BEETLEJUICE 2 OPENS IN THEATERS 

SEPTEMBER 6TH!!!

6 MORE DAYS!

CAN'T WAIT!!!

 Another spooky (and sad) story from Disneyland...

A Token of Remembrance

Submitted by Dawn B.

There was a woman in queue for the Haunted Mansion and she seemed sad. The attraction greater at the foyer asked her why she was sad. She shared a story of her teenage son who had been diagnosed with cancer. She had promised him they would come to Disneyland together when he got better. 

He unfortunately never did and passed away. She was carrying with her a photo of the 2 of them together and showed it to the Cast Member. He asked her if he could have the photo and he would place it in the ballroom and they could be at Disneyland forever together. 

The photo used to be under the second plate from the left on the table. Yes I’ve actually seen the photo. It has since been moved to behind the small settee under the staircase.

Crunch time!

I have A LOT on my to-do list on art pieces and other goodies to have available for my 2 upcoming shows: Sugar Plum an Creep It Real OC - 

I've been painting like a madman!

But  it makes the assembling so much easier!

I got a lot done, don't ya think?!

Ozzy and Sid say HI!

 Today I'd like t share a great crock pot recipe - 

Crockpot Chicken & Gravy

Author: Plain Chicken

Yield: 6 people

Slow Cooker Chicken & Gravy – only 3 ingredients!!

 Such a great weeknight meal! Just dump everything in the crockpot and let it work its magic! 

Serve over hot steamed rice with some green beans. SO easy and kid-friendly too!

Equipment:

6-qt Slow Cooker

Ingredients:

• 3 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 (10.5-oz) can Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup
• 2 (0.87-oz) envelopes of chicken gravy mix
• 1/2 cup water or chicken broth, optional
• hot steamed rice

Instructions:

• Place chicken in the slow cooker and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
• Whisk together soup, gravy mix, and water (if using). Pour over chicken.
• Cover crock-pot and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours.
• Before serving break the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Serve over hot steamed rice.

Notes:

• Do NOT make the gravy. You are only using the dry mix.
• Can use chicken thighs or tenderloins in place of chicken breasts.
• Can use frozen chicken breasts.
• You will need to cook on the higher end of the cooking time if using frozen chicken.
• Can add frozen vegetables to the mixture.
• I suggest using Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup in this dish to control the sodium.
• You can buy it by the case at Amazon: https://amzn.to/49n4uZE
• Need Gluten-free Cream of Chicken Soup? You can buy it here: https://amzn.to/3MtqQ1s
