Look what I made for my school bus......

It's back to school next week so look what I made. I think school buses are pretty boring looking inside. Every year I make decorations to put up on my bus. I like to give the kids something to look at. I made and put together these decorations to use on my school bus. I am still working on other things too. I used mirrored flowers and butterflies with magnets. I used glittered rubber foam and lots of rhinestones to write my name and I use really pretty ribbon to tie it all together.

I make these pencil cans from recycled veggie cans. I paint the cans and add pretty paper and embellishments. I also put Velcro on the bottom so I can put it on my bus without it falling all over the place. I made these cute pen's that have the grades on the top of them. I sell the can's for $5 dollars, if anyone is interested.

Lunch today.....

Lunch today is a BLT......

I used one of my very, very, juicy homegrown tomatoes for this sandwich. Do you see how juicy that tomato is, folks? There is nothing like growing your own tomatoes. This was not picked green to ripen, this was picked vine ripe, huge, huge difference. I took a big basket full of these tomatoes to my ladies group last night and they were glad to have them. I also used crispy Romain Lettuce and crispy Apple Smoked Pepper Bacon with light mayo. This was so delicious. Oh yeah, I used just plain old regular white bread, "gasp," I know, who buy's white bread anymore? I do, why you ask, well because I like it, so there! That's right and I'm not sorry either! I also, use white bread for my homemade meatballs, I put bread slices in the food processor and well-la, I've got bread crumbs and let me tell you, fresh bread crumbs make a world of difference in the meatball world and I've tried Whole Wheat Bread and it just doesn't work, it gives them a funky taste. Listen you healthy eating people out there, don't get your panties in a twist. I don't use white bread that often. I actually use a lot of Whole Wheat Bread, Rye Bread, Pumpernickel Bread, Ezekiel 4:9 Bread, Ciabatta Bread, Rosemary Bread and Italian Bread, okay, the last three are not that healthy you can't expect me to be good all the time people! What am I talking about, I just made a BLT, we are not talking healthy here, when you make a sandwich like this, unless you use turkey bacon, so leave me alone.

Dinner tonight

Dinner tonight is a seared and roasted pork chop marinated in fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, sea salt , cracked black pepper, fresh squeezed lemon juice and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Served with a side of pasta served with roasted Cherry Tomatoes, roasted garlic tossed in wine, chick peas and fresh Basil hit with a little Parmesan Cheese and fresh lemon juice. Very Tasty!

The herbs and tomatoes are from my garden.
