Wedding Registry Shopping

So Kev was NOT going shopping with me for our wedding registry. I've knew this since before we even got engaged. When we would see a couple in Target with a scanner, I'd make reference to us doing that. He let me know that he would not be that guy following me around the store with a scanner. He doesn't really care what we get. I was told to register for what I wanted.

I set both of our registries up online before going into the store. I looked up a list of things to register for and made my list accordingly. I had five sections: kitchen, bath, bedding, cleaning/storage, and decorations ( I really have no idea about these until we get moved into the new house). So, I browsed these items online to see which store had the best product or price. He gave me input on things like bedding and dishes during these Internet surfing sessions. However, you can't tell everything online, so I wanted to browse each store and pick out things like sheets, towels, bath mats. You know Things you need to touch and feel. I asked my mother to go with me and of course she said yes.

We decided to meet last Monday after summer school. We went to Target first. Her job was to put a check by things I found and which store I found it at. My perfect list was written in pencil, categorized, checks by things I had already added to my registries and which store they were at. I asked her if she had a pencil. She didn't. I didn't. I had a small panic attack thinking about her writing on my list with a pen. What if I changed my mind? What if she messed up? I wouldn't be able to erase. Problem solved. We walked over to the school supplies and bought a pack of pencils. I felt much better. I know I have a problem.

While we were browsing my scanner went out, twice. The first time it stopped scanning, I walked all the way to the front and got another one. I scanned two more things and the second scanner went off.  I walkers back up there and the lady apologized and gave me my third scanner. Thank the Lord this one worked the rest of the time! She did give me two apology cards worth $3 when I returned my third scanner.

Our next stop was Bed, Bath, and Beyond. They wanted a lady to walk around with me, I let them know that I appreciated it, but I thought we could handle it. Having lived on my own for so many years and loving to cook, I have lots of kitchen stuff. Really nice and expensive kitchen stuff. I always get something like that for Christmas. If fact my Christmas usually consists of cooking things and money for clothes. 

The last thing was bed pillows. It was getting late and we had been at it all afternoon. When it was time to try out pillows, I just laid on the floor and tried it out! 
I'm so fortunate to have my mom by my side through all of this wedding stuff. I know many people who don't have the privilege or opportunity to spend time like this with their mom.

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Power Outage

Christmas Day we had lots of ice topped off with snow. Our power went out about 4:00 that afternoon. Luckily, I had already made a huge pot of chili. About two hours later, it came back on just long enough for us to eat dinner and shower (since I have a well, I don't get water when there's not electricity). By 10:00 it was out again and that's the last time we had power. I have a fireplace so keeping warm wasn't a problem. Kev split some wood and we were good to go. I pulled the camping cookware down from the attic. I cooked sausage, eggs, and toast for breakfast.  Warmed chili up for lunch. And made grilled chicken and cheese sandwiches for dinner.  I even pulled some cookie dough from the freezer and grilled cookie dough. We had to flip them like pancakes to cook them thoroughly, but they we delicious.  After sleeping on the mattress in front if the fireplace and still no power, we got the ok from his dad to bring all the animals out to his land....

Inspired by Pinterest

I've been wanting to try these Chicken Lasagna Roll-ups I found on Pinterest. Since Kev's been working out of town, I figured it would be a great dish for this week. I could keep some and he could take the rest with him. (I also made Mexican Cornbread too.) Eating out every meal gets old. Anyways. Here is the original recipe. I changed it up some. I mixed together 15 oz. ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, egg, thawed frozen spinach (squeeze water out of it), and chicken (I always use a rotisserie chicken). Seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic, and a little Italian seasoning. I never measure, just add a palmful until it tastes like I want it to.  Mixture I grabbed a handful of the mixture and spread it onto the noodle and rolled it up. Leave a little space at the end so the mixture doesn't gush out when you roll it up. Once all of them are made, I poured the  tomato sauce  I made yesterday over them. I added a little water to my sauce to thin it o...
