So what goes on in the head of chef Tom? What kind of foods do I make? Well, I usually do the cooking so nothing real new there. But I thought I might share some of our family meals; just because.....I don't know. Shit! For the hell of it!! Let's start with this week. By the way, these are all dinners. The rest of the meals you're on your own. Sunday- Bowls of chicken noodle soup (cus I was feeling bad), pasta salad, and mixed fruit Monday-- Fish fillets, mixed veggies (corn, carrots, lima, green), mixed fruit Tonight-- BBQ chicken and curly noodles with white cheese sauce (Ragu), and probably some veggies (we buy a lot of small frozen bags of veggies until the garden starts producing.) Meals are pretty basic, usually a meat, veggies, and some pasta/stuffing/potato item. These certain tater-tots we get from Winco are absolutely awesome and they are a very common side. Most meats are cooked on the grill outside which is most nights. One night a week is Papa Murph...

Please remember all those of those brave souls who have given their lives so that we can sit on our ass and think freedom. Our children, heading off to who knows where, to do who knows what. They have no idea what they are getting themselves into nor the ultimate price they may pay. War is stupid and when we fight for false reasons its even worse. But our soldiers don't care. They follow the orders given and suffer the consequences. That's their job and their life. For those who support our troops, or support the war, take your sticker off your car and you go to Iraq and fight! You have no idea what your supporting or what these young kids have to go through. Let's bring em home so we don't have to remember any more on this tragic day. Bring em home so they can enjoy the freedoms they are fighting for. So don't just remember the brave souls who gave the ultimate sacrifice but honor their battles by getting your head out from under the covers and find out ...

So Ang has been chasing lightning strikes the last few days. That involves usually trying to find that wisp of smoke from a tree or something. Today it was a huge Ponderosa and it was so round they had to call in a professional faller with a 36" bar. She said she's never seen anything so big in her entire life come crashing down. Then they chop it up, spray it, etc. Of course nothings close and they really had to hump it in to get to the tree, which was on the side of some mountain, naturally. She has been working 10-15 hours days since Thursday. They'll head back to the tree tomorrow to pick up line and finish any mop up. She sounded really tired and dirty. All she wanted was to cram something in her mouth, take a shower, and crash for the night. So proud of her! Stay safe Ang! I love you.

Still learning this blogger stuff. Its really cool. Sometimes I click on the upper right 'next' and just browse through other people's blogs. Anyway, fixed the comments problem so anyone can comment if they want. I like this blogger so I will be learning and implementing the other things eventually.
