[made582]

Well the first 24 cups of sauce are in the freezer and the last 15 cups just went into the crockpot.

I'm not sure if my doc will allow me to listen. But with a name like The Greasy Skillet, it must heart heathy, right? Maybe RJD uses olive oil instead of lard?

Good Sunday afternoon, my Christmas friends!

I worked all day at Bernie's store yesterday. I tried to check-in, but something's up with the computer there. I'll have to check it out later.

It's really raining again here. Jacob was able to cut the front yard and back yard yesterday, but the pecan orchard (as I like to call it) is still too wet to cut. It has St. Augustine grass which is really thick, especially when wet.

I just had a turkey on wheat from Subway. Not to shabby!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Glad you are sticking to a more healthy diet ! Hope to join you someday soon !! xo

It was a great time. At least the parts I was there for. We'll have to plan another one soon.

Glad you joined in ~ it was fun!

I have missed a LOT of the Greasy Skillet and feel so guilty. I really do enjoy the patter and the music, and I love having the play list.

We miss you, too!

Nope. I think I need at least another 30 lbs to make enough sauce to last until next summer.

How do you make your sauce?

wonderful party this morning! The kids had fun singing all their songs for the parents. The petting zoo was a hit with lambs, ducks (who were not happy to be there!) rabbits, guinea pigs and funny looking chickens. The slide show of all the kids during the week was enjoyed by all with constant...hey that's me! shouts throughout.
One of my kids gave me a big box of brownies that were topped with Cookie dough and drizzled with chocolate. (so much for loosing 30 obs LOL) I got a card with the address of my one of my kids with the note "in case you ever want to knock on my door!" (love it!)

Now we are now about to leave to pick up my mom and head out to a family celebration BBQ

What a lovely time, Christmasstar ~ and what a great card!

Good Evening!
Just watched Mistletoe Over Manhattan (thanx Snowflake:-D)
- And now I can't wait to decorate for Christmas!! =]

I'm so tired.. It would be good to sleep in one morning..Hm...
The little one always comes to me around 6!

Summer is over and schools starts again tomorrow!
It will be good!!

Good evening, Solice! What book are you reading? I really loved the last book you mentioned ~ you have good taste in books! I hope you get a good night's sleep and have a wonderful day tomorrow. I hope the kids have a wonderful day at school, too!

Good evening, MMC!

I can hear rumbles of thunder way off in the distance ~ Bo seems good, he is snoring away in the utility room, so I don't think that storm is going to be near us for a while. The cats are sleeping, too. Nice and peaceful at the moment :???:

I hope everyone has a MERRY evening!

 

[Seawaters]

I am sure RJD will, just for you. Gotta keep the customers healthy and happy!

I'm not sure if my doc will allow me to listen. But with a name like The Greasy Skillet, it must heart heathy, right? Maybe RJD uses olive oil instead of lard?

Crispy Cheddar Chicken; Boil, Smash, Season and Bake Potatoes; fresh corn on the cob; and one other undecided dish are on the menu for tonight. You can find the first two on my Pinterest page under Foods Worth Checking Out.

YUM!! Sounds wonderful!!! I don't have a Pinterest acct. Do you like it a lot? How does it work exactly?

Good early afternoon! It's so beautiful and cool today with no humidity... a girl could get used to this! I had to drag myself out of the kitchen becaue this weather makes me just want to cook and bake!

How is everyone's Sunday>?

Hey Judesmama! Between you, Seawaters, and Made, I'm craving all kinds of food! Can't wait for Fall temps to het here. It's also one of my favorite times of the year to cook =]

Good Evening!

Isn't it a sweet movie?! Such gorgeous Christmas decorations!! Glad you like it, my friend!

How do you make your sauce?

Well I don't really have a recipe anymore but here's what I do.

I fill my crockpot full of diced tomato's. (about 15 cups)

Sautee a large onion and 2 bell pepper's and dump them in

Dice up 4 cloves of roasted garlic and put it in

Then I add around 3 tbps of italian seasoning, 1/4 cup of sugar, Salt and Pepper

Cook on high 6 hours and then let cool

Freeze in 3 cup servings.

Then when I use it, I add a little tomato paste to thicken it up.

Good Evening, MMC!!

Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

It's been a nice & relaxing one for us. We went out for Mexican food last night, watched movies, went for a morning bike ride, and I did some online shopping. I bought a Halloween village piece that reminded me of my best friend, who got me into Fall, Halloween, and Christmas vintage decor. The piece has witches riding on their brooms, really cute & fun!

We just grilled some steaks, I had a Chicago rub on mine, and Adrian had a Montreal one. Very tasty. We also had some four cheese mashed potatoes, and green beans. I am stuffed..

Harlowe is going to play w/ the neighbor dog in a little bit, it's still pretty hot here, about 103 :-? Hope she realizes how much I love her! lol

Then, later on, we'll watch America's Funniest Home Videos. If someone had told us 10 years ago how much we'd enjoy watching that show together, I would have thought they were crazy!

*Thinking of you all, sending hugs & smiles*

Talk to you tomorrow!

Good evening,

Long day here, we went to a cookout and let the kids play until exhaustion took over, for them and us. I actually played my Wii for the first time in 6 months today, I haven't played it since healing from my foot injury back in February. Back to work tomorrow, then day off on Tuesday. School starts next week up here, my wife is looking forward to going back to class, she keeps saying dealing with 30 kids in her classroom is easier than dealing with our two. cheesy I can see that being home with them everyday since June.

I'm hungry for something spicy, I'll see what I have.

Had a great time on the chat last night, we should do that again soon.

Have a great night!!

Hubby and I were in Hobby Lobby a couple weeks ago and I already heard "Already..........It's too soon"....Not being filled with the Christmas spirit quite yet, I wanted to deck the person !! But I just smiled and said It's ALWAYS time for Christmas which got me a look like I had escaped from an insane asylum ! xo

I may have to try that, thanks Made.
