Well, I didn't quite get the door knob put on Sunday, but managed to get it on today...maddening!!! It is not complicated just that you need to be an octopus to put it all together, hold it and screw it at the same time - LOL. Also, my doors have these lovely brass plates (that came with the house not really keen on them...that made it extra hard.
I just left the plate off! I don't like it anyway... Now, I am thinking that I want to replace all my door knobs with some less flashy ones (mine are all brass) like maybe a nice burnished copper or antique silver...
Oh well, it is done for now - more later on the door knob project. Thanks to you anonymous for the tip on the hole in the bedroom door knobs, but for some reason this is a real key lock (like a front door) and I am not sure at all where the key is... I do plan on leaving the b-room alone as it is a normal bathroom knob and will open with the little key over the door.

Hearty Oat Banana Flapjacks - Ditch the Syrup!
Recipes QuakerOats.com
Wow a share button...who'd a thunk it! I love to make these for my son and freeze them. Click on the above to link to the recipe.
They are a much healthier alternative to store frozen waffles and pancakes and he likes them without syrup - whooo hooo! One batch feeds him breakfast for about 2 weeks, if he eats them everyday. I do give him the store ones too - he likes them, but I feel better giving him these too.
I highly recommend the above website and the cookbook (called Quaker Breads, Cookies, Muffins ,Snacks and More! available at Wal-Mart and it has tear out recipe cards to put in your recipe box or folder), the above recipe calls for syrup...I think you should try it without first - my son and I LOVE it sans syrup.
Let me know if the link works...

Quick Easy Bisquick Rolls...So Easy My Husband Could Do It!
I made leftovers for dinner tonight...we had the Pepper & Olive (but no pasta) with the baked chicken from last night. Instead of the shell pasta I made the easiest rolls EVER! I didn't put anything in them tonight, but think they would be excellent with herbs, such as oregano,basil etc or fruit & spices, such as apples & cinnamon...I will let ya know how these come out.
Quick Easy Bisquick Rolls
2 1/4 cups Bisquick
8 oz sour cream
1/2 cup of margarine, melted
1. Preheat oven to 350degrees F.
2. Stir 2 cups of Bisquick, sour cream and margarine together until moist through.
3. Make 36 balls of dough...sprinkle with the 1/4 cup of Busquick to make smooth; put three balls in each cup of a muffin pan.
4. Bake for 15 - 20 min until golden.

DIY Sunday
I can't imagine I am the only one with a TON of "do it yourself" projects in the hopper just waiting to be done (of course by me - lol).
So, I am going to start DIY Sunday! Today, as soon as my little man wakes up from his nap - I intend to change his door knob. He has one that locks right now and that is a recipe for disaster! Luckily, he has not locked himself in yet...but he can lock the doors - he has locked me in my room several times (good thing I was inside instead of outside my room - lol). I haven't decided what to do about the other locking doors. I hate to change them all out, because when we have guests I want them to be able to have a lock... Let ya know what I come up with and a report on how it goes for me today.

Dinner was Goooooood!
The beans were a last minute addition...didn't want to do plain green beans, so cut up 3pc of bacon and cooked in frying pan, then I sauted a a Roma tomato sliced with a med onion chopped and 1 clove of garlic minced in 2tsp of the bacon grease. Drained the green beans a little and then combine it all and voila!
