Well........ I made slop and they ate it

Cheers for me! :aktion033:

Picture this:

I'm sick as heck with the flu. I look like he** and feel like he** and barely shuffeling around with one eye open dragging my blankee in one hand and roll of toilet paper in the other (that's Tennessee Kleenex).

It's a long weekend, no school, and all the kids are here of course! That's a good thing because that way I know mine aren't out stealing cars or cows or anything.

Problem:

I never made it to the store for grocerys. Just had junk food stocked up, but I needed some real kind of food to pass off as dinner.

So here's 7 corpsus that are going to want to eat eventually so what's a mother to do?

I have to find a way to feed a teenage army.

I make slop!

It's so amazing how I can go into my freezer and shovel through my cabinets and come up with some of my concocktions. I fried up some hamburger, chopped up some onion and peppers, added all kinds of spices and tomatoe soup and cooked some noodles and rammed the whole thing together and called it food.

And they ate it and came back for seconds. :488:

I ate it and about puked. :smileypuke:

But they loved it! Too much I guess. They spent another night.

Marty: I call that homemade hamburger helper. I tried to make hamburger helper macaroni the other night. Fried up some ground beef and fixed a box of kraft macaroni then mixed them together. Didn't work. The macaroni was odd tasting this way. Hubby ate it anyway. Don't think he even noticed the difference. :lol:

Wow, Marty I'm on my way over- I'll be the tiny wee piggy shovelling away at the end of the trough!!! I LOVE that kind of food.

Call it Stew and Pasta and everyone's happy.

[SIZE=18pt]We eat that soup all the time. I also just cook up some elbow macaroni and mix it in with just tomato soup. It'a really good with grilled cheese. Even my picky husband eats it, he loves it.[/SIZE]

Just think when you are feeling that poorly that whole herd of people could go to the barn and have your poop scooped and stalls done in no time. Then you could spend the rest of the day holding down the couch. Kind of price they have to pay for sustenance. I will redily admit there have been some foods that came out of my slow cooker might have defied decsription but still tasted good. Just added some fresh bread from the breadmaker and it was a meal. Hope to hear that you are back in the pink in short order.

My Mom used to call that exact dish Goolash! We liked it! We usually put the real green chili in it though.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Oh Marty, I hope you are feeling better soon. The flu is the pits. Lemon tea with honey and a warm blankie is what you need.

I've found that when I throw those "back of the freezer" concoctions together, Darrin is more likely to eat it if I have a cook book (open to any page) sitting out on the counter. :bgrin
