Jealous teesters?

**EDIT: I posted pics of Top-the-Tator and Doritos on Facebook and it turns out we're not the only ones who know about this awesome-ness.  Add yet another PRO to the benefits of living in the Land of 10,000 Lakes (and Land-o-Lakes).

My oldest sister started this snacking tradition - Doritos and "Top The Tater."  Sounds ridiculous, because it is - but it is absolutely delicious and impossible to replicate with any other sour cream.  It has the Girl Scout Cookie allure - this particular brand and flavor of sour cream is impossible to get outside of Minnesota so we only get it once a year or so.  So, essentially I'm posting this to make my sisters jealously salivate.  


Mmmmmm...

The Cure for "Turkey Bowl Surprise"-Related Illness

You know when you pull some leftovers out of the fridge, give it a sniff, and think "awwww it'll be fine"?  Sadly, for Josh, this time it was not.  He got food poisoning from eating a turkey bowl that was in the fridge a tad too long, so Lindsay nursed him back to health with her quick-style homemade chicken noodle soup.


Here's what she has to say (and she always has something entertaining to say):


"When you're sick nothing calls out more than chicken noodle soup!  I made this recipe up, which isn't hard, but sticks to the simple rules of food when you are sick.  No green stuff, easy to eat, and can be served with saltines and 7-up.  


I boil a chicken breast in herbs, shred it to get rid of any chewy things that make you wanna gag...don't need any more barfing tonight.  Boil some chicken broth with an onion and tiny carrots cut up in squares (remember we are trying to feel 5 years old again here.)  When its all boiled up and stewing away, cut up some pre made chinese egg noodles (about 1/2 a package cuz they bloat up and soak up all the broth if you add too many) and cook till tender. I added fresh parsley for extra flavor on mine:0)

Serve with saltines and 7-up and you are on the highway to health!"

Check out that dice!

Sort out the nasty bits

Mmm noodles
