I stayed up way too late last night, chatting with vicarabelling in sf_drama chat. I think I managed to fall asleep around 4am, only to be wakened at 9am by mom reminding me to get up early.

Around 11, we headed to the Big Apple for Chinese food, then we headed to The Grand for the noon showing of Kung Fu Panda. I give it two thumbs up. It was cute, and it made me LOL, and Mason LOVED it.

After the movie, we headed over to Chuck E' Cheese to play games for about an hour, then we stopped by Wal-Mart so I could get french bread and green peas. Afterward, we packed up and headed home around 4.

Once we got home, I went through my mail, washed dishes, and started making a huge pot of white beans and sausage with rice and funfetti cupcakes. miss_kitty_585 came over and we had dinner and now we're watching House.

Tomorrow, I'm off work again, so I plan on finishing up my house work and spending some time doing educational stuff with Mason.

How was YOUR Monday?

What's your favorite meal?

(Feel free to share the recipe if you have it...I'm always looking for new cooking ideas!)


My favorite thing to cook is red beans and rice with tons of andouille sausage. I make them from scratch and usually cook then for about 2 1/2 hours, adding lots of diced onions, celery, and red peppers. I use a ton of Tony Chachere's seasoning, which is the best thing ever created.

I usually serve it with buttery cornbread, and sometimes I'll make some green beans cooked in the diced veggie blend with bacon, just because they are delicious and go with just about anything.


And I wonder why I'm fat. :)
