Make That A Double!!!!!

January 19, 2010 By Nicole 3 Comments

Make that a double!!!!!! My last drink was…..last year. Then I was having my good days and…….Now, after a major relapse……Make that a double!!!!!

Starbucks- Welcome to Starbucks. Can I take your order?

Me- Give me! 2 Venti Carmel Frappuccinos.(Don’t look at me like that)

I’ll have one now. The other one is for later.(later is now while I’m typing this post)

I was doing fine and dandy until the pressure & stress, sent me back into another relapse. That’s usually how it goes. I’m doing fine and then all Hell breaks loose. The pressure is on.. Then, I break under it.

I know I could have went to the store and brought more smoothie ingredients. But noooooooo. I had to listen to the call of the Frap.

Listen to her(my daughter). She just asked, “you have another one?” Don’t question me little girl!!!!!! I can stop when I want to. I really can(rolling my eyes).

I know. I’ll get on Twitter and type in #Starbucks Support Group. Aw. That’s right the don’t freakin listen.

After I finish this one, I’ll start over again tomorrow. Yeah, Yeah. I’m gonna start over fresh tomorrow but, I’m gonna finish this Frappuccinos first.

Help! Mamas on Strack!!!!!!

Andys Fish Fry Seasoning

January 17, 2010 By Nicole 9 Comments

Just wanted to share with you one of our family “must have” in the kitchen cabinet. Andy’s Fish seasoning is the “BOMB!” I started using this seasoning 2 years ago while on vacation. Where we went we had to bring our own grocery. With a family of 5, it helps us cut down on the costs. Also we had to make sure we weren’t bringing a whole lot of grocery. Otherwise I would have to bring: cornmeal, flour & seasonings along. So, not only does the Andy’s seasoning help us cut down on cost it’s also Convenient. With a capital “C”.

Any-who, we’ve been fans every since. This is how I use it:
I take a Ziploc bag. Pour in the seasoning then place my fish in the bag, zip it up and shake.
Place my battered fish in very hot cooking oil & fry.

TIP: How do you know when fish is completely done? When it floats.

When fish is done. Take it out hot oil and place on a paper towel so that the oil will drain.

TIP: What is the best oil to use? Oil that has been used at least once. (drain oil after first use and use at least 1 more time. It helps fish to fry really well.)

If you too are a fish lover next time you’re in the grocery store pick up a pack. You will not be disappointed. When I checked out the website, I found out that they also have it for chicken and seafood. That’ll be our next purchase. We get ours from WalMart (cost approx: $2.50 sorry threw away the receipt) and they only carry the fish seasoning. I was using this seasoning on my fish, shrimp, chicken & fried green tomatoes. One bag was able to make my family of 5 both of these meals.

This is the fried chicken

Disclosure: This is the view of my family. We were not paid by Andy’s nor were we given the product to test. This is one of our very own favorites.
