Sunday Chat – Can I Paint this Shit Yesterday, Possible Tag Along Today

chat-sunday

Happy Sunday!

Another weekend nearly at an end.  Time just goes by way too fast.  Soon my trip will over and I’ll be home again.  And I have not even left for my trip yet. lol

Yesterday, I was in a chill mood.  I got a few things done around the house and I also recorded a video that started during the day and ended at night. lol  It was my very fun and super relaxing Can I Paint This Shit video.  I am loving that series because it allows me to test different things that I might not have done before.

Not too much else to talk about.  I am not following my schedule this week so I will record whatever I happen to feel like recording.  I must go out for bread for my mother so maybe a tag along is in the near future!

Have a great Sunday!

Darlene
XOXO

BLT Pasta Salad Recipe

blt pasta salad recipe darlene michaud

BLT Pasta Salad Recipe

Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

INGREDIENTS:

1 package (7 oz) uncooked rotini pasta (or any shape)
8 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 teaspoons sugar
1 large tomato, seeded, chopped (1 cup)
4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
4 cups thinly shredded iceberg lettuce

Darlene’s Tips:  This makes a party size salad. I bet it will be a big hit at the next barbecue you serve it at!  You can always adjust to make smaller portions.  And if you don’t feel like cooking the bacon, use pre-cooked or you could even toss in a jar of real bacon bits. And you can use sweet onions instead of green onions if you want. Always adjust to your liking. There are no rules with recipes!

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1:  Cook pasta as directed on package. Drain; rinse with cold water to cool. Drain well.

Step 2:  Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Drain on paper towels; set aside.

Step 3:  In large bowl, stir together mayonnaise and sugar with whisk until smooth. Stir pasta into mayonnaise mixture.

Step 4:  Gently stir in bacon, tomato, and green onions. Stir in lettuce just before serving.

Saturday Chat – How My Late Husband, Andy, is Helping Me with My Youtube Channel

chat-saturday

Happy Saturday!

I woke up in a fabulous mood!  That’s mainly because I have been once again reassured that I have the BEST online family. Seriously, I do.  My peanut gallery rocks my world!

I uploaded a video last night. In that video I chatted a bit about what some see as a slightly controversial topic… swearing in videos.  I love to swear.  It’s a big part of my life.  And my husband and I lovingly swore to each other constantly.  It was playful to us.  When he died in November, I lost all of that fun we had.    I miss that playfulness very much.

I know. There are so many other things to miss when you lose a spouse. But please remember that my husband was an alcoholic and it really did a number on his brain.  I knew when he left his job in January of 2016 that he was very near the end.  He lived 9 more months.  We lived apart, in different states (because, alcoholic, and I didn’t want to watch him die).  Our conversations changed during that time because I knew there was no future for us.  He was dying.  There was no hope of him quitting drinking.  He was forever in denial.  I accepted that.  So our phone calls and texts and voice messages were just playful now, not substantial.  We no longer talked about life and future plans. We lived in the now, and the sicker he got, the less he swore.  I knew he had given up.  His sense of humor was gone.  It made me so sad.

It was after I lost Andy that I decided to be more of myself on my channel.  Allowing myself to swear was in a way keeping part of Andy alive in my heart.  He loved that we could be that way with each other.  I don’t think he appreciated too many things about me, but for sure he loved the fact that I could keep up with his filthy mouth.  And he also loved that I loved that about him.

Okay, sounds like our marriage was not based on much.  lol   And that’s true.  He was an actively drinking alcoholic.  I was a non-drinking alcoholic.  We were miles apart on most everything.  But we did love each other as best as we could.  I loved him way more than he could ever love himself.  And I miss him terribly.

Back to the swearing.  Andy never watched one of my videos.  He really had no interest in what I did, not even when we lived together.  He was thrilled to have a wife who was happy to stay home all day and not complain that all he wanted to do was watch TV.  I was happy to have a couch potato husband who didn’t mind if I sat at my sewing machine or computer all day.  I loved having him in front of the TV.  I felt safe with him there.  He loved just knowing I was somewhere in the house.  I was able to do whatever I wanted (you know, workaholic here).  He was able to have his affair with beer (you know, alcoholic there). And we could swear all we wanted if we ever happened to pass by each other during bathroom breaks.  It was not perfect, but we made it work.

Back to swearing on my videos.  I was worried that the masses would leave when I started swearing.  That’s not the case.  Do some hate it?  Absolutely!  And they let me know.  But many others let me know that they love that side of me and that they also find the humor in it (you can read the comments under this video).  So that’s the direction my channel is taking.  I want to be myself. I want to honor Andy.  I want to not worry about what others think.  I want to be okay with losing part of my audience.  I want to welcome the new audience that will subscribe to my channelbecause of the way I talk, because I’m more of the real me.  It’s all good.  And I might be giving Andy too much credit here, but I think he’d be proud of me for not giving a shit about what others think.  He would never say it, but I think he’d be proud.

I love you, Andy!

Have a great Saturday!

Darlene

easy ranch chicken recipe darlene michaud

Super Easy 3 Ingredient Ranch Chicken Recipe

Please remember that I don’t eat this stuff so I did not test this recipe. I’m just posting so you can try it!

INGREDIENTS:

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb)
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs (any flavor)
non stick spray or 2 tablespoons oil for cooking or use non-stick pan

Darlene’s Tips:  This would also be great cold in a sub roll and add your favorite fixings like lettuce, tomato, etc.  You can also make just one serving at a time if you don’t want leftovers.

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1:  Dip chicken into dressing, then coat with bread crumbs.

Step 2:  In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat or spray with cooking spray or use non-stick pan. Cook chicken 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until outside is golden brown and juice is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.

Friday Chat – Ride Along, Raining Today, Stressing Over Trip

chat-friday

TGIF!

It’s raining!  I’m happy about that.  I need a boost as to getting things done and rain always puts me in a working mood.  Do love!

Yesterday, I took you for a ride to North Berwick so I could visit my favorite thrift store.  But I was sadly disappointed with my trip.  Not only are their prices higher but someone vacuumed the entire time I was there. So not cool.

Today, just not sure what I will do.  I’m stressing because my trip is getting closer.  Most of you know that I actually dread “vacations.”  I don’t do well with any change in my schedule.  Not at all.  Just don’t even want to think about it right now.

Have a great Friday!

Darlene
XOXO
