I made burgers, homemade backed beans and parmeason oven fries last night- I thought you might like the recipe:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cut 4 potatoes, lengthwise-strips. Toss in Parmeason cheese, Jane's Crazy Salt, Paprika, onion powder, and garlic( we use this alot around here)and place on an olive-oiled 13X9 inch glass baking pan, turn to coat both sides. Cook 10 minutes at 400 degrees, turn and drizzle more oil. Bake until soft and just a little golden brown.

My friend just got back form a cruise to Mexico and Jamacia- she said that if you had over 100 pounds you had to pay $25.00- people were throwing stuff away- lots of it because they didn't have the extra $25.00 left after the cruise. My friend said that she bought alot of books-read 7 while she was on the cruise- they had finacial books at the ports where they visited. She wants me to go next time. She took a Mexican cooking class in Mexico- and loved it.

We had storms last night and are fixing to have them again- bad lightning, hail, and rain, wind. I am scared of storms. On the upside, I am saving money by taking my cup of ice with me.

I haven't really been saving as much as I should- I've been eating out too much. MOm cooked some pinto beans and I put them in individual containers for 2 meals each. We put them on corn ships with salsa, onions, lettuce, cheese and ranch dressing.

Happy holiday to everyone!! A big thanks to all who have served or are still serving our country. My dear brother-in-law is in Kuwait. I miss him dearly. He said its quiet in that where he is at. He said they have a Harley-Davidson dealership- which is cool because he loves motorcycles.
We are having a cookout tomorrow night- I am working in the am.
