for showers, bridal and baby showers, unlike a few days earlier which was a day for rain showers. Strat has gotten to where he truly is a big baby. It doesn't have to be pouring with thunder pounding, it can be getting dark with rain on the way and he takes cover. He usually hides under a table. The other day we had rain and it was awesome but Strat stayed under the desk for two hours.

As for the showers, I was thinking about shower food for three days before the festivities. It put me in the mood for deviled eggs. I broke down and made some Sunday. It was kind of like my pre-shower warm up. I should do that more often. Once I got to the showers I was pretty much full. I took a picture of my last minute deviled eggs but something screwed up with the download. Here's a few of them.

I really could have used a few of those eggs yesterday. I grabbed a Healthy Choice meal from the freezer and followed the directions to make my classic meatloaf with mashed potatoes, corn and apple/cranberry dessert. I peeled the cover from the dessert and cut a slit over the corn and heated for 3 1/2 minutes. The next step was to uncover the meat/potato compartment to flip the meat and stir the potatoes.

There was no meat. I laughed and called them. They said they're sending me coupons for a replacement along with other coupons. No big deal. I decided I'd just finish it off and have the vegetables and dessert. Make that vegetables and part of the dessert. Most of the apple/cranberry stuff oozed over the edge during part two of the cooking.

I was left with not even 3/4 of the meal and a mess in the microwave. Lunch fail.
