I think about what to make for dessert. It's sad, but true. I will probably die at 40 from diabetes, but I will die with a smile on my face!
