Nacho Night

Nacho night was a big hit in my opinion.

Everyone was told to bring Tortilla chips, I'd say we faired nicely, especially since there are more than what's in this photo.  Now we have chips for a while.

Liss brought Cheese dip that had white cheese in it.

Angela brought Spinach Artichoke Dip.  Yum!

Ah, this was my lovely creation.  I didn't bring any home.

Chicken toppings

Hamburger toppings

Black Olives

Fajita meat

Jalapenos

Sour Cream

And regular plain nacho cheese

Wonder what the hours are??

Memaw brought Cherry Cobbler.  Yum!  She kept apologizing if it wasn't sweet enough and I kept giving her fits about putting down my cherry tree :)

And it cracked me up where a chip fell (look under the crockpot lid)

And it was a lovely, chilly, rainy night.

Asian Themed night.

Hubby and I weren't sure we were going to be able to make Tuesday's at the Shack last week because my grandma had surgery on her leg after falling.  After we left the hospital we ran home so I could change clothes and I walked into the shack eating a Popsicle.  They gave me fits so I turned around and acted like I was going to walk out.

I thought the joke was appropriate for the Shack since the answer is "Patty". :)

Since we weren't sure we were going to make it, sadly we didn't bring anything with us to eat.  Never fear though, there was definitely enough food still!  Patty compiled the stuff for Stir Fry and the guys cooked it for her.  Some said there was a lot of pepper but I thought it was great!

Hello Yum Stir Fry!

Memaw made Shrimp LoMein.  Very good.  She kind of made her own recipe up as she went.  Said she probably couldn't duplicate it if she tried... lol.

Lissa made this Asian salad.

Tausha brought Egg Drop Soup.  Everyone said the fried wanton's bits were excellent.

Yeah, so the Twizzlers sitting on the table cracked me up.  I'm not really sure why they were sitting there....

There was mixed reviews on how hot the peanuts actually were.  Some said smokin, others said they were just fine.  I didn't try any.

Then Memaw made this fantastic Cheesecake.  OMG, I could have eaten the whole thing by myself.  She joked the night before when she came to see my grandma at the hospital that if we didn't show up, she'd bring the leftovers to us.  There were absolutely NO leftovers.  In fact she was going to save my grandma a piece, but there wasn't any left so the next day she made another one so Grandma could have a piece too.

Darren's pooches were in the bed of his truck and it was funny because every now and again you'd hear one growl at the other.

So this week's theme is Nachos.  As in Nacho cheese... ha!  Can't wait to see what appears tonight!

Breakfast!

Hubby and I were actually able to make it to a Tuesday night dinner up at the shack this week.  It cracks me up because the theme was Breakfast which was what the theme for our Sunday Night Dinner was.  Great Minds think a like.  There was some fabulous food there too I must say!

These biscuits were out of this world good.  Supposedly there was heavy cream involved, how can you go wrong there?!?!  Just don't tell the scales in the morning!

I can't remember if my Sister in law brought this or her mother in law made this but YUM!  That's all!

My mother-in-law made cinnamon rolls.  One side (I think the left) were chocolate and the other were regular.

And then we had another breakfast casserole that either my SIL or her MIL brought.

And NO dinner is complete without a singing/walking turtle!  Heck yeah!  We know how to bring it here in MO!
