I Made Gravy!!!

My mother starting teaching me how to cook when I was about 13. She said to me, "Ain't no man going to marry you if you can't cook." I'm still not married but I can cook thanks to my momma. She taught me the puriest of Southern cooking, biscuits from scratch, boiling rice, cleaning collards, frying chicken and making gravy. I didn't know gravy even came in a packet til I was in college.lol! Saturday, I made me and the kids chicken, rice and gravy and cabbage. And made that gravy, smooth and creamy, from the chicken pan right for the first time. I've messed a couple of times in the past. So getting right finally was so fabulous!!
Now... don't ask for a recipe because I kinda don't remember the measurements of everything with the gravy...:)

A Decorative Effort by Jamie...

So...yesterday at Le Lion, they were FINALLY getting rid of those damn V-Day flowers from a WEEK ago. They were all looking crazy so I grab some from one of the produce associates.

I'm not a decortive person...but I'm trying!

I rather have things for the kitchen.:)

And look at the final result as I picked away at the dead flowers and tacky baby's breath.

Ain't I 1-800-Flowers...1-800-Bougie Flowers!! lol!!

Review: Be Fine Food Care Evening Sampler...

I bet ya'll think the CVS' in Union are flea markets...but they are not!! I got the Be Fine Food Care Evening Sampler at a Union CVS for 8.99 on clearance about three weeks ago. I'm always trying to find the perfect night ritual, one can rememebr to do. Yes, I go to sleep with makeup on...sometimes.

I also had been eyeing that Be Fine stuff seems like forever till'...it went on sale. Hello! In this sampler there is a Exfoiliating Cleanser, Firming Toner and Night Cream. I expecting to smell like a Cinnabon after I used it.

Suprisenly, for a "food " based line, its fragrance free. The exfoiliating cleanser went on rough at first but because its has brown sugar in it, it disolved into a creamy wash. The only thing about the toner that I didn't like was that it sprayed out. So I ended up spraying it in my hand and patting it into my skin. The night cream wasn't a cream at all, more like a light moisterizer, unscented and felt good to the touch. In the last three weeks( the whole kit has lasted that long) I see my skin very soft and smooth in the morning. I like it and plan on getting the Cleanser and Night Cream in full size to keep in my nightly regimen.

PS-I would like to apologize for the spelling errors...Blogger's ass won't let me use the spell check!
