Toasted Roast Beef on French Rolls
4 French Rolls
1 lb Deli Roast Beef Slices
6 Slices Swiss Cheese
4-6 Thin Slices Red Onion
1 T Stick Butter
Mayo
Cook onion slices (cut in half to make semi-circles) in the butter in a saucepan until semi tender, but not too browned.
Put Mayo on inside (both slices) of the rolls. Place them open faced on a cookie sheet. Put approximately 4 slices of roast beef spread between both sides of each roll. Top with onion slices and then cheese.
Broil on High for approximately 5-8 minutes until the cheese in nicely melted and slightly browned...not too brown or it will be crunchy.
Take off cookie sheet, fold together, slice in half, and enjoy.
I served mine with Applesauce and Corn. I forgot to buy the packet of Au Jus as the store, but it would have been a great addition to this meal...

Not about Food...About Poo
Our septic tank partially collapsed a few weeks ago. It is a crappy situation at our house. We are not backed up, but even after pumping we are full of shit...literally - mostly grey/ground water! Our new septic tank is going to be installed on Friday and we have been instructed to not let any liquids/solids (if you get my drift) go down any drains after 8:30 when the Roto Rooter people come to replace the tank. Friday should be interesting. I am planning on being at home when the crew gets there, but leaving shortly after... Only to return when it is finished so I can pay them (the most crappy part of it all...the paying for it)!
I could handle no running water (when our well pump went out last month) because we could at least put it down the drain (wash hands, use jugs to flush toilets, etc), but ahhh 6 hrs w/out the use of drains?!? These are the moments I thank goodness for living in a modern society! And, I also thank goodness for my husband's job...and that he has one when so many others are out of work.

Breaded Chicken w/Ham and Cheese
Breaded Chicken w/Ham and Cheese
Three large Chicken Breasts
Two Thick Slices of Ham in 1/2" square cuts
Three Slices Provolone Cheese (you could use swiss)
Two Cups Panko
Smash Chicken Breasts with Meat Mallet until they are 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Place cheese and Ham in center of flattened breast. Roll up breast making sure all ham and cheese stay inside. Hold it together with toothpicks. Roll the breasts in panko (I put them into a ziplock and shook them up). Cook in 375 degree oven for 35 minutes or until juices run clear. Don't forget to remove all the toothpicks before trying to eat them!
I served these with Mashed Potatoes, gravy, and green beans. They were a hit with the family and I have been given the go-ahead to serve them again! :P

How Sweet the Sound...
We again have RUNNING WATER in our house. We didn't have anything frozen, our well pump happened die the same time we got a really cold spell. After a few hours of work and a lot of money, we now have running orange water. We will have orange water for a while because the well was stirred up so much, but it doesn't taste bad nor does it make us look jaundice. :D
Thank you to everyone who gave me happy thoughts...next time I need to remember to have you all hope for happy (and cheaper) thoughts too! :P

This weekend brought...
...a Christmas tree hunt in the woods with the family. We found the perfect tree and it will be put up before the end of the week. Our house will be in full Christmas Spirit by Friday evening! :D
...a clean game cupboard. I cleaned and picked it up so that you can actually find a game and get one out to play! And, in the process I found the external hard drive I lost in the move (yeah, we did move here 7 years ago)!
...one completed load of laundry. Actually, I haven't folded it yet, but who counts that as incomplete?
...a warm house with no running water. Thank goodness for cars and the ability to buy jugs of water at walmart (that I will again be refilling today while in town). Thank goodness to good friends who offer their facilities to allow my family some relief from the stinkiness of ourselves.
...a savvy husband who is willing to crawl under the house and attempt to problem solve. I am able to do it too, but I HATE it. He doesn't like it, but will do it; Dom loves it because he gets to help dad and it is a cool location he doesn't get to always go. (He will be venturing under the house again today to try again to get our water flowing.)
Please keep us in your thoughts and maybe we can get some water back into our lives before too long without huge expense. :D

Ham and Bean Soup
Ham and Bean Soup
by Emily
4 thick slices pre-cooked ham cut into 1/2 inch squares
3 cans cannellini beans (white kidney) - rinsed and drained
1/4 large red onion diced
one good sprinkle black pepper
Pour all of the above into a crock pot. Add water until just about 1" more than the other ingredients. Cook for 2 hours on low; followed by 2 hours on high.
Serve. I served mine with peaches, saltines, and sharp cheddar cheese slices on the side. It was FABULOUS if I might brag a little. So simple and so yummy. Sean, who isn't a big bean fan said that I could cook this soup any day of the week and he would devour it! Definitely a hit with my family!
