The New Table

By -
I have been watching a certain table for a while and today, I noticed it was 50% off!
We hopped in the car and zoomed over to get it. I liked this particular item because it was the right size for the space and had a lot of drawers to help keep surface clutter down. I hope this theory works!

Some assembly was required -- so I had to get out the tools and get busy. Actually it was just a screwdriver but there were a bajillion screws! The frame had to be put together and then every drawer assembled. (sigh) It was a 5 hour job (while doing other things) but I do think the end result worked! What do you think?

It was a better use for the space than what I had been using and I love the drawers to keep surface clutter away! It's just another small step in the constant battle of household simplification and organization, LOL!

Do you have anything on your wish list anything that you are watching for the price to drop? If you do - make sure that you have strong wrists if any assembly is required.

    It's a tough call...you can save in the beginning by getting a used one on a place like Craigslist...but they minght not be very energy efficient and end up costing you in the long run. You can get decent, smaller chest freezers NEW for under $200...I would keep an eye on the $100 price point - Good luck!

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
