• The Chef.

  Beef Stew was on the menu for tonight.
  Sammy asked if he could make it today all by himself.

  So with Mom looking over his shoulder giving step by step instructions...
  My little chef peeled and chopped and sauteed and sliced and boiled!
  Then put his masterpiece into the slowcooker to simmer all afternoon.

  This cold weather comfort food
  will probably find it’s place on our dinner table only once or twice more this season…..
  Then it’s onto BBQ Chicken and Brats on the Grill!

   

  When I was younger, I Hated cooked vegetables. I only liked to eat them raw.
  Around the time I first met Jeff, his family invited me to dinner.
  His Grandmother placed a helping of cooked carrots onto my plate.
  I was too embarrassed to tell her “No Thank You”.
  I decided it best to be polite and choke them down.
  To my surprise, they actually tasted good!

  From that point on I loved to eat cooked vegetables.
  Just in case anyone was wondering that about me.

    

  Today I have been married to my Favorite person for 14 years.
  We had such a great weekend together. Alone.
  You know what we did? Nothing!  It was so nice and so relaxing.

  Today I think we’re going on a hot date to return some library books. =)
  Have a Great evening.
