My birthday is next month.
If anyone is wondering what to get me, may I suggest the Acme Bat-Man’s Outfit. L-O-V-E the toes.
The full Acme Catalog is available from Dump Trumpet.
Okay reader(s), what is on your Acme Wishlist?
(Note to Fastbackss: ‘member when we were in Philly and they had Acme grocery stores??! I still have my Acme Grape Soda. Oh, and the can of Simpson’s Cherry Bomb soda you brought back from England.)
Uncharacteristic Behavior (for me anyways):
In a shocking twist of fate, I actually pulled a WWSD and opted to start finishing the kitchen BEFORE starting and abandoning the bathroom.
I KNOW!
So I pulled off the last of The Ugly Wallpaper from around the kitchen window, wiped the beer off the ceiling and primed.
I KNOW!
(BTW: Stephanie recommends putting away clean dishes BEFORE removing wallpaper. Just saying.)
While the primer was drying, I removed straggling wallpaper from the bathroom and wiped down the walls and ceiling. ew. You know, for a room that you get clean in, bathrooms are quite dirty.
Then I matched four of the approximately 100 paint chips to the shower curtain and started narrowing down what colors to go with. I haven’t decided if I’m going with two or three colors (it’s a small bathroom and three may be too overwhelming) and if I’m going to paint the cabinet/doors.
Then I got lightheaded and decided to shower and go to bed; which was a very good idea.
Wednesday Night Crock-Pot Recipe: Taco Soup
1 pound of ground protein of your choice (you know, beef/turkey/Boca)
2 cans Pinto Beans (undrained)
1 can corn (undrained)
1 package each of dry Ranch dressing and Taco Seasoning
1/4 cup Italian Dressing (I know it’s weird)
2 cans of tomatoes of your choice (I prefer Del Monte’s tiny diced with Jalapenos)
Dump everything into a working slow cooker and set at low. I freeze my beef so I go for 8 hours on low. I’m guessing it would take less time with thawed flesh.
Top with shredded cheese and sour cream, ifn you want. I ate mine with tortilla chips, but I suppose you can use a spoon.
Peeps is sayin'
