Update For The Week

Today...
we enjoyed a visit from Caroline. She had a day off work and combined a visit to the boyfriend with a stop by our work. Everyone was glad to see her as always. Some of us went to McKenzie's for lunch. Yum -- McKenzie's cheeseburgers! By the way, the $5 special is now on Tues/Thurs instead of Wednesday.

This Week At Work...
I've worked on doing a big mailout. First time we've had a Fulfillment House do a mailout for us; learning something new. Also, went to a building construction committee meeting, conducted a staff meeting, met with someone in Purchasing, assigned some programs to recruiters, scouted a place for a reception, etc. And blah blah blah -- regular stuff for the most part.

Last Sunday...
I went over to Linda and Tom's for a visit. Linda served some really yummy soup. Here's the recipe for her --

Taco Soup

1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning
1 pkg Taco Seasoning (Parade Brand)
1 & 1/2 lbs hamburger meat
2 cans whole kernel corn
2 cans ranch style beans
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can Rotel Original (hot)
2 cans water
"Cook hamburger meat, drain, and mix all ingredients together." Then she had to chuckle as she wrote the next line which is, "Get hot". I guess you could get hot in addition to the soup heating up (hehe). This is the kind of soup that gets better and better after a few hours. Serve it with some yummy tortilla chips. (Also, if you want to kick it up a notch, she says the original recipe calls for two pkgs of Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning and two of the Taco Seasoning.)

Not ReallyThis Week...
but this makes me laugh when I see it and since I read my blog, too, I'm putting it in here. I called out different moods and topics and she gave me an expression for it. If you knew what they were, this would probably be pretty funny to you, too.
