Yummy Food entry

Hi  Everyone

 

Well I am home sick day 2, nasty cold but I am sure I will live.  I have pictures to share……YAY!  This weekend Dave made home made beef stew and yesterday he made Justine’s Artisan bread oooo boy I feel the inches going to my hips!

 

The stew in the slow cooker….Roast beef, onions, tons of seasonings, water, beef broth, celery, carrots, onions and potatoes.

Dave is like stop taking my picture!

 

 

The finished product!  He cut everything really big so it would be real chunky!

 

And next thanks to Justine’s wonderful 5 minute Artisan bread recipe he made this yesterday.  Go to by blogger buddies page for the wonderful and easy as pie recipe:  http://www.stupidisassisterdoes.com/2010/01/tuesdays-at-table-with-cole.html

 

This is a wonderful easy bread recipe, and there was left over dough we put in a zip lock bag in the fridge, it says it will stay good for 2 weeks but I am sure we will make more by then.  I am pretty sure the recipe calls for 6 cups of flower, 2 packs of yeast, and water.  After mixing you just let the dough rise for 2 hours, then you pull off the grapefruit size section you want to cook put it in the pan you are going to cook it in and let rise and additional 40 minutes.  Oh ya be sure to put corn meal or flour on the bottom of the pan so it does not stick.  Oh yes you have to score the dough so it does not crack while cooking.  It is a heavy wonderful bread that is really filling, again thanks to Justine for this!

We had a beautiful full moon the other night the sky was so blue and starry.

Well I hope everyone has a good week and hopefully you wont catch any cooties like I did!

A plethora of Pictures

Hi Gang,

I am really trying to be better and blog more often but we have been doing so many household stuff I am to lazy to do it.  I really want to share with you what we did so I am getting this post while I am at work (shhh don’t tell, or I will get fired and then be blogging every day and you will all get sick of me).

 

We got the Man Room set up at least the basics, new Futon for the imaginary guests Dave seems to think we are going to have sleeping over our house.  His new desk and Chair and printer cart.  He has been working diligently a little day by day to go through the mess of boxes that are cluttering up my Tabby room now.  Now we moved into this place a year ago and we kept the door close of the man room/office with boxes of stuff that had not been gone through and put away yet.  Have a look

  yes I know it is a mess and I am almost embarrassed to post it.

Here is my Nice little Tabby/exercise/reading room before we moved the mess into it

Here it is all empty, Delilah is thinking the sheet we are using as a drop cloth is a kitty bed

Getting ready to paint, see all the holes on the wall Dave had to fill, he did all the edging work and I did all the walls as he still gets very sore an tired easily from being sick.

The new color a bit darker

Did I tell you I got a great deal I got this comforter for 80 then 4 days later it was marked down to 40 so I got $40 back (sorry this has nothing to do with the man room)

Time to put the new furniture together and of course the monster kitty has to check it out

Sorry had to put in another cute picture of the Delilah Doo

Happy man on his new man couch!

He started really man-ing it up with his Motorcycle, nascar and guitar stuff…lol .  There will be pictures, a house plant/tree and a new bookshelf going in here too.

  Delilah likes it!

Since I have been so lazy and not getting to my blogging like I would like too you will have to see more pictures…ho hum.  It was a cold weekend (I love it) so we decided to make Home made lasagna on Saturday and then cook Sheppard's pie on Sunday.  Here are the pictures.  I love having Davey well because he is the greatest cook.  Now I wish I could of shared some of this food with you all because we have tons and tons of left overs.  Here is the Lasagna, got a great recipe off the net, it is sausage and Hamburg cheesy lasagna From start to finish.

   

 

Now after I just inserted all these pictures in one by one I just found out I could of done them all as an album…grrrr (I am using windows live writer and it is a new option).  So the next set are Sunday and Sheppard's pie and a few odd and end pictures:

As far as the news lately I am sorely going to miss Patrick Swayze he was one of my biggest teen Heart throbs.  I hope they do a movie marathon of all his movies as I loved them all and I will be tuned in.  It sure is great Fall is almost here as the TV programs are starting up again.  Just started watching The Vampire Diaries and it is pretty good. I am so into vampires I am re-reading the twilight series and about the start the Sookie Stackhouse Vampire novels (True Blood series is based on these books).   Tonight Supernatural is on and another great show is The Lords of Anarchy that started up again.

This weekend my mission is to take down my summer decorations outside and get my fall stuff out; make my shell wreath for the bathroom, Change my blog to my fall theme,  help Dave organize and get all his clutter put away.   Whoa reading this makes me tired, I need to rest a bit so I will take it slow :)  Also I am so glad it is football season again…Woo hoo!  Everyone have a great weekend.  Until my next post…..
