Calzones and randomness

I told you all yesterday that I would post a calzone recipe and it is so easy that I shouldn't even call it a recipe!

Calzones

1-2 pizza crust (in the can the roll out kind)

mozzarella cheese

pepperoni

good tomato sauce

I roll the pizza dough out into a large rectangle on a cookie sheet.  I put pepperoni down the middle, make it thick.  Now add as much cheese as you like.  Take one side of the dough and fold it over the cheese, now take the other side and fold over the dough.  Take the long calzone and flip it over so that the seem is on the underneath side of the calzone.  Take a little melted butter and brush it on top, add a little garlic salt, and make a few slits on top.   Bake at 375 for around 10 to 12 minutes, or until it is lightly browned on top.

I serve it with a really good chunky tomato sauce for dipping.  Enjoy!  It takes 3 calzones to feed my family so you might want to buy 3 or 4 packages of dough if you have a big appetite or company.

On to the randomness~

I hate the rain I have told you that 1000 times

It's raining and I doubt we are getting dressed

I get a headache if I don't have coffee the minute I get up

I think that means I am addicted

I know I am addicted

I only drink it black

No sugar!!!

HD drinks it like a girl with cream and sugar

He doesn't think that's funny

I do

I am going to do school with the kids 

They don't know it's Saturday

I love online shopping

I don't have to get dressed and go out in the rain which I hate

I wish it would snow

It does not snow in the south very much

Maybe  it will snow when we are in Ohio for Thanksgiving

I am not looking forward to the holidays without my Grandpa

I want to make it special for my children

I am really struggling

It's time to put up the tree

That might help

I don't like eggs

Our chickens our on strike they have stopped laying

An old farmer told us to put golf balls in the nesting boxes it will make them lay again

I think that's really funny

I am tired of trying to get pregnant

I realize I want to be in control

God needs to be in control he does much better at it than me

I again am struggling with that too

I ripped up our charts

God knows whats best even if it hurts 

I don't want to miss out on the kids I already have thinking about the baby I want

Daisy got a haircut

She looks like Kit Kittredge the American Girl, she loves it

I am going to start school now, Happy Saturday!

Can you hear the jingle bells

I have been listening to Christmas music all day!  I am finally in the holiday mood and need to put up the tree!  I finished all my kids shopping today!  I think the only thing I have left is to buy things for the stockings!

I did most of my shopping online, I really believe I saved time and money this way!  I am looking forward to the boxes rolling in so I can start wrapping!

I am having a small dinner party this evening so I must run.  I am making calzones.  So so easy I will post the recipe tomorrow!

Happy Friday!

Sincerely Fro Me To You ~ Ham

Last Christmas Eve we all gathered at my Grandparents house for our traditional Christmas party and gift exchange.  We always have heavy snacks.  Last year I made a ham and brought some rolls for hot ham and cheese sandwiches with our snacks.  We also had some chicken wing dip, its very good but just a bit on the salty side.  

We enjoyed our party very much eating and having punch and presents.

Then we woke up on Christmas morning and I found my husband with his face so swollen from the ham and salty dip he could barely open his eyes.  It is actually very very funny, I'm thinking how much dip and ham did you eat?

It almost looks like it's just a bad picture but it's not, he is swollen!  Look at this one.

For more funny photo's go to We Are THAT Family.

Almost a good time... Has spread!

Luke woke up this morning, stomach cramping, and he has thrown up already.  It's only 7:22.  I should had realized yesterday afternoon when he took a nap that sickness was stirring under the surface.  HD offered to take the other kids to church, as kind as the offer I am sure they are next so we are watching church on tv.

We didn't make it to the toy store, Luke had a headache, clue number 2.  So we improvised and shopped on line.  The kids took turns in front of the computer.  I found a great website full of learning toys, classic and well made toys at really reasonable prices too.  The site is called Really Great Toys.com I found Playmobil at the best price I've ever seen.  Do you have little boys?  If you do they need some Playmobil!  They sell some of the pirate and knight toys at Toys R Us and at Target.  The store I mentioned has everything.  We ordered the boys toys from the Forestry section which is little hunters and forest rangers, and we ordered them Cowboys and Indians, toys you don't see in the store.

I am at a loss as what to get Daisy.  At 3 she is saying she wants everything she sees and she has so many toys already!  I made the mistake of getting her toys before she was ready more than one time.  We got her a top of the line $200+ kitchen for Christmas when she was 15 months old, she plays with it now but for almost 2 years it sat collecting dust.  Last year we got her a $80 baby doll, a Lee Middleton doll that looks real, the doll is laying in the bottom of a toy bin as we speak.  So ladies what do I buy my daughter, what does a 3 year old girl really need?  She wants an American Girl doll, we got a catalog last week.  She is way to young!  What do you thing?

It's only 37 outside this morning and I am going to have HD start a fire.  Happy Sunday!
