Ahhhh....this is EASY! Lasagna would be in order for My Skippy Man. Actually, ANYTHING Italian would suit him just fine.
ReplyDeleteI will plan this for Saturday. He'll LOVE IT!

I am saving this one for Friday night... the kids will be away and we will have just Elisabeth with us for the night. I just have to decide which of his favorite meals to make.

Hmmm...maybe that would be Steak and Eggs, with fried potatoes, tomatoes, and homemade toast; However, I would make it for breakfast sometime this weekend.

Hey, Hope......what time's breakfast? :> )
ReplyDeleteLOL! Superman is lusting after some of my cooking...any of my cooking. Anyone know a sure-fire way to send cookies overseas and have them arrive edible?
ReplyDeleteErin,
ReplyDeleteYou know I remember reading an article in some woman's magazine the year the war broke out in Iraq about how to send cookies for Christmas to the troops. They suggested types of cookies that travel well, specific packing instructions and shipping instructions. I can not remember any of it now except not to choose fragile cookies like cut outs with delicate points that would break off. But...
My sister was in the military, stationed over seas, for a number of years. She served on the MWR for Diego Garcia. She has been married to a wonderful man in the Navy for 8 years also. Most of that time they have been apart. If anyone knows how to swing it… she does.
You can check out her blog and leave your question in the comment box. She may take a few days to get back to you as they have a newborn and a sketchy internet connection. But if there is an answer to be had... she will get it if she doesn't know it.
Hugs,

Ha! I guess it would help if I told you the name of her blog. She is at Baby Button the link is

Does anyone else think it is a pain that you can't leave hyper links in your comment? It drives me nuts!

Hi, Erin.
ReplyDeleteHere is what I heard back from my sister on cookie shipping overseas. She said she found this online... as she never had much luck on her own as she always ended up with crumbs or mold. I'd give this a whirl... what's the worst that happens? Do you can at all? Homemade jelly ships nicely!
Hugs,
Kat
Ha...
ReplyDeleteForgot to paste it... yes, I am feeling a little on the ditzy side today!
A little bit of home and a lot of love goes into baked goodies sent to our troops overseas. To make sure your cookies get there in as good a shape as you sent them just follow these simple packing instructions:
* The best size of package to use is a USPS Flat rate priority shipping box. The one that looks like a slightly oversized shoe box, not the one that looks like a shirt box. These boxes ship for $7.70 (at time of writing). Such a great deal! If packed carefully, you can get 4 to 5 dozen cookies safely packed into the box.
* Assemble everything you need - bubblewrap or tissue or plastic bags. This material will be used to fill up the spaces around the boxes you will set inside the flat rate priority box. Don't try to send the cookies overseas without the inner boxes. They just won't make it. Can't find a box to fit? You can cut one down, tape the edges and now you have a custom made box to fit. When I ship cookies overseas I use two white bakery boxes that fit the flat rate priority boxes perfectly.
* Wrap each cookie individually in plastic wrap, or wrap two cookies back to back. Place in the inner boxes. Once you have a layer in place, tuck pieces of plastic wrap in any small gaps. This helps prevent the cookies from shifting around. It is the shifting around that causes breakage.
* Once you have your inner boxes full, tape them shut, and overwrap with a plastic bag and tape that shut. This helps prevent moisture from getting into the package and turning your cookies into a soggy mess.
* Now you are ready to fill the flat rate priority box. Put a layer of bubble wrap into the bottom, set your smaller box or boxes inside. Fill any gaps around the boxes with crumbled newspaper, tissue, or plastic bags.
* Put your note or greeting into a baggy and place into the shipping box. Close it and give it a shake. If nothing moves inside, you can go ahead and seal it up and put on the shipping label. If you hear or feel anything moving inside the package, add more packing material.
Do any of you other ladies have any suggestions how Erin can send some home made goodness to her sweetie?

I was going to make Allen his favorite dinner for our romantic evening alone on Friday night. He beat me to it though. He even set a beautiful table. And he did the cooking. Now that is unusual. I think that I will have to owe him another time. I sure felt loved though.
