Chili Cheese Fries With Hot Dogs Again

It's that time of year again. July 13 is National Beans 'n Franks Day and also National French Fry Day so we had Chili Cheese Fries with Hot Dogs again just like we had for the past two years.

As it was Embrace Your Geekness Day yet again I gave Jeremy a big hug as we looked on the internet at a Star Trek Next Generation Bluetooth Communicator Badge. Fun.

Cow Appreciation Day was that day as well. The boys played a game called, "Bulls and Cows." Every time Jr. would mention cows in the game, I would say, "It's Cow Appreciation Day."

Garlic and Fries

April 19 was Garlic Day. I made garlic bread to go along with lasagna that I didn't get pictures of. What I did get pictures of was the beautiful dough after it raised and before I shaped it into french bread loaves. I like baking.

I also got a picture of the ricotta cheese before I used it in the lasagna. The seal on it says EZPEEL. Sigh. I could NOT get any more of that seal peeled off. I just couldn't. So much for Easy Peel. I ended up scooping it out through the section I did get off. Sigh.

April 20 was Cheddar Fries Day. I was going to make a cheddar cheese sauce but I ended up just getting some nacho cheese out of the freezer and using that. Then I thought I'd add some chili to make it a good rounded chili cheese fries side dish.

I also spent I don't know how much time debating whether to run to the store to buy hamburger buns or not. There wasn't time to make hamburger buns and the rolls I made previously were too small for the size of hamburgers we had. I finally decided to use bagels we had in the cupboard. Of course later it finally donned on me- how many times in the past have we used regular bread when we had burgers? Duh. But the bagels worked nicely.

O.K. And I didn't get any pictures but April 21 was Yellow Bat Day and I did check out some books about bats at the library and Jet did look at some.
