Cheesy Grown Up SpaghettiOs

So last night we had a friend over for dinner, we decided to try a new recipe. I didn't cook so i cant really describe the process. How ever +Roy Bell says it is very easy to make. It was so yummy and the only change he had made was some salt. I have to my knowledge never ate a can of SpaghettiOs so i can't compare. I highly suggest that any one make this. i did learn how to do the shredded chicken. its just cooking it in water, and then cutting and breaking it up.

Garden Pasta Pasta, and Lemon Pepper Shrimp.

(-Mushrooms, Cashews, and Pasta + Couscous, and Bell Pepper)

A while back i had made couscous for Roy he didn't care for it to much thought it was rather dry. i really enjoy it so i was looking around online for recipes. i found this one on fox news. there was a slide show (click link to view). i thought the dish looked good and would do well with couscous.
also we aren't fans of mushrooms so we didn't use them, i used a bell pepper.

Food.

OK 3rd time is a charm.  Lesson learned I am saving as a draft as I go.

Newest phone the T-mobile, Samsung Sidekick 4G (SK4G) has an optical DPad on the right hand side, right were my hand slides over some times while typing. So the second attempt to post this my hand fat (lol)  erased. The first time I was righting it at lunch and I deleted it cause I hit delete not save. It happens also what I get for tiring to do this in a rush, at lunch and in the few minutes between talking to my Dad on fathers day, my Gma about number4 her two kids and her boyfriend coming to visit, my best friend and her new Nook and how much fun it is that she has the option of adult videos on demand on it if she so chooses to, and a friend/coworker showing up for dinner just any moment now.
