I still got a lot of stuff done, even though I had a problem with my car today.Usually, when something happens to my car, my future hubby’s car will have something happen to it too. (Like getting stuck into a snow bank on Friday night. ) I was so looking forward to going home and playing with my new camera lens today. Unfortunately, my car had to not start, and a guy from the shop had to come and give it a jump start. All because the dang lights were left on. There goes another $45.00 down the drain. A good thing we’re getting bonuses this month.

Tomorrow, we’re having a dinner party at our house. We did a lot of cleaning tonight and I prepped the spinach lasagna rolls early and made these nuts. They’re going on top of a salad with romaine lettuce, mandarin oranges, and dried cranberries. Maybe even a cucumber too. So, all I have to do to tomorrow is toss the salad, put the lasagna rolls in the oven, turn the crock pot on for the fondue, and bake the garlic bread. Having a double oven rocks. And so do these nuts! Almonds are also good for a filling snack.
