October is Decorating Month!

Or, at least it is in our house.

I also have been doing a little baking/cooking. Here is a photographic journey of the latest happenings...

We (well, I) bought some new bedding and we FINALLY got night stands! Now I don't have to put my glasses on a dusty old chair!




Looks like a magazine shot, right? It was taken right in my KITCHEN!




But, we have a story about the left picture. See that soup? When I took the shot I was all proud of it and looking forward to having the "Crock-Pot Chicken Noodle Soup" for dinner. Do you see any noodles, though?

NO! Because they all dissolved in the pot and turned into a sticky paste the consistency of paper mache! I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS. But, it forgot to mention that you should BOIL the noodles, first.

So, we had to dump the whole thing out!!! Nathan sat at the sink and picked out the chicken pieces so we could save them for our next attempt. It went MUCH better this time. We boiled the noodles separately and it ended up being the best soup we ever made!

So, here's a lesson.... never put uncooked noodles into the crock pot!
