Dinner Tonight? Tangy Cats and Mice

One of the fun crafts I made with my BFF, Mary last month were some cute chalkboards out of plates. It was quite easy and they turned out darling.

The only problem was we used a chalkboard spray paint...and since I was too lazy to go outside...I decided to cover my table with newspaper and stay inside to paint.

Did you know there is such a thing as over spray?

So, even though we sprayed very carefully just the one taped off small area...it floated everywhere. Like on the kitchen floor...the chairs, my bench, even the back of the couch.

I'm talking a film of oily, black dust, people. Not fun. Not easy to clean up either.

Anyway, a few weeks ago I bought a cute plate rack to put my new chalkboard on and set it up in my kitchen.

Now, fancy Miss Mary writes the meals for the whole week on hers...cause that's the kind of organized gal she is.

Eventually I'll start that up...when I actually get around to planning a menu before I shop {that new Harmon's on the corner will be the death of me...it is far too easy to just run there for a "few things" and never get all the things I need}.

So, until then everyday I just write down the {dinner} meal of the day. {don't be too impressed sometimes it says "Git yer Own"}.

And almost every day a little elf (we'll call her Savvy), changes the menu to a 'funny joke'.

The other day I wrote "Tangy Pork and Rice" -- an hour later I noticed it said, "Tangy Cats and Mice".

On a "Git yer Own" night she changed it to "Dad on a Stick".

Before we left for a reunion in Idaho this past weekend she wrote, "Idaho Potatoes."

I keep telling her to stop it--because it's MY chalkboard after all.

{Apparently, she hasn't been listening..or more likely she just doesn't care.}

Last night, I finally had my camera handy and took a picture of her latest Dinner Creation. She changed my delicious "Chicken Pot Pie" to "Chicken Pot Fly--with real Flies!"

Appetizin' ain't it?

I think I'll be making that clever girl of mine her own chalkboard.
