this weekend.

this weekend consisted of a reenactment (hot weather. sunburns. getting pulled over for speeding while still in period clothing. and some other very interesting occurrences.) a football game (mosquitoes. and WIN!) and two people with exceedingly strange crooked pinkies (with scary faces drawn on, moreover!). did you have a good one?

PROGRESS!

go look at the progress in the upstairs sewing room!!! it's gorgeous! :) 

happy day after labor day!

and what a lovely extended weekend it was, too. hope you also enjoyed a nice mini holiday! :) not only was I able to attend a football game (someday I WILL learn how this sport works...), and get my hair cut (BANGS!) but there was quite a bit of construction going in the attic! aka upstairs sewing room.

many blessings, cheers, good tidings, etc. to you and yours!

food... :)

tonight was a good food night. I found a recipe for bbq chicken quesadillas (though I can't remember where I found it) and thought I'd try it out! it was yumm.

Barbeque Chicken Quesadillas


onion, sliced (one small onion was about right for two quesadillas)
olive oil
dash salt
dash sugar
chicken, cooked and shredded 
sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
mozzarella cheese, shredded (any kind of cheese you have will do)
barbecue sauce
tortillas


Caramelize the onions: Heat olive oil over medium-low heat (about 1 T to 1 onion), add onions, salt and sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-30 minutes.


Wipe out the skillet from the caramelized onions and heat to medium. Pile onions, shredded chicken and cheese on tortilla. Drip a few dollops of barbecue sauce over it, then top with a second tortilla. Toast quesadillas in skillet for a couple minutes on each side, till cheese is melted and tortillas are lightly browned.


Serve with extra barbecue sauce for dipping, if desired.
