OIL LEASE

In case you are not available on Facebook, here is update on the OIL LEASE...

Per Jim Coots, he has been very busy this past year but is now ready to move on the oil lease. He wants to know if we want to contact his attorney and have him represent/advise us too. He is also asking this of his two brothers and Jane Kirk (JP's wife who is acting for Mabel Kirk). If we all have this attorney act for us, he will probably give us a discount since he will be representing at least 13 people. We need to decide this and give attorney a call within the next week if we are....

Let me know via email or phone (no internet at home except phone so i can access email and facebook).

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I am thankful for many things but most especially, for my family!

Well I thought long and hard about it and i decided to put up a tree this year. I got the best one I could afford and it took a long time to decorate. I hope my roommates appreciate it.

Funny Video (inappropriate, but funny!)

This is a You Tube video that Rob has been watching over and over again for the past 2 weeks. He thinks it is hilarious! Apparently a reporter was trying to do a news cast and the guy in the video interrupted. Anyhoo - Rob thought you might like it too.

TEA PARTY SATURDAY!!

We had a tea party today at Strawberries and Daydreams in Miamisburg for Pete, Kim and Kim's girls. It was fun and the food was great.....Regina sure can cook!!

POTATO SOUP RECIPE

I made sausage and potato soup a few weeks ago and it turned out really well...possibly the best potato soup i've had...so i thought i'd share it on here. If you make it, let me know what you think. Feel free to share recipes of other foods on here too (real food, not roadkill recipes i'm looking at you, darrell, doug and mark). I'm making stuffed pepper soup this weekend, so there might be another recipe coming soon!

ROBIN'S EASILY HOMEMADE SAUSAGE AND POTATO SOUP

1 pkg (1 lb) smoked sausage, sliced
1 pkg Potatoes O'Brien
2 cans chicken broth
3 cups of milk
1 pkg of Idahoan Loaded Baked Potato instant mashed potatoes
Parmesan cheese


In large pot or dutch oven, add potatoes o'brien, chicken broth and sausage slices. Cook on low for 30 to 40 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Add 3 cups of milk and simmer until milk is thoroughly heated. Slowly add instant potatoes, stirring constantly until dissolved (for thicker soups, add most of pkg; for more soup-y thickness, only add about 1/2 of pkg). Cook on low for several more minutes, stirring frequently.
Serve with parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.

This is my recipe I made up so these are the ingredients i used...you can tweak it and make it more to your liking - maybe use diced ham instead of sausage, use garlic flavor instant potatoes instead of loaded baked potato, top with cheddar cheese instead of parmesan. You might want to try it this way first though, it came out really good and the instant potatoes gave it a lot of flavor and texture. This probably made about 6 to 8 servings. Also, i used the whole pkg of instant potatoes and it made it very thick and hearty, almost like a stew.

SWAMP PEOPLE MARATHON!!!!!
