Mama's House

UPDATE: So it's pretty clear we'll be doing this at a later time. I'm going to suggest now that we do it next Friday at 6pm. Sorry Lindsey, I know you won't be here for that. Hopefully you'll all be able to schedule it in. And yes Austin, this is going into the Google Calendar.

Hey everyone, sorry about the breakdown in communication and the resulting poor planning regarding tonight. The original plan was to meet at the fish and chip place near CSUN probably at around 6pm or so. But due to poor communication on my part apparently nobody was able to plan this into their schedule. I know that Austin has already made other plans and that Annette and Melanie have yet to find babysitters. So we can do one of two things:

1) Those of us able and willing to get together for a drink or two can still do so at about 6pm tonight OR
2) We can push it back to another date when we can get more of us together through better planning and communication.

Let me know soon and I'll update this post accordingly in a few hours.

UPDATE: The only thing to strike me as interesting from this debate was the mention that Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. Well that may simply be not true.

So I'm going to try to liveblog tonight's MSNBC's Democratic debate - it's on from 6pm to 8pm. I say try because Coveritlive seems to have overloaded for the time being.

Anyway, if it does happen, the best way to enjoy this would be to watch along with me - drink in hand - and to participate with comments and voting in the polls.

For those with an xbox circle & rock band... get it and our live show will be complete! This should be the next investment for PGW.

It could be just about the best thing ever. Expect to see it in use soon, probably for something none of you will care about.

Just wanted to see who would be interested spending Memorial Weekend out in Vegas? Who's in and who's out? Just wanted to get a head count so I could get a place... I was thinking MGM. Let me know...

Chicken Cacciatore had the honor of being New Dish #2. It is yet another recipe for the slow cooker from

Not much to do here. All you need is some boneless, skinless chicken. You put it in the slow cooker along with a jar of your favorite marinara sauce, mushrooms, sliced onions, and sliced bell pepper. Cook on low for about 8 hours or on high for 3. Then you can serve as is over cooked fettuccine.

Next time I cook it though I'll think about leaving out the bell pepper and slicing the onions a bit thinner. But that's just a personal preference.
