1. Lyric Challenge: Beautiful Dreamer

   December 31, 2009 by Jodiann aka Bean

    

   First off, Please keep my friend Andrea, and fellow designer at DSO in your thoughts and prayers. Her mother died recently and she and her family are in dear need of healing. Read on…

   ____

   Christmas at our house is winding down. Its was a great ride still feeling the afterglow. I am starting to take decorations down and give away the ones we didn’t use this year. I think the taking down and giving away is my favorite part this year. It so slow and comfortable. With the boxes stacked all around I can say for sure…Christmas stuff GROWS! LOL!

   I see that Bunny did an retrospective of the year at her blog and I was thinking what a great idea that was, yet I am going to pass. I am not good as summing up. I would just write it all over again! Except longer! HOOT!! For those who can do it…its great!!

   Looking ahead I can do. LOL! For me it starts in October. That is when I plan homeschool for the next few months and start thinking about the new year coming up. So I have a while to think it all through. Yet, its this lovely between time from Christmas to New Years pulls all those little ideas together into a plan of sorts. Making resolutions has been unpopular of late, I still make them.  I guess the reason I still like making resolutions is I only make them for 3 months and not the whole year. This helps me. I can’t really process an entire year ahead and turn it into the daily commitment to change. Its overwhelming. The idea is to help myself be happy by changing a few things not giving myself more to worry about. So I try to keep that in mind. I try some new things on for size for the next 3 months and if they work for me I keep doing them, if not I say goodbye without feeling guilty. Some things only take 3 months to change anyway so why try to keep doing them for a whole year?

   These are changes that will make my life more joyful over the next 3 months. At the end of March I will check these changes and see if they are worth sticking with.

   • I resolve to drink more water. I will keep a glass, cup, jug of water within arms reach for the next 3 months.
   • I will throw out or give away all clothing that does not fit me or look good on me, including my favorite garden shoes with the holes, but not my ugly garden hats. They stay.
   • I resolve to replace some of what I get rid of a little at a time for the next 3 months with only clothing that makes me feel great!
   • I resolve to take a morning walk/run outside 3 times a week for the next 3 months. Camera optional.
   • I resolve to set study assignments for my sons during my walks so I don’t blow off a walk because I should be schooling.
   • I resolve to write only ONE sticking my nose in email a day for the next 3 months AND this one email will only include ONE piece of unsolicited advice. Period.
   • If someone asks for my opinion all bets are off! LOL! 
   • I give myself permission to pontificate liberally on this blog! HOOT!

   Tomorrow is there is a BIG SECRET SOMETHING happening at DSO. I can’t tell you what it is, but I can tell you to its only for one day and its includes a truckload of free stuff!! Stop by here tomorrow to get the scoop or Checkout the DSO blog for full info starting tomorrow Morning CST.

   I am a secret blabber, so I will save myself the temptation of blabbing and stop talking about this now…

   Lyric Challenge January : Beautiful Dreamer

   I love this song, and chances are everyone has heard it. Its pretty famous in music boxes. Only recently did I know it has lyrics. My husband was whistling something similar the other week and it got me thinking about something lively I had heard in a western movie saloon scene and that got me thinking about Silverado my hands down favorite movie. And that lead to my remembering Stephen Foster, the composer.  I knew only a little about him So I looked him up. This was his most famous song. I have such a soft spot for the quiet artist type, Emerson, e.e. cummings, Poe, and Stephen Foster fits right in with them.

    

   Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
   Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
   Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day,
   Lull’d by the moonlight have all pass’d away!

    
   Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
   List while I woo thee with soft melody;
   Gone are the cares of life’s busy throng,
   Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
   Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

   Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea
   Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelie;
   Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
   Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.

   Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
   List while I woo thee with soft melody;
   Gone are the cares of life’s busy throng,
   Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
   Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

   Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
   E’en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
   Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
   Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
   Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

3. Almost There~

   December 23, 2009 by Jodiann aka Bean

   Its the Day Before The Day Before Christmas! Christmas Eve, Eve-Day! BWAH!! I am so excited to be entering into the hand clapping excitement of “almost Christmas” WEEEEEEEEE!

   If you are not clapping your hands with glee, more like stomping your feet in frustration. I have been there sisters and brothers! I can testify to the sad sack Christmas, the rip your hair our Christmas and the I give up Christmas!   Check out Flylady and start smiling!

   We did some cooking and baking yesterday and possibly more today. It was a calm day for the most part. A last minute trip to the grocery had us playing bumper cars for a bit, but the bell ringers were out and even though we could have worn shorts it was a beautiful pre-Christmas Day.

   At home, Nathan and I made Chex Mix, Cheese Dip, Cheese Balls, Veggie Pate’ and Amish Pudding yesterday afternoon. Okay, I did the last two on my own because Nathan lost interest in it along the way, but that was cool. I needed a little alone time with my mixer. Baby I missed you! LOL!

   I would like to make  blueberry pie-lettes, and mix some cookie doughs, bake some and sock some away to cook tomorrow. But if it doesn’t happen or only some gets done…I am okay with it.  I put off this baking thing to work with the DSO team more closely leading up to Christmas and I don’t regret it. I would if I rushed to make things happen ( like cookies) at the last minute. So I am not rushing! HOOT!

   It was a wonderful day yesterday, warm,  so we opened the doors and windows to vent the heat we were making in the kitchen. Georgie, our guinea hen came in the door a bit to stand on the entry tile and get out of the wind. It WAS blowy out. The southies were blowing up a little moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and it felt good! Poor Georgie-Girl she tumbled over a few times in the yard that I saw! LOL! That got her feathers all out of place and she looked perfectly indignant about it! I set her up with a lawn chair just outside the door so she didn’t have to move every time a dog went in and out. I got a lot accomplished not having to keep letting them in and out. What a great idea it was to leave the doors open. Birds singing, wind blowing. It was yummy! I think I will do that again today.

   Veggie Pate’

   

   I thought this recipe up when the kids were first learning to help me in the kitchen hadn’t used it since. So I found it bland this time around. More garlic perhaps or some other spice. But this is how they liked it back then. *grin* I am going to give it a day in the refer to see if the flavors just needed to mature. I can’t remember the details of how far ahead we made this one…all those years ago! LOL!

   • 1 Cup Ground Pecans (kids can beat nuts in plastic bag with rolling pin)
   • 2 Cups Frozen Broccoli tips, thawed, diced. ( kids can run the microwave to thaw)
   • 3 Hard Boiled Eggs, diced fine. ( kids can lower eggs into water with ladle)
   • 1 large yellow onion, coarse chopped. ( kids can leave room while you cut! LOL!)
   • 8 ounces of Mushrooms.
   • 2 Tablespoons of Garlic ( 3 cloves) diced.
   • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil.
   • Lemon.
   • Salt/Pepper.
   • Dash of Worcestershire Sauce
   • 4 Tablespoons Mayonnaise. See this post for Homemade Mayo

   When teaching small children to cook, chop onions before inviting them to the kitchen.

   1. Bring salted water to a rapid, rolling boil. Add room temperature eggs. Cover. Stop heat. Time for 13 minutes for hard boiled.  Drain and cool. Peel off the shells, rinse. Dice.

   2. While the water is boiling get out the food processor or your handy dandy knife. Dice Broccoli, Onions, Garlic. Dump into a large bowl. Kids can learn to cut or if they are too young for knives run the food processor. Squeeze lemon juice onto all this chopped stuff.

   

   3. Start a skillet on the stovetop with the olive oil. Saute’ onion till translucent, then add Mushrooms. Salt and Pepper.  Kids can dump in Mushrooms.

   

   4. Eggs should be ready to cool in the sink about now. Dump the boiling water out, fill will cool water and set in the sink.

   5. Finish with the mushrooms and set them aside to cool slightly.

   6. Peel Eggs.

   7. Dump Mushrooms/Onions into food processor, chop fine.  or chop fine on cutting board. Dump into large bowl with all the rest.

   8. Mix all. Add Mayo. Mix again. Add Worcestershire Sauce. Mix again.

   9. Press mixture into small bowl.

   

   10. Cover with plate. Hold down with Jar of Rocks! LOL! These rock are ones Jack and the boys have found and gifted me over the years.  They are love rocks. *grin*

   

   Refrigerate. Turn the bowl upside-down on a plate large enough to hold it and crackers to serve buffet style.  To pre-top crackers for fast eating…Press it into a plastic bag, press out air. Refrigerate until needed. Snip corner of bag and squeeze onto crackers pastry bag style. Keeps in the fridge 3-7 days. Do not freeze.

   A messy cook? ME! LOL! You bet you buns!!

   Happy Christmas Preps Sweet Friends!

4. Perspective on Perfectionism

   December 22, 2009 by Jodiann aka Bean

    

   I am breaking a rule. Flylady asks that we not share these emails outside of the Flylady Big Tent Group. I apologize to Kelly who wrote it and Flylady who asked me not to share it. This is gold and you need to see it and I need to save it to read over and over.

    

   Dear Friends,
   As we are Cruising through the Holidays we need to make
   sure that we keep a few things in perspective. Perfectionism. Ahh
   there it is that terrible "P" word. How do we keep our perspective
   about our own perfectionism. There are so many of us that don’t
   believe we can possibly be perfectionists. I mean we are SHEs!! ( sidetracked home executives) We don’t worry about being perfect, we are just trying to survive! Right? WRONG! There is something about the Holiday season that makes us want to jump through hoops that we would never aim for any other time of year.

   We scour through magazines looking for new and exciting ways to prepare a turkey. We love watching those DIY (Do It Yourself) television shows on how to make an oh so lovely centerpiece. We aspire to making the cutest and tastiest holiday cookies – ever!! OK, I could go on and on but the reality is this,

   a turkey is a turkey and most people really prefer their holiday meals the way they are used to. A lovely centerpiece? Sure we all would love to have a centerpiece for our holiday table that makes our guests just gush in awe and amazement but in reality let’s aim for our dining room tables being set and ready before the turkey is out of the oven.

   Holiday cookies – the last time I checked I am always thrilled to just have holiday cookies that are baked by me and not the local bakery because I could not find the time. As for them being the cutest ever, well, I’ll settle for delicious over cute. There is nothing wrong with wanting a great holiday season and all the trimmings that we can handle. Keeping your perspective is the key.

   • If you are going to stay up too late at night, not getting enough
     sleep just so you can re-arrange the dried holly berries and leaves for your centerpiece – you might have lost perspective.
   • If you are spending time and money that you can’t afford on the cutest cookies ever – you might have lost perspective.
   • If you are not letting your children participate in the decorating for the holidays because they don’t do it "right – you might have lost perspective.
   • If you are yelling at your kids because you have lost your patience for the very last time over spilled sprinkles for the cookies – you might have lost perspective.
   • If you have gone behind your family and have re-done the Holiday decorations because they weren’t what YOU wanted them to be – you might have lost perspective.
   • If you have spent a hundred dollars on Holiday magazines that will show you the perfect table setting, recipes, and gifts for this year -you might have lost perspective.
   • If you are rolling your eyes and sighing at your husband because he just won’t help you do anything (because you haven’t actually told him what you need) – you might have lost perspective.

   I think by now you might have gotten the point. FLYing will get you
   well on you way to having a more peaceful and joyous Holiday season.
   Loving yourself enough to get good rest. Loving yourself enough to
   know that there are NO perfect holidays. Norman Rockwell had to paint the perfect Holiday scene because in reality, we are real people with real lives that make up real families that are not perfect! FLYing
   means keeping your perspective close at heart and perfectionism at
   arms length!
   Love,
   Kelly

   We decorated our little Holly Bush for Christmas here are some snaps.

   

    

   

   Now just so you don’t think we are perfect…lol! Here is what our sweet baby Holly “tree” looks like when we back up and snap a photo! HOOT! 

   

   Reminds me of the famous Charlie Brown Christmas Tree, listing to one side before going down under the weight of the ornaments! LOL! 

   Say Hi to Andrew who manages to get in most pictures!

   Hugs and Kisses!

5. Glazed Kiebasa Pictures

   December 20, 2009 by Jodiann aka Bean

    

   Well I did end up making this after I said I didn’t have time. Turns out, my husband and children EAT everyday! So I need to cook oh, everyday! LOL!

   I took some pictures while I went.

   So let’s try this again with pictures this time…

   2 lbs kielbasa
   12 ounces ginger ale

   

   Directions
   1. Cut kielbasa into 2-inch slices. Place in a large skillet with the ginger ale (regular, this does not work with diet ginger ale).

   
   2. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium. Do not cover pan.
   3. After 15 to 20 minutes, ginger ale will be reduced and start to caramelize.

   
   4. WATCH CAREFULLY because you don’t want it to burn.
   5. At this point, keep stirring until chunks are glazed.
   6. Serve on a platter with toothpicks inserted. They are sticky and yummy!
   Serves 12

   I turned this into a meal for my hungry men by adding rice.

   

   Well now I feel better. A post without pictures is like a day without sunshine!

   Burp!

6. Glazed Kielbasa Bites

   by Jodiann aka Bean

   Hey Y’all!

   Sorry I missed you yesterday! I thought about you often through the day, but got caught up to go shopping with Jack. We had some banking to do and usually we eat at our favorite breakfast stop…The Waffle House when we go to the bank! Its SO us, the people there are so friendly and they can’t stop giggling about something. Recently, it was pig tail day and each member of the staff did their hair in pig tails and those who didn’t got messed with until they did!

   Anyway, we skipped the Waffle House this time around and went to the plant nursery. I used to pack and unpack an artificial tree every year, but I wanted something I could plant in the yard. So we switched to live rooted trees quite a few years ago. Well, I killed them all. Year after year they just dried up and blew away, no matter what I did to save them. ( its our soil and water — too alkaline, can’t grow azaleas either, boo hoo!) So a few years back we started buying fruit trees and decorating them instead. Then planting them in the yard afterwards. Last year there were no fruit trees to be found so I bought two giant camellias.  This year no camellias no fruit trees. So I bought a holly bush. We will see if it can grow in our yard. Jack suggests we get a small pine for the house and keep it indoors. Controlling the soil and water better I might be able to keep one alive! We searched high and low but this close to Christmas its unlikely to find a live rooted Christmas tree. I think that is a great idea! I will keep looking. Some folks actually bring their live rooted tree BACK to the store for a refund after Christmas, so we might get lucky.

   I am SO envious of our neighbors down the hill, they have a side yard full of pine trees and each year a new one appears. I drive by coveting their pine forest! LOL! SO pretty!

   Anyway, we made Queso Dip together when we returned and dragged the boys upstairs to watch The Shining. Which scared the poo out of me, but they were largely unaffected ( old movie) Jack Nicholson eyebrows gave them the creeps, but don’t they always! LOL! My mini-Christmas gift to them was to watch a couple of movies that would scare my pants off. I thought The Shining would be a scary one, since I had never seen it. What is it about the full frontal naked chick in every horror movie?…okay I’ve watched only two and there was a completely naked chicks in each one!   Is that a given in every horror flick?

   Well, I wanted to make this recipe for you and take pictures because last time was a blast with all that extra attention from the dogs…they love their meaties! But since I lollygagged yesterday I will just post the recipe and you all let me know what you think if you try it, okay? 

   Glazed Kielbasa Bites by Elaine Ann at Recipezaar

   2 lbs kielbasa
   12 ounces ginger ale
   Directions
   1. Cut kielbasa into 2-inch slices. (I cut on the diagonal because I like more surface to get crispy) Place in a large skillet with the ginger ale (regular, this does not work with diet ginger ale).
   2. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to medium. Do not cover pan.
   3. After 15 to 20 minutes, ginger ale will be reduced and start to caramelize.
   4. WATCH CAREFULLY because you don’t want it to burn.
   5. At this point, keep stirring until chunks are glazed.
   6. Serve on a platter with toothpicks inserted.

   They are sticky and yummy!

    
   Serves 12

   _______

   Diana has some cardboard shapes coming out, could be after Christmas. Man! You gotta try these when they post to the store. I had a blast yesterday playing with them. Could be ANOTHER reason why I didn’t blog yesterday like I promised. Yeehaw! I love my job! Its like Kindergarten, play a little, snack, play some more, talk to friends, get presents, play a bit more, make something. Eat Paste. Whoops! I don’t eat paste anymore, but everything else is pretty much the same! HOOT!

   Happy Christmas Blog-Honeys!!

7. Little Meaties

   December 18, 2009 by Jodiann aka Bean

    

   If anyone is a fan of  the WEEDS intro song…

   …well now you can sing it with new words.

   ___…___

   Little Smokies on a toothpick,

   Little Smokies made of beefy butts,

   Little Smokies on a toothpick and they all taste just the same.

   They are greasy and they’re salty and filled with weird preservatives.

   Little Smokies with d’chemicals and they all taste just the same.

   My Favorite version of the weeds intro…

    

   Didn’t I promise you a recipe today! Ahhhh, yes! Yes I did! This is a heart attack waiting to happen, but they grew on my family so I am sharing the recipe, take a walk after eating!!

   Smokie Cheese Cherries!

   

   • 1 package of Lil’Smokies
   • 1 Jar of Maraschino Cherries
   • 1/3 block of Sharp Cheddar Cheese
   • Toothpicks

   Re-heat the smokies ( they are precooked) in a skillet with nothing but the juice in the package, takes about 3 minutes. While the smokies heat, drain the Cherries, and chop the cheese into little squares. I make REALLY little squares. Cheddar is a strong. I have seen BIG chunks. So do what feels good! LOL!

   Assemble like so …while singing the song I wrote…

   

   Eat’um!  or  tease your dogs.

   

   Dove witnessing my cruelty!

   

   back to front, Andrew, Charlie, Parker, Dove waiting in line for their NOM-NOM

   Variations…

   Cheese Cherry Smokie Cherry  

   Smokie Cherry Cherry

   Smokie Double Cheese

   Smokie, Smokie, Double Cheese Double Cherry

   Now that you all know how to make nails for your coffins, check out this sale that Kim  is having. Such a good idea…a Christmas Sale. I wish I had thought of it, but I only have 3 Christmas things to sell  and she has TONS!! I don’t think she sleeps, just props herself up in a corner like a broom for a few minutes then gets back to it! I draw the line at sleeping standing up! LOL!

   

   Both her affiliated stores are involved in this sale, so be sure to check out both. You will find Personal Use items as well and Commercial Use goodies at DSO and All Kim’s Commercial Use items in one convenient bunch at The Vault. Remember this is not just Christmas Stuff, but ALL her products over a dollar. So run don’t walk!

   Oh! That reminds me of a great song by The Ventures. Well I was always in love with the Hardcore cover by JFA, but the Ventures started it all and have the vintage cred.

   My brother, Dave had a garage band when we were kids. They  played this one over and over and OVER…LOVE it!

   oooh! I have a shout out to give to Shannon she used my Snow Styles for the background on her Christmas card this year and I am just tickled!

   

   That is MY Stine-y-bean,  Kristine’s kit, Festive for the embelishments.

   

   This pic does no justice to her kit, go see it big…really cute! You will want it BAD!

   Tomorrow I will post 1 more more meat snacks recipe! LOL! Glazed Keilbasa Bites! Another really easy one but this time its meat and ginger ale! I know sounds SO wrong, but they taste SO right!

   Gotta love those meaties! WHOO HOO!

   Christmas Hugs!

8. Christmas Cookin’

   December 17, 2009 by Jodiann aka Bean

    

   Gearing up today for Christmas Eating with my pre-shopping, shopping expedition! Weeee! I go 2 weeks out to get the stuff in need and 1 week out for the stuff I forgot! LOL!

   After making a giant meal for Thanksgiving and watching all the appetizers go first and never make it to leftovers…. Some never made it to the table…  I started thinking and watching what leftovers we didn’t eat. We have no trouble polishing off HAM!~ LOL! None of the side dishes got fully eaten before they went bad. Noticing what got scarfed up first. We are going to keep it simple for Christmas.

   Welcome to the Cates Finger Food Christmas!!

   I will still bake a Ham, Mash Potatoes and Gravy, but the rest will be finger foods. Its going to be so much fun building these little yummies with my emerging Man-cooks! Its all simply prep and very little to cook on the day and then we are going to have another video game festival, this time without me stuck in the kitchen so long, prepping and cleaning up, calling out, “…be right there, I have to watch the casseroles 5 more minutes!”

   Then we all gather around for a big meal, we really don’t want since we snacked all day, then there is clean up…

   …For the birds! I want to be playing, man!

   So far the idea is going over well. Its how we eat anyway, small meals, lots of snacks. I am reminded of the movie MERMAIDS where the mom only made finger foods and how that was frowned upon. HOOT! I think she was on to something!

   So far this is the list…

   • Deviled Eggs
   • Smokie Cheese Cherries
   • Glazed Kielbasa Bites
   • Vegetarian Pate’
   • Pimento Cheese Crackers
   • Sweet Sour Meatballs

    

   

   Jodiann’s Deviled Eggs

   Homemade Mayo:

9. 2 egg yolks, room temperature
10. garlic powder
11. 1/2 cup olive oil
12. salt and pepper
13. 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
15. 13 eggs ( one for the cook! LOL!)
16. 1 shallot or onion, minced
17. celery salt
18. yellow curry

Directions

1. mayo, beat the egg yolks with a pinch of garlic powder in a medium bowl with an electric mixer or hand blender. Or use food processor. Slowly blend in the oil, one tablespoon at a time while mixing constantly. Continue to add oil until the consistency is a little thicker than regular mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in the wine vinegar 1 teaspoon at a time. Go slow, this will thin the mayonnaise a bit. I often don’t use all  the vinegar.
2. Bring salted water to a rapid, rolling boil. Add room temperature eggs. Cover. Stop heat. Time for 13 minutes for hard boiled.  Drain and cool. Peel off the shells, rinse. Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks, and place them into a medium bowl. Place the egg whites on a serving plate. If an egg rips I eat it! Hoot!
3. To the yolks, add shallot/onion, less than a 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise, a pinch of celery salt, a pinch of curry. Mix until well blended. Mixture should be as stiff as frosting. If the mixture seems dry, stir in more mayonnaise, but be careful a little goes a long way. Spoon into large plastic bag, use like a pastry bag, snip off the tip and squirt the mix into egg white halves. Lightly sprinkle with curry. Chill or serve.

 

Tune in tomorrow for  Smokie Cheese Cherries! Especially if you have little kids. These are fun to make and kids love them! Learned this one from my Dear Janie! Hey Janie! Love you!

Happy Christmas!
