Here is what I have been doing. Sitting at my computer, writing, taking breaks and reading your wonderful comments on my "Cats Out of the Bag" give away. Trying to reply to them but I'm not keeping up. Staggering to bed trying to get some sleep and then starting the process all over again the next day. I haven't been outside since Sunday, I haven't seen the sun, I'm going to be Vitamin D deficient for sure. I managed to cook a pot of Chicken Soup so now Sir Quilt Dude is clucking. Could be he is sick of soup. Ok so I'll make a giant pot of Chili that should get us through till labor day.
Speaking of cooking. I was making some eggs and bacon on Sunday morning (think of it as the last meal before the soup attack) I asked Sir Quilt Dude to "watch the bacon" because I needed to check to see if my eggs were going to kill us (dear lord I don't need to get sick at this time). During the brief time I was googling Egglands Best he managed to burn the bloody bacon. Let me point out 3 things right here:
1. I don't do burned food.
2. You know who does not even know which appliance is the microwave and can't be trusted with a GAS STOVE with 5 burners and 2400BTU's. Seriously, NOT GOOD. I have ruined the man.

3. WHO BURNS BACON!
With my last pieces of bacon headed for the trash I said to him." You need to take over the cooking and the shopping because if I die you are going to starve, I need to take over the finances,bills, and investments because if you die I'm going to be confused!"
He looked at me and walked to the refrigerator and got some milk and his Cheerios. laughing all the way........
When I die you will find my husband at either Coldwater Creek or Kroger looking for a new wife. Bring a picnic he will be hungry.

Cook the bacon in the oven. Doesn't need quite the attention. Learned that from the sister - who learned it when she and her hubby started in the b&b business.
Thank you ever so much for the belly laugh to start this day.....
My sister loves burned bacon. Thanks for the laugh.
Pat I've been following your blog but don't comment very often. I so enjoy each and every post, but this one just made me laugh and laugh. I too do not do burnt food, not hot dogs, toast, and definietly not bacon. As I continued reading, at least you still have a good sense of humor about the situation.
This is funny. Thanks for the laugh. I am fortunate to have a husband who loves to cook. I don't have to cook. I would be the one who'd starve! :-)
Oh Pat, you crack me up. LOL I don't do burned food either. Just can't handle it. Have a great day. Winona
Actually, I don't mind burned bacon...as long as it's not at the "charcoal" stage. LOL
You know me....I don't cook and I only get bacon I can nuke that way I don't stink up the whole house. And I passed on my no cooking skill to my daughters-Sue married an excellent cook. Cooling-highly overrated
My hubby would be totally doomed if I go first, he can't cook or do the finances. I guess he better keep me happy LOL.
Crispy
LOL, sometimes we have to wonder how our husband's survived before we came along.
Oh Pat, you are too funny! Poor Sir Quilt Dude, he better start clipping coupons and going to "the better" fast food places if he expects to survive 'till this book is done. As for Coldwater Creek, since it is a hop and a skip from your house, ask him if they are having any good sales, I need to stock up while the gettin is good. haha! Luv ya!!
Thank you for a huge laugh today! Even my husband saw the humor (and truth) in your tale. His problem will be that he doesn't know where Coldwater Creek is. . .
Mine will just use the cell phone that he never wanted but uses almost more than my son an order take out. He won't starve but he won't cook either!
What a great story!! I can just see him with his bowl of Cheerios, laughing...I'm laughing... I'm crying... He won't go hungry...
bacon?? check out my pickles!..I enjoyed meeting you at the Oxford, Alabama 'Lick Skillet Quilt Guild' meeting in August! I am now a faithful 'follower' of your blog and enjoy it very much. In fact you inspired me to start one..tell me what you think! www.quiltwithdoodlemoochie.blogspot.com
Poor Andy :) He's rather like me. We know when we've got it made. I love anything someone else cooks:)
I have put My Antonia on my to read list. Can't believe that I've never read it.I've wanted to read it, but it hasn't happened.
