Great Samples!
So I have totally not had time to stay up on my blog...so sorry!
But I wanted to drop a quick line in to say hi, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I hope and pray that all of you have a blessed and best year ever!
On a sampling note, if you want to try some great free samples, visit Smiley360.com. I get to test great products all the time, and it only takes a few minutes per website visit! I'm currently testing O'Keefe's hand cream for them with the free sample they sent me, and it is doing a marvelous job on my hubby's dried out hands. Give it a whirl!
On a cooking / baking note, I've got some delish potato bacon soup simmering in my crock pot. It's the perfect recipe for this dreary December day!
I'll try to post the recipe in a little while (and shop your local farmers' market - we get our bacon, leafy greens and root veggies from local farms - soooooo goooooooooood!!!!)
Blessings to you!

In Memorium.
A crystalline sky,
A dark cloud...
A time of terror,
A sear of pain...
A country united,
A country strong...
The eagle soars,
Our flag flies high...
Beauty from ashes,
God is with us.
Always.
Never forget. I won't. I lived in Bound Brook at the time. I
remember the beautiful blue sky that morning on my way to work, and
thinking how clear it was. I remember the attorney in the office near
me screaming because her husband worked in the towers, and she couldn't
reach him (he was safe, thank God). I remember seeing the towers fall
on TV, because I couldn't stand being at work anymore not knowing what
was happening, so I left. I remember seeing the smoke in the sky, yes,
even from Bound Brook, I could see it. At sunset, it was very
visible...beautifully horrible, because of the distance, the smoke was
threading through the sunset clouds, and the clouds were all colors of
the rainbow. I remember my now-ex inlaws coming over to check on their
son (my now-ex-husband), who had been on his way into the city that day,
to the towers, in fact. He had caught the last PATH train home before
they closed the train lines. I remember my Aunt Paula saying she could
hear the noise from Flight 93 from her Johnstown high school classroom,
and wondering what the sound was, and why the plane was so low. I
remember standing in church that Sunday, weeping. I sit here today, in
tears, remembering.
And I move forward, with the rest of my countrymen and women, and those from around the world who lost loved ones that day; we do NOT give up, and we keep moving forward, we keep the faith. We stand IN faith. We are united. We are Americans. We are God's children, and we stand strong. Always remember. Never forget. Ecclesiastes 3.

Puppy Luv...
It has been a nutsy 5 days here. We have a PUPPY! Wow! Yes, a new puppy.
Our beloved German Shepherd doggie Jake died at the end of January unexpectedly, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts. My husband was heartbroken (he raised Jake from a puppy), and the children were left without their buddy playmate.
The last 2 months have been a healing process for us, and months in which the children have been longing for another pet to play with and love.
Fast track to this last weekend...we went to our local pet store to see what kind of pets they had at the weekly pet adoption. There was a little black Labrador mix female with the saddest eyes just laying there quietly in one of the pens. The kiddies saw her, and fell in love.
5-month old Dixie is loving her new forever home. Her fav place to lay is on the couch, her fav snack is an ice cube, so she can chew it, and bat it around the living room.
My new duties? Getting used to puppyland (WOW! She is ENERGETIC!), primarily. Thankfully, she is mostly housebroken.
Which means, posting every few days has become a new way of life for me, instead of every day.
Never fear, virtual readers! I shall return later this week with more exciting things...maybe a recipe. Maybe a household tip. Maybe a new Dixie story! I'll try to post some pics later of our new puppy. For some reason, pics don't want to upload from this machine.
Later gators!

Crispy Porkchops...From 2 Days Ago!
Yeah....so I'm a bit behind. What can I say? March has roared in like a lion, and it's taken me with it. No time...no time!!! Sorry. :) But hey, you can make these awesome pork chops for dinner tonight or tomorrow! We had them the other night, and they were simply scrumptious. Fork-tender, juicy, and crunchy on the outside.
Ingredients needed:
For marinade
2 cups plain yogurt
2 eggs
4 pork chops (bone-in, thick cut, thin cut, boneless - whatever you want - I used thick cut this time)
For breading:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup wheat bran
Herbs and spices of choice (I used paprika, sage, black pepper, turmeric, garlic powder and dried chopped onion)
First things first...a few hours ahead of cooking time (you'll need at least 3 hours),
Whisk your 2 eggs in a large bowl. Add in plain yogurt, and whisk until blended. Pop your pork chops in, make sure they are covered at least 75%. Cover bowl, and shove in your fridge. Flip the pork chops after about an hour and a half to make sure they are evenly covered.
PLEASE - be aware of raw meat and cross contamination! Clean your work station. Keep your raw meat utensils on a paper towel separate from the rest of your tools! WASH YOUR HANDS!!!!!!!
Let me just say at this point that I would love to add pictures so you can see what I'm doing, but I keep getting an error when I try to upload them. So...SORRY!!!!!!
Now...grab your largest liquid cup measurement tool (a 4-cup one is best). Next, you'll need a gallon storage re-sealable plastic bag. Place the bag inside the measuring cup, and tuck the bag edges over the rim of the cup (here's where the pics would come in HANDY *sigh*)
Add your dry breading ingredients to the bag, and mix them with your hand. Then, add your marinated pork chops, seal the bag and shake, shake, shake! You are essentially doing a shake 'n bake, but all with your own ingredients!!!
Heat up your pan, and add a tbs of extra virgin olive oil. After about 30 seconds, grab a fork, and fork your pork chops out of the bag, and into the pan. (You won't get your hands dirty!!!)
Cook the pork chops on medium heat for the next 5-7 minutes, and then flip them. If you need to add in more oil, go for it. Cook another 5-7 minutes, or until they are no longer pink in the center. (Use your meat thermometer, if you need to).
They should be beautifully crispy, crunchy and golden brown. Remove from skillet, let them rest for a minute, and then slice for serving. Serve with rice, or veggies, pierogies, whatever you choose! These are fork-tender, and mouthwateringly juicy.
Have the kiddies set the table, thank the Lord for your food, and ENJOY!!!!!! (sorry again about no pics - rotten Firefox).
