Another post

I left off two topics I wanted to blog about yesterday, so I decided that I would just publish another post. It's nothing important, but I just feel like sharing!

In an earlier post I mentioned the Pioneer Woman and her recipes. I still think she is amazing and that is because last night I made the BEST fried chicken strips ever. I mean Foosacklys (a chicken place local to Mobile) still wins for best chicken fingers, but I think the ones I made last night come in second. They were so good. Once again it was an easy recipe and didn't take too long. The only think you have to wait on is the chicken to soak in buttermilk, but while that it happening it gives you time to mix up the flour and get the grease hot. Josh was a little hesitant at first because he smelled the buttermilk whenever the chicken was soaking. He claimed I was soaking them in sour milk. haha We also had homemade mac n cheese, peas, and I had broccoli. I wish I had taken a picture because the chicken fingers looked as good as they tasted. :] Josh even had a full plate of seconds. The only time he has ever had complete seconds is when I cooked the chicken and cheese casserole. Needless to say, I will definitely be cooking that recipe again.

Rhonda, our robot vacuum cleaner, broke a couple weeks a go, so we had to order a part for her. Luckily she is still under warranty. During the time she was dead we had no way to vacuum our floors. We have a carpet vacuum cleaner, but when I used it on the bare floors it was shooting the sand back at my legs and it hurt. So we decided to purchase a floor vac. It does a great job and picks up sand, which Rhonda wasn't too good at. I missed Rhonda while she was out of service because I was spoiled by pressing a button everyday and coming home to a vacuumed house. However, Rhonda has been disappointing me lately. We think her battery is going bad because she isn't making it back to her dock before she dies, which means she wasn't done with her cycle. So I've been using the floor vac about every other day. It does a great job and it only takes me about 15 minutes to vacuum. Since I've been physically vacuuming more I've noticed just how dirty my house gets in ONE day. Yesterday Rhonda vacuumed and filled herself up with dog hair, dirt, and sand. Today I vacuumed with the floor vac and dog hair, dirt, and sand filled up the canister again! I'm sure you could take a guess at what color the dog hair was..... black. Oh Delta. I have no idea how you have any hair. It's a good thing she's such a good dog because her hair loss issues are no fun!
