Cats & Dogs, People!

Rain, rain, go away!  I thought this hurricane was affecting the Gulf Coast but it seems we've gotten a taste of it, as well.  It POURED all day yesterday.  Serious flooding, the market was filled with 4 ft of water, cars floating down East Bay St, just pure chaos.  Luckily my house is still here, and dry, (for the most part).  They're calling for more rain over the next 2 days.  Ughhhhhhh.  Here's a picture that was circulating around facebook yesterday of 2 guys kayaking down Market St, not photo shopped.  I also saw video of people wake boarding and tubing.  (Imagine what's in that water!  Anyone who's been down by the market knows how those drains smell.  Gross!)

We didn't have our taco Tuesday dinner last night.  The boys were asking for breakfast for dinner, so we had biscuits, bacon, eggs & home fries.  It was tasty.  Tonight I'm making crock pot pork chops.  They are so good!  Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
-boneless pork chops (I use 4, you could use up to 6, nay more than that and I think you'd need to add another can of soup)
-1 can of cream of mushroom soup (I like the one with roasted garlic, but you could do whatever you'd like)
-1 can of cream of chicken soup
-1/2 empty soup can of water
-1 Tbsp of oil
-dash of salt & pepper

Directions:
-heat the oil in a skillet, sprinkle chops with salt & pepper and lightly brown them in the pan (no more than 2 minutes on each side, you want to just brown them, not cook them)
-pour cream of chicken soup into the bottom of the crock pot and mix in water
-place chops in the soup mix
-spread can of cream of mushroom soup over the top of the chops
-cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4 hours
I like to serve it over hot egg noodles, but it would be delicious with mashed potatoes or rice.  The chops practically fall apart when you pull them out, they're so tender.

Today's lunch was Lil' Guppies themed, (in honor of all of the water around).  I remembered a story that Scotty told one of our neighbors at the pool a couple of years ago.  She commented on what a great swimmer he was and asked if he had been taking swimming lessons.  He responded, "Yes, I'm in the little guppies class for beginner swimmers".  Total lie, he's never taken swimming lessons, I have NO IDEA where that came from but it was hilarious. 

Hope you're weather is nice than ours!  Have a great day!
