Fajitas

We wanted something quick and easy for dinner, so Hubby got busy in the kitchen and started slicing up some sweet onions and green peppers. Then he marinated a cheap steak that I found at the grocery store. Can you believe they had sirloin steak for $1.99 a pound, while hamburger was $3.59 a pound?

While he was dealing with the steak, I made some seasoned rice and corn on the cob. then I scorched some tortillas to be warm and soft for the fajitas when the steak came off the grill.

When all was said and done, we enjoyed a fantastic meal of fajitas and the whole thing cost less than $8 for the both of us together. Try to beat that price at a restaurant!

Strong Coffee

All my life I have been a tea drinker. My grandparents came to America from London, England, after all!

Well, hubby likes coffee, the stronger the better. So today I surprised him with a bag of ground Starbucks Columbian coffee. He was so excited!

My hubby likes all-you-can-eat buffets

. . and I prefer ordering off the menu.

When we go out to eat, he votes for the “all you can eat” buffet restaurants. He likes the wide variety of foods to pick and choose from.

I enjoy that too, but I usually prefer going to a restaurant that I can order off of the menu. I usually can’t eat the entire meal, and like to bring leftovers home to eat the following day.

I have found that the all-you-can-eat buffets cost more money than ordering off of the menu, and you can’t take leftovers home from the buffet.

Embroidery

I really love the look of embroidered products.  I love the colors, and the texture.  I love to run my hands across the thread.  Whenever I get the chance to buy something that has been embroidered, I try to do it.  My hubby is thinking about starting his own business and has been designing a logo for the business.  We’ve been talking about getting the logo embroidered on some promotional items like sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, and tote bags.  We fouind a website called Threadsmith.com that caters to small businesses; they don’t require a minimum order!  So when we get our logo designed, we are going to go through them to have the logo embroidered on a few items to help us promote the business!

Medicines worked

Thank goodness the antibiotics did their job and my sinus infection has cleared up.  Unfortunately my hubby has come down with it, so I have to take him to the doctor to get him some antibiotics too!  This is the first time in three years that he has come down with a cold.  When he gets sick, he ends up so sick that he is usually sent to the Emergency Room because he gets dehydrated.  It’s hard to get him to drink enough fluids, he just hides in bed under the covers and complains he’s sick and won’t eat or drink.  So he ends up in the ER.  I told him this time I’m not going to put up with that and he’s going to the doctor NOW!
