First Day of School & Homemade Corn Dogs

Today Adrianna started Kindergarten. I was worried I was going to cry... but nope, not today. Now yesterday, ya, tears were happening. Well, she went in just fine. At first she didn't want me to leave, she was shy and was trying to sit on my lap. I got her to sit by a little girl whose name was similar to hers, but still, she was shy. I stayed for probably 10-15 minutes and talked to her and the little girl next to her, trying to ease the shyness and when I told her I was going to go she was A-O-K.
Yay for first days! ((OK seriously, when I went to kindergarten we didn't have a billion things in the room, I remember desks, a circle rug with the letters of the alphabet and some closet doors where we kept our jackets and backpacks... How do you remember your kindergarten classroom??))

First day smiles!



Lookin a little nervous and a lot too grown up.

So today was supposed to be meatless Monday, but I did not do too well on the planning, plus I wanted to make something cool on the first day of school.
 So.... instead of meatless Monday we ate homemade corn dogs! They were pretty good. Not too impressed because I don't like hot dogs and it used a lot of oil--->>>> unnecessary oil. Well, I did not take a picture of tonight's dinner, oh well, it wasn't picture perfect anyways.

Make again? No, it used too much oil when I could have had my roommate make hot dogs instead (with BACON!) mmm.
Rating:3/5 probably because I am biased against hot dogs. I don't usually eat them.
Times I spilled/dropped things: 1, I dropped a hot dog on the floor.
Lesson learned: I should have made fried fish, w/ hush puppies and coleslaw instead. Corn dogs are not my thing, not even homemade.
Price of dinner: About $7 total. I purchased 1 package of Angus Hot Dogs, 1 thing of canola oil and two baking potatoes. To fry the corn dogs I made a mixture of flour, milk, egg, baking powder, oil and salt and dipped the hot dogs in a tall cup filled with the mixture. It was quick and easy, but I still cannot get over the amount of oil used just for corn dogs. Ick! I mean if I'm going to fry something in almost 2 inches of oil in my large pot I will fry some chicken or some fish... NOT hot dogs. BLEH.

Gotta love it!

God blessed our first day, may he bless the rest of the year as well!
