Cooking with Ben

Today Ben helped me make homemade Chicken Pot Pies.  He did all of the chopping for me.  I have been wanting chicken pot pies  for a long time but I don't like the store bought ones so I decided to try and come up with my own recipe.  It turned out great, I think I will do it again soon.  Ben suggested that we make them for our annual fundraiser dinner for the youth at church in February.

My Birthday

My birthday started out so great.  First worshiping my LORD with Lambs Fellowship, then back home where my son and daughter-in-law had brunch for me.  Sweet potato waffles with bacon.  If that is not good enough my dear husband made a wonderful dinner for me, Tapas. Crab tart, spicy chicken livers, orange marinaded chicken with tomatillo salsa and gucamole.  I have the most wonderful husband and family.  I am very blessed.

Birthday Surprise

On Friday I went with my best and dearest friend Betty  (we have been BF's since we were 11) to a quilt show for one of the guilds she belongs to.  Betty had 11 of the most beautiful quilts in the show, when we got to the last row one of her quilts was hung with the label showing so she told me to go and look at the label.  I was so surprised to read that the quilt was a birthday gift for me.  I know it doesn't show up well in my post but the quilt is in shades of green and has blocks with embroidered shamrocks in it and blocks with Irish verses in it.  The significance is that my given name is Kathleen Flanagan.  I am so blessed to have Betty as my best friend.
