For the long haul

Or could be better said as "I'll be off next week."

Since it's a holiday weekend and I already had monday off, I'm taking the rest of the week to help clean out the parents house. Along the way, I fully intend to visit a couple of cookouts, make some homemade strawberry ice cream, and slow roast a chicken on the grill with some Jamaican Jerk Seasoning and a beer. Great flavor, trust me on that.

Yesterday, one of our co-workers provided the stuff for a cook-out for lunch. Steak, baked potato, salad, and two different desserts. One was the low fat, low calorie gunk that some of them go nuts over. The other was a chocolate eclair dessert. None was left. This sounded like an appropriate dessert to leave you with. When I come back- I'll be overloaded with school, crying because Carolina bombed the best of seven, and wishing for another holiday. Maybe I'll just make this dessert to cheer me up! :)

Chocolate Eclair Dessert
1 Box of honeymaid graham crackers
1 lrg pkg of vanilla instant pudding
