my sister Bonnie who we saw when we went to florida used to love this stuff. it has been forever since i had it so i made some yesterday for lunch. i added a couple things. Bonnie always just did macaroni, a can of chopped stewed tomatoes and some milk. i added a little olive oil, some garlic, and some spices. also i chopped fresh tomato instead of canned. the kids ate it, but picked around the tomatoes. they did not ask for seconds. thats ok. i have lunch for the week then! we watched the rest of Heroes season one yesterday, played in the outdoor pool for several hours, read books, did laundry, and some housework. no big labor day cookout; but i think we had fun. i have very little family here-- my sister Patti who is working, raising a son, and taking courses online; and my brother Mike who has two daughters, a son, and a couple grandkids who he pretty much raises together with his ex-wife (who he lives with). My family has their own lives... I really don't have any friends as such. I give all my time to a job, my kids, and a girlfriend, so I don't have any friends who I see on a regular basis. Charlie, my friend who I worked with called me to get together Sunday while I was working to get together on Monday for breakfast, when I had the kids. Sometimes i wish I had a bigger family or more friends, but I pour most of my time and effort into Lexie and Logan and making their lives as good as possible. Lexie asked "Aren't you supposed to have a cookout on Labor day?" and I told her I would just cook in the kitchen since it was just the three of us. If the pool had not been open, i was gonna take them to Otter Creek...
