Sleep, Yes please

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — Serenity @ 4:50 pm

I have not slept in 3 nights now. Conner has been up every night screaming for the duration. At first, the first two nights, he was sick, he had a fever and was unhappy. And i lived with that. Rocking him, nursing him if he wanted, doing whatever i could to get him to sleep. Last night, no fever, no signs of sick other then a bit of a stuffy nose which got much worse as the night went on. But all he did is cry. Cry all flipping night long.  Tony refused to go sleep in the living room. So i have to deal with being so tired im ready to die. No caffine at all, And Tony went to get himself Coffee of course, And Tony in the worlds worst mood and taking it out on me. As if its my fault Conner wouldent sleep. Oh to say nothing of Conner himself. The ryoal grump fuss.

My head is killing me and i have two meetings today. One with Brennans teacher and one with the Missionaries… I am so not up forany of it. But i have to be. I gotta get the house cleaned. Find a way to get Conner to sleep, and maybe nap a bit myself before 1 when Brennan gets home from school.

Conner= Best  birth control in the world.

Chicken Fried Steaks

Chicken Fried steak.
My husband loves chicken fried steak. Its the one thing he can be counted on getting when we go out to eat. So i had to find a recipie to make it myself.
Ingredients.
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 minute steaks
3 tablespoons oil
3/4 cup milk

Directions.

On a sheet of waxed paper combine 1/2 cup flour, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt garlic powder pepper and cayenne. In a shallow bowl, beat eggs an mix in water untill blended. Dip steaks in flour mixture, then in egg mixture, then in flour mixture again. Set aside.

IN 10 inch skillet, eat 1 1/2 teaspoon oil. Cook steaks 2at a time, turning once untill golden brown and cooked through. About 4 mnutes per side. Put steaks on a plate an keep warm. I place them in the microwave and close the door, it holds the heat well.

Whisk remaining 2 teaspoons flour into skillet and add in milk and salt. Cook, mixing continiously untill thickened and smooth. A dash of pepper can be added for exta flavor. Serve steaks with gravy.

Any kind of steaks can be used. Tenderize them by pounding them with a meat mallet to break down tough fibers.
Searve over mashed potatos flavored with chives and evaporated milk. Or As my husband likes french fries made fresh.

And that is the meal idea for today.
