Friday Night Special (Aaaaand The Jonas Brothers)

Okay, so Hubby's out of town and Momma's going out tonight! I was supposed to meet up w/some girlies and play BUNCO (I love BUNCO), but the plans have changed due to just about everyone being on bless-ED vacation. So I'm going out for "drinks and hor'dourves." Sounds good.

So it's movie night for my girls. Grandma is coming over to watch the premiere of Camp Rock (I am actually a little--a lot--bummed I'm missing this, but I'm recording it for later). So I prepared this wonderful KID'S MEAL, courtesy of "KIRBYGOLDS" on http://www.allrecipes.com/. It's all about the kiddos tonight, but it was actually VERY YUMMY. It's supposed to serve six, but um...it was just me and my two girlies a-eating, so you might want to make more. It was really good though. Here's the recipe:

Beans-n-Franks

INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons margarine
3 tablespoons chopped onion
1 (16 ounce) can baked beans with pork (I used Bush's vegetarian baked beans)
1 (16 ounce) package frankfurters, sliced (I used Jennie-O Turkey Hot dogs)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon celery salt

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onions in butter until tender. Stir in the baked beans and sliced frankfurters. Season with brown sugar, mustard and celery salt. Transfer to a 2 quart casserole dish.
Bake for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Anyhoo...so tonight, while the kiddos and grandma are munching on Red Vines and popcorn w/a few Junior Mints thrown in the mix, watching those cutie Jonas Brothers, Momma will be out trying to be an adult and make adult conversation. It's been a while, so there is very good potential blog material to be made tonight. This could be good.

Oh, and here's the recipe for the fruit dip (thank you Tina at Allrecipes) that I was supposed to take to BUNCO tonight. The girls and grandma can munch on this tonight too. Sheesh...maybe I should just stay hoooooooome...

Tina's Fruit Dip

INGREDIENTS
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sour cream
3 teaspoons vanilla extract


DIRECTIONS
In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the butter and brown sugar. Remove from heat when the butter has melted.
In a medium mixing bowl, whip together the butter mixture, sour cream and vanilla. Serve warm, or allow the dip to chill and thicken in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Happy Friday night, y'all!

I have yet to play Bunco. I am thinking I've been living under a rock...still...about so many things. And a girls night out...with adult conversation...just give me a minute to put my face on and I'll be right there...

I think the food sounds yummy! And I so wish we had the Disney channel; the Jonas brothers have been on every talk show lately doing pr for this movie (that I can 't see because of the aforementioned channel we don't have).
