Family Traditions

Posted in Daily Life

pancakes and sausage

 

Last month, on a particularly hot day, I decided to discard my preplanned menu and cook up some breakfast instead. After all the comments from husband and children on how this was the best supper we'd had in a long time, I decided there was no reason we couldn't do this every week. So now Monday nights are breakfast night at the Telling home. Usually we just have pancakes and sausage, but ocasionally I cook up some eggs too.

 

So what traditions has your family started recently?

first of all -- YUMMY!

The Chinese equivalent of the Joneses would be the Wangs (Wongs). :-)

And yes, the family relationships are so strange because folks continue to use the words for sister and brother when referring to cousins! They have words for cousins, but they will use brother and sister. That confused me so badly for the first few years. It's because they have no siblings that they use the terms for them with their cousins. Strange.

You are not complaining!!! I am soooo sorry about the name thing on my blog!! *embarrassed* I was remembering wrong or something! LOL I fixed it! :)

As for the chocolate shakes those are sooo simple! There isn't any measuring involved!
For my family of 7...the recipe goes like this....put 1/2 gallon vanilla icecream(or chocolate icecream) in blender, squirt in chocolate syrup to make it as chocolatey as desired, pour in milk to thin out to the consistency desired. I usually thin it enough to go thru a straw, however, you can leave it thicker and put in chopped up candy bars or cookies to make your own DQ "blizzard" and eat it with a spoon.

There you have it! And again I can't believe that I got your name wrong!! Soooo sorry!

That looks delicious! Can I come over to your house for dinner next Monday?

It's hard to say what our family traditions are...sometimes I think our "family traditions" are trying out new family traditions..even though they really don't last long enough to become full-fledged "traditions." :-) LOL
