A little IU vs PU humor

If you didn't know, I went to Purdue University.  Much to my parents dismay!  I grew up being an IU fan.  (I am still a Bobby Knight fan.  Sssshhh don't tell.)  My parents are still die hard IU fans.  But their sweet daughter went to the dark side and went to Purdue.  Our house is VERY divided.  I will admit over the years, my parents have embraced Purdue athletics.  (As long as they are not playing IU.)  Thought I would share this joke I received many moons ago.

 

Bobby Knight, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Indiana University flag in the window.

"This house is yours for eternity, Bob," said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here."

Bob felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3000-story SKYSCRAPER with a Black and Gold sidewalk, made out of platinum trimmed in gold. It had a 300 story golden gate around it with blue and white pearls hanging from the top, furthermore it had a 4800 foot diamond flagpole with an enormous PURDUE University logo silk flag, and in every window, a PU logo.

Bob looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I won three national championships, more Big Ten titles than I can remember and I am the winningest coach in IU basketball history."

God said "So what do you want to know, Bob?" "Well, why does Gene Keady get a better house than me?"

God chuckled, and said "Bob, that's not Gene's house, it's mine."

Recipe: Easy Chicken Pot Pie

Life gets boring sometimes when you have to think every. single. day.....what is for dinner?!  I wanted to try something different so I made a chicken pot pie.  I've never made one before but wanted to keep it super simple.  I looked at several recipes online and this is what I came up with.

Easy Chicken Pot Pie
Preheat your oven to 375F

Here is what you will need:

1 can of mixed vegetables
2 cans of cream of chicken soup
2 cans of chicken (You can use fresh chicken, too.  I was trying to keep it easy and fast.)
1/4 cup of chicken broth
2 pie crusts (one for the top and bottom of your pot pie)
seasonings of your choice (I added salt and lots of pepper)

Please excuse my cheap apt counter tops.  But admire my pretty Longaberger pink pie plate!

 Gradually mix all your ingredients (except for the pie crust) in a bowl.  Gradually add the chicken stock in until it is a consistency you like.  I made the mistake of adding way to much chicken stock.

Line your pie plate with the pie crust and pour your filling in.

Put the next pie crust on top and cut a slit in the top so it has a vent.

Cook in a 375F oven for about an hour.  When you see it start to bubble inside you will know it is done.

 Take out of the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes.  Insides will be extremely hot.

Yum, yum, yum, yum

Like I have said before I am not a real 'exact' cook.  I don't measure.  I just kind of eyeball it.  (Much to my mother's dismay.)  The one mistake I did make was I added too much chicken stock.  I should have gradually poured it in as my pot pie was very full.  Next time I will get it right!  This made enough for me to eat for 6-7 meals. 

Just saying heyyyyyy

Hello!  Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend!  Sorry I have been quiet on the blog this week.  Needed a little break but I will be back at it next Monday.  In the meantime enjoy these adorable pictures of my nieces.  (Photos courtesy of my Mom and Andy.)
