rainy day happenings

today was another rainy day. boo hoo. we did some grocery shopping, i grabbed my usual route 44 vanilla diet coke from sonic, and then we tried to take a stroll through target, but that didn't happen once we saw how full the parking lot was. 

so we went home...

and cooked spicy coconut soup...and made fudge...

and cooked burmese samosas...and made peanut butter balls. 

ohmygoodness. 

someone needs to get us out of the kitchen. 

my hubby and i were actually pondering starting up a cooking/recipe blog together. 

we're brainstorming blog names.

'chubby love' gets my vote. 

any suggestions?

liam was our taste tester for the samosas.

1) hmm...a lil unsure at first.

2) yumm...his eyes are closed...they must be good.

3) time to share the deliciousness...want some?

 and here's what was left after liam got to them.

anyway, i was also spent a little time crafting and made some chalkboard platters/chargers i saw on one of my go-to blogs for craft ideas. i absolutely love them. these are, by far, my favorite of all the things that i've made this holiday season. 

the easy peasy ingredients. 

i got the charger from michaels for a buck 

and the chalkboard paint from home depot for about $10.

yippee skippee.

i'm also going to hot glue a piece of black, satin ribbon on the back so the recipient has an option to hang it somewhere if they'd like.

i'd love to receive one of these cuties!
