Reborn as a food blog?

I'm sorry Blog, I neglected you. I created this blog to help me get through my husbands tour, however I managed without it. The thing about having a soldier overseas is there's only much I can share with the public, especially when that public is the internet. But he's been home safe and sound for a few months and is now back to work. I thought today was the day to dust you off.

Sometimes my husband gets sent on short overnight jobs that don't involve leaving the city, we're a training base and he's in communications so by sometimes I mean, a lot. Tonight is one of those nights. I tend to take advantage of those nights, I get extra cleaning done, maybe I let one or both kids stay up late. And I cook food my husband won't eat.

He now he was gone 3 nights last week and I got most of my normal cravings out in that time. Hamburger mess [1lb ground beef and a can of vegetable soup with an onion and some mushrooms, serve it with beets and boiled potatoes nomnomnom] and Saurkrout and Sausages. So when he said he'd be gone today I thought "shit what craving can i take care of?" It's only one night so stinky fish was not in order, not enough time to get the fish smell out... So it's an appetizer picnic night.

I had to pick up a few groceries the other day so I took a look in the cupboard/fridge to see what I need to use, there wasn't much that needed to go. I did have half a package of puff pastry, two packages of cream cheese, half a bag of shredded cheese and half a pepper squash though. So this is what I decided to do. I'm going to do puff pastry packages in three flavors, Squash/cheese/caramelized onions, Smoked Mussels/balsamic portobello mushrooms/parmesan, and smoked oysters/bacon. Nom right? Also I'm going to hollow out about 12" of baguette and fill it with Cream cheese, bacon, cheddar, caramelized onions, and herbs/garlic. The other half? Bruschetta.

I'm sort of inventing on this one folks so as I make it I will keep track of my ingredients, take photos and will post an update tomorrow with recipes and photos.
