The dreaded dentist.

We both had the dreaded appointments with the dentist this a.m. All we needed was to have our teeth cleaned but it is still nerve racking waiting for him to hit that one sensitive spot in your mouth. Cleaning is sure a lot better now that he uses water instead of the old scraping method. Lucky us, no cavities or bad spots so we can relax until the next appointment in 6 months. We received our goodie bags with a new toothbrush, floss, and toothpaste and since it was noon, we set out to find a place to eat so we could stain our teeth again. There is a new Carl's Jr that opened a few days ago. It is the Green Burrito. I ordered a chicken burrito that turned out to be as big as a dinner plate and Emery ordered 3 small burritos that wouldn't even cover a saucer. He was a little disappointed that they were so little. Everything was really good, but now we need to go back to the dentist for another cleaning job to undo the lunch thing.

Wendy's chili

A friend at McDonald's gave us a recipe for Wendy's chili. You can buy a pretty good size portion for a dollar. We went shopping for the ingredients and I spent yesterday afternoon putting it all together and cooking it for several hours. I had to chop the tomatoes, chop the celery, chop the onions, open several cans and put it in the crockpot. Since that pot was too small I got a bigger one out. It filled right up to the top. I only spent $20 on all that chili that sells for a $1 but I had enough to feed an army. We will be eating chili every day for a week.

My new blog

Well, I can't believe I am on here thanks to Yvonne. This will be exciting reading for you because "We went to McDonald's this a.m." will probably be all I can think of. Anyway, here I am.
